Travelchair Ultimate Slacker Chair

Customer Reviews

I bought this chair to replace a camp stool I have because I wanted some back support. I chose this one vice the one at REI because this one was cheaper and it was easier to get it mailed than making my way to REI.
It got here and I opened it up and sat in it and immediately told my wife we were going to REI. This chair is unstable and the back rest doesn't open wide enough to be really comfortable.
We went to REI and I bought the GCI Outdoor Quik-E-Seat, Item 767165 for $29.00 plus tax. Granted that it was more expensive than this Amazon one (don't get the REI camp stool for $24.50, it's just as bad as this one! Spend the extra few bucks on the Quik-E-Seat, you'll be glad you did!)
So, the Quik-E-Seat has a carry handle of sorts (a strap) which this one doesn't. It has a better support system, it's lighter, and folds easier and smaller than this one. So, if you can get to REI, go. If not, then order the Quik-E-Seat online. And no, I do not work for REI, I'm in the military and I spend a lot of time in the field and a good, portable, supportive chair is worth it's weight.
Cheers!
P.S. - I did a search for the Quik-E-Seat on Amazon and it is available from an external website for a reasonable price in comparison to REI.

Took this on a scout backpacking trip that lasted a week and went up to pretty high (11,000 ft) elevations. It added some weight to my pack, but was totally worth it when i had a comfy place to sit my old, tired body all week. The backrest fit my small frame (I'm 5'3") but my bigger sons used it and didn't complain. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Travelchair Features

• WebbingSeat belt webbing is good enough to save your life and it is good enough to reinforce our chairs. Travelchair goes beyond the industry standard to use the toughest webbing in the business.


• FeetFeet hold the chair together and keep you out of the dirt. Travelchair feet are designed, like our molded grommets, to be at peace when loaded. The nylon insures that the feet in your chair will be flexible and strong.


• GrommetsTravelchair molds grommets to conform to optimal angles when the chair is loaded. High strength nylon and double stitching means no compromise in durability.


• RivetsNot all rivets are the same--Travelchair rivets are oversized to maintain frame integrity. Instead of drilling a large hole to drop the rivet into and then mashing down the ends for a tight fit, Travelchair drills to exacting tolerances, which means more manufacturing time spent creating products, and much longer product life.


• FramesTravelchair steels and aluminums are a grade higher than what is on the market and a tick or two thicker than the average chair, resulting in stronger, longer lasting frames.


• FabricThe common thread throughout the Travelchair line is that each fabric is the ultimate in durability for its intended use. Take the 600 denier nylon, for example. Travelchair uses a double layer instead of a single layer like discounted store chairs. The ballistic nylon and polyester meshes have been put through rigorous product testing in the Desert Southwest, in Chilean Patagonia, and in the Travelchair warehouse in Gig Harbor, Washington.


• DetailsTravelchair finishes products with details such as bar tacking, doubling of fabrics, and reinforcement fabrics made of seat belt material because they believe the bottom line is superior design.
