Which Chair

Hi Shell P, I have one as well and use a towel to cover it. I'm in the NT so it's hot every day but the towel stops the sweat. No towel and the chair is soaked in no time. As for another choice of chair the $7.00 bunnings special.

Those cheap flimsy folding chairs are a waste of money, I lost count how many were dumped in or near the bins here over the tourist season, had a couple from Canberra here for a couple weeks and they had good quality heavy duty folding chairs , the price was around the $90 - $110 range, but they won't have to buy again and again, and sorry the brand I cannot remember but the legs and main frames were around 1 inch wide.

Hi Shell. I am in NSW so not sure if you have Kangaroo Tent City over there. I have recently purchased 2 Diamantina folding chairs and they are really comfortable. They only fold flat so could be a bit bulky for you. They have two tone grey fabric and adjustable front legs. The back has 5 positions and they weigh 5kg each. They were $90 each after bargaining. Coleman also have a similar chair but a bit heavier. Cheers Bob

My vote will go to the OZ tent chair we have a oztent stretcher and is very tough .
They make a high back , low back & lumbar support from about $ 70 - $ 100 or so
cheers nick

Amongst my friends and campers is the coleman 5 position striped chair

Just phoned my friends in Canberra, they are the Dune Nomad XL chair, he got the chairs at Anaconda Store, price was $119 , just checked the net and Anaconda now has the chair at $59.99, looking at it on the webpage the bottom is well reinforced,

See on the website Nomad XL Chair

Lots of chairs on the market but which is best will depend on what suits your needs. You need a chair that your body is comfortable in and the only way to work that out is to go and sit in them. What looks good in a brochure just might not feel comfortable. Also depends on what space you have in your vehicle.
The bigger chairs like the Coleman jumbo take up a lot of space compared to the small models.

We now carry a pair of both the jumbos and el cheapo ones from Big W that fit into a space specifically designed for them. The el cheapos are quick to open out and are cool and easy to carry around, while the jumbos take longer to set up and are a bit cumbersome to move around, but are warmer and more comfy in cool weather.

HTH,

Cheers,

Most comfortable fold up /compact camp chair I've ever had is a Coleman - still have them - about 10 years now - very similar to this model [ this one, but mine are an earlier version (flat solid wood arm rests). Note the high back - that is a feature. I have had to replace a few broken swivel pins where the various tubes join - only a couple of minutes, with a split pin or piece of wire. When folded into their bag, they stay long, but collapse to quite narrow. Of the true foldups, they are the best option I think. Another one to see here. Probably the current version of ours.
