Product Information

The Ultra Lite chair was really comfortable with a "bucket" style seat which allows you to push right back into the chair and it's ergonomic design ensures that your back has the support required. We put the chair and the stool through our rigorous testing criteria to evaluate their overall performance and functionality, design and construction, our own user experience and value for money and overall, both the OEX Camp Chair and Stool performed well on all 4 benchmarks giving them a 4 out of 5 fireside rating. On a few occasions, I’ve got the middle frame tube twisted and after inserting all the tubes, I realized that the two sides of the chair face in opposite directions (i.

The cut of the bucket cradles the lower back, providing decent back support, although not as good as the Nemo (see below). They can easily fit into your backpack without weighing you down, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable seat wherever you go.

So let's take a closer look and discover why they will become a firm favourite on your camping gear essentials list!

All i need to do now is to find same quality like this to replace the rest of my kit and ill be sorted. I use it all the time in the garden, camping, diy (I like to sit and do jobs lol) and even take it on my backpack mountain biking. One clever extra is the "sink mat" which not only protects your tent floor but also gives you an extra grip on uneven ground adding to the stability of the chair. Also, the relatively wide and shallow sling doesn’t provide much support to the lower back and, as such, may be uncomfortable for some users. All of this is accomplished with minimal weight so the end products are ultra-lightweight, compact and functional.This creates a true hammock effect versus a shallow bucket or bowl feeling, as the fabric doesn’t ride up on the sides of the thighs or hips at all.

Nemo’s Moonlite Reclining Chair takes lightweight camping gear to a new level of extravagance with this unique design. Though quite similar overall, each chair has unique characteristics that affect its overall comfort, stability, weight, and packed size. I personally find myself not using the “fully reclined” mode very often, as I prefer a more upright seat—about two-thirds of the way to fully upright is my ideal spot. It’s also important that if a foot gets stuck in the dirt, you must check that the joints are properly seated if you move the chair.but also my 2-year-old daughter took a liking to it because she could easily get in and out of it without it tipping over.

The cut of the hammock and the pole design also create a deeper seat than is found in most other models, which makes the user feel supported and unlike they will slip out of the chair. Fully mesh made me a little nervous at first, as I wondered if it would be strong enough or prone to snagging, but after four months of regular use, I’ve found that my worries were unwarranted. LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT - This chair from OEX is incredibly lightweight and super compact and makes an excellent addition to your expedition pack. The OEX Ultra Lite Camping Chair has a tiny pack size and boasts a unique 'Stability Mat' that attaches to the base to stop the legs sinking into soft ground or sand. In this in-depth test roundup, we dig into the benefits and rationale behind including ultralight camp chairs in our otherwise efficient pack lists.For taller individuals, the sides may sit far enough down on one’s slides to not cause irritation at any degree of recline. We’ve had the Alite Monarch since 2012, and it went on a multi-month trip through Mexico and Central America; it also has fewer breakable parts. They don't tell you that you have to unhook the front spars to get the bag on; the spars point outwards and the loops on the bag fit the narrowest part.
