Portacamp Ultralight Compact Folding Camping/Tailgating/Hiking/Sports Chair

PROS: Ultra light-weight and packs down small; pretty easy set-up, breakdown/pack; surprisingly comfortable for such a small chair; holds up even though you can feel a wobble when you move.CONS: can be a bit wobbly moving around - careful if you're reaching forward for something, chair will tilt forward.TIPS: as another reviewer noted, when setting up, first get the framing in place, then put on bottom corners, then put on top (by head) corners last (will be easier to push the framing in).NOTES: yes, it feels a bit wobbly but like a tent frame it can move around a lot, doesn't mean it's going to topple or break. I tend to not like these types of chairs because I feel like my legs are being squished together when I sit (like a hammock chair) and have pressure against the bar or edge, but these sit pretty nice. You are certainly paying for the luxury of a small packable chair so I would only recommend if that is what you need.

You'll notice that there are dozens of identical chairs available on Amazon with different brand names. I'm pretty sure that there is one manufacturer in China who is then resold on Amazon via a bunch of small storefronts that each put their own branding on the chair. So aside from a few high end models that are actually different, you'll find that every single one of these chairs is identical aside from branding and maybe slight differences in the carry case or add-on features like snaps to hold the carry case to the legs when the chair is set up.The chair is sturdy and fairly comfortable. It is easy to set up and easy to take down and re-pack into its carry bag. I bought three similar folding chairs on Amazon and this one packs up the smallest, but the others have additional features (an extended back on one, and adjustable height legs on the other) that contribute to their larger pack size. My only complaint with this chair is that the shape of it causes you to sit in a very leaned-back position, which doesn't give any support to your head and also tends to make you feel like you're going to slide out of it. But all of these similar portable chairs have the same seating position so it's just par for the course really.

This chair is great. It is easy to put together and easy to take apart, only takes a minute or two. It holds a good amount of weight, I do not have that info in front of me but I have a few extra pounds and it holds me fine. Ideal for the hiker, it is just so compact and lightweight. I can fit 2 of these chairs in my car using the same amount of room or less as one of the folding camping chairs that come in a bag. We have been down sizing our camping gear and I do mean that literally. This fits in a back pack easy or you can clip it on the out side, they really are light weight. They have mesh on the sides and back, very breathable, keeping you cooler. The frame uses the same concept of the dome tent, the poles are all connected and pull apart and fold up nice and small and fits right in the pouch and zipper it up and go. Very easy. It is comfortable too, it does sit a bit lower than the other bagged camping chair but it is great for sitting by the fire at this height. Replacing my camping chairs with these is saving so much room in my trunk, you can tuck them in here and there. When camping with a tent and car, every inch of room is needed, I love this chair.

Just got back from the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans. Usually brought our full size metal folding chairs with us and would then have to lug them around with us from venue to venue, what a pain. Well not anymore. These chairs only weight 2 lbs. Bought some carabiner clips and hooked them right on our belt loops. Barely knew they were there. Easy to assemble and take apart. They do sit a little closer to the ground, but still pretty comfortable considering.

The chair is really comfortable. As others stated, it's hard to get the poles in the canvas for the chair. However, the poles click together with no problems. Took mine backpacking and it's a bit bulky for the trip, but I made it work. I did not feel like I was sliding forward or sliding out of the chair as others mentioned. I'm 5'11'' and 190 lbs.

Wanted to like this chair. The short back ones are awesome, you sit "in" them. The tall back one isnt deep enough in the seat area so you feel like you are sliding off the front. Without your feet on the ground supporting you that just might happen. Makes it impossible to just sit and relax.

Great quality, have been using it extensively. First time setup might be tricky, but once you know how to set it up, it's cake.The long back is fantastic, made all my friends jealous who only have the basic chairs.

I bought this for a backpacking trek. I wish I had bought it years ago. I have been carrying it my small pack, to picnics, and just about anywhere. It's so small that I can bring it everyplace! It's so much cheaper than other brands that seem to be identical! Will be buying two more for my sons!

Comfortable, but packaging is a bit bulky. Biggest problem is it is prone to fly away with the smallest gust.of wind. Not convenient on canoe/portage trips since you do not get to choose which direction to build a fire, since they are usually pre determined fire pits, or the direction of the wind if the lake. Would like choose the small back version of this. Quality has held up so far after one summer of moderate use. Wish the feet were more apt to different terrain. Added ping pong balls to the bottom of mine, as they can get stuck in Rocky terrain. Seems ok in sand though. I don't feel like the extra bulk and weight are worth it for longer portage trips ,but will use on regular car camping/short hike trips.

Looks great and love it so far. Cant wait now to try in during my camping trip this weekendUpdate : After a week of camping : Unfortunately, the chair didn't resist. The left corner pole perforated the fabric and by looking the right side, it wont last long. The corner should be reinforced to make it more robust. I'm in the process to order another one (the same) but I will reinforced the corner my self. FYI, I'm 210 lbs and that chair is rated to a max of 350 lbs. I really like that chair and I will give it another chance.Update : Love Amazon. Did a request to replace it yesterday and I already received my replacement one. Great service. Not, let's see how I can reinforce the lower corners.

I purchased the chair and just used it in Hawaii on the beach and on grass. I weigh 240lbs and had issues with the cheap canvas chairs since they only support 150lbs. We travel every year to Hawaii and purchase chairs there and leave them or they break. Because of this chairs lite weight we took it with us in our luggage. For 3 weeks it supported me on uneven sand and grass, comfortably with no issues. It should last for years and was a good solution over the disposable chairs. Very happy with this purchase.

I picked this up to have a small chair I can keep in the car for adventures. Mostly I have used it in the yard.1) easy to assemble,2) works on grass but it sinks in a bit and leaves little holes.3) comfy but not great lumbar support so if you need that get a cushion or something.

Takes a while to get used to putting it up, but easy once you practice. Takes only one person to assemble. Folds down small and lightweight, wish the carry bag had a strap for easy transport. Chair is comfortable for travel seat. Feels a little as though you will slip off the front edge but if you just relax and lean back you will not fall. Bought for elderly family member on a long trip, only complaint is that it is low, need some help to get out of it.
