Think for a minute; you like to play golf, hunt, fish and you would also like to sit down for a while. You go to concerts, wait in ticket queues, go for a long walk, go camping and would also like to sit down for a while. You travel, or feel the effects of an injury that hasn’t healed, you carry out service work at other workplaces and would like to sit down for a while.

A bit too tall really which was quite a surprise as I’m 6’3″ but I guess that’s my fault!
This is an excellent bit of kit if you need to sit down occasionally when needs demand. It is very light yet takes my old 6’5″, 19st frame with no problem. Expensive but I couldn’t find anything else that was up to the job.
It is very easily erected, sturdy and comfortable. I might play in one spot for up to two hours, and I’m in my mid 60s, but I’ve never felt sore or uncomfortable yet. Size wise, I am 5′ 10″, about 10 and half stone, and I find the 45 cm height one perfect.
It comes in a mesh bag and can be slung over your back, and have Walkstool will busk … !
Be sure to get the Comfort model in whatever height you buy, for these are still made in Sweden (basic models made in China now), and the quality, strength and durability are obvious. Ok, it’s a pricier option but they are so worth it.
After I had knee surgery, I found that I could not stand for long periods of time at first. However, I wanted to get back into all of my activities. So, I found this stool on Amazon. I LOVE IT! I attend festivals, outdoor concerts, pop culture conventions like Dragon Con in Atlanta, etc. Lots of places where there usually isn’t a place to sit, or chairs/seating are a premium. This is perfect. It’s fairly lightweight. I carry it over my shoulder. Takes up very little room. Has collapsible legs that fold up like a tripod and fits into it’s own little carry bag. Very much like the fold up bag camp chairs. I got the 26 inch in height. Because I did not want to have to squat down to sit (knee surgery). The seat is almost like a bicycle seat. You “straddle” it. Make sure you try the stool out first – sitting down, getting up, etc. It’s not like a chair. It’s a stool. But for a portable seat when you need one – you can’t beat it!
Meine Bewertung:
+ Hohe Sitzposition, 65 cm (niedriger und kleiner werdend).
+ Zum Transport ist er klein zusammenfaltbar.
+ Augenscheinlich gute Qualitt.
0 Lt nur 2 Sitzhhen zu, bei “nicht ausgezogen” ist er kippelig und sehr niedrig. Ich habe schon berlegt Zusatzlcher zu bohren. Das wrde aber zu Lasten der Haltbarkeit gehen.
0 Die wirkliche Sitzhhe liegt unter 60 cm, was mich aber nicht weiter strt.
0 Das Gewicht von knapp 1 kg ist nicht besonders leicht und kommt ja zu meinem anderen weit zu tragenden 6 kg Gepck noch dazu, ist aber wohl der Stabilitt geschuldet.
– Mit der Zeit sinkt man immer weiter runter und man mu den Stuhl gelegentlich wieder voll auffchern, sonst klemmt man sich “was” ab…
– Das Sitzgewebe ist kalt und ich habe eine extra Auflage gebraucht.
– Der Preis (86,59) ist schon happig.
I love these stools. They are comfortable, and easy to carry. When I have it, I can hike a distance, stop and rest when need be, without having to sit on the ground and struggle to get up. This is my third; each of them has had unexpected wear and tear, though I take care of things really well. Before, when I contacted the company about it, with another size, the owner wanted photos, which I supplied, and then he just disappeared. I thought he might make an adjustment, but he didn’t. I don’t use these more than an hour or so a week at best. This one, one of the legs became detached without warning, while I was carrying it. I am sure glad it didn’t happen while I was sitting on it! Warning: the simple, less expensive one is manufactured in China. I don’t think this model is, but it is still not very durable.
Wir haben sowohl Walkstool Comfort und Basis gekauft und beide miteinander verglichen!
Der Basis ist beim lngeren Sitzen unbequem, der Sitzbezug ist etwas kleiner und aus einem hrteren Stoff! Die Teleskopbeine sind komplett schwarz. Die Fsse sind im Durchmesser kleiner und im Gelnde weniger stabil! Auch fehlt hier eine Tragetasche!
Der Walkstool Comfort ist teurer im Preis! Wir haben von der Gre die kleinere Version! Man sitzt auf dem Comfort wesentlich angenehmer aber bei langen ansitzen wird auch dieser unbequem! Die Sitzflche ist minimal grer als beim Basis! Die Sitzflche ist netzartig. Die Teleskopbeine sind silbern und die Plastikfsse etwas breiter! Hier ist eine praktische Tragetasche vorhanden! Was mich am Comfort etwas strt, ist das er jedes mal ein Knarrgerusch von sich gibt wenn ich much drauf setze! Das macht der Basis nicht!
Auf dem Bild ist links der Comfort und rechts der Basis zu sehen!
Ich finde den Comfort praktischer und wesentlich komfortabler beim Sitzen!
Wir haben den 45er und 55er, Einsatzzweck bei uns ist, der Aufenthalt im Wald. Wir waren uns schon sofort sicher das er cool ist, gleich beim ersten mal hinsetzen auf Waldbodenuntergrund. Das Packma und Gewicht sind wunderbar. Durch das System der Stizflch knnte es allerdings, bei einem hheren Stuhl, beim Mann, “ungemtlich” werden, da Mann wie in einem Sattel sitzt 😉 Er ist in krzester Zeit auf- oder abgebaut und verpackt. Wir haben ihn/sie ganz neu und deshalb knnen wir noch nichts ber Haltbarkeit etc. berichten. Ich werde aber, wenn sich was ergeben sollte, es hier dazuschreiben. Die Verarbeitung scheint Top zu sein. Alles sehr stimmig. Durch den ungleichen Boden im Wald habe ich sofort jede Menge komfortable Sitzpositzionen gefunden und meine Frau auch. Diese Verstrkung zum darauf stellen, ist bis dato bei uns gar nicht notwenig. Fr uns ist der Kauf dieser Hocker gleich eine Punktlandung gewesen. LG Gerry
Fr alle die schon einen 15 Euro Hocker vom Hofer, Lidl, Forstiger oder anderen Herstellern verwendet haben, machen bei dem Hocker nichts falsch. Klar ist der Preis etwas hoch, aber ich habe schon genug andere Billig-Hocker geschrottet und somit ist sptestens nach dem 5ten der Preis gerechtfertigt.
Die Sitzhhe von 55cm ist mehr als genug, auch der 45 und 50cm hohe, reichen vollkommen und entsprechen der tatschlich Sitzhhe, also in etwa der eines normalen Sessels.
Ich verwende den Hocker beim Campen, Grillen und hnlichem in der freien Natur, am Strand, oder im Wald… Durch die unebenen Bden oder Steine/Sand am Strand steht der Hocker trotzdem sehr stabil und bricht nicht wie andere in der Mitte. Der Stoff ist sehr hochwertig und drfte fr ein langes Leben gebaut sein. Die Standfsse haben groe Gummiabschlsse und die Sitzqualitt ist viel besser als die der Billigprodukte!!!
Auch das Packma lsst sich bei diesem durch einfahren der Beine halbieren und somit viel kleiner zusammenlegen als die Konkurenten.
Absolute Kaufempfehlung von mir wenn jemand einen stabilen 3 Bein Hocker sucht!
1) The stool is not lightweight when you already carry a heavy load. I would prefer half a s heavier with half the weight limit, but I didn’t see such one offered with good reviews.
2) If the carrying bag is not used (and I would prefer just to attach the stool to my backpack), then the bottom legs can slide out by gravity – they can’t be fixed in place (like a tripod leg), to my surprise. I can wrap the legs in velcro to prevent sliding, but at this price I would expect that the legs are not loose!
Diesen 55er nehme ich, wenn wir auf Feste gehen, wo berwiegend gestanden wird. Weil ich damit eben eine hhere Position habe und nicht alle auf mich runterschauen mssen!
Und er ist mega stabil. Fhle mich endlich mal sicher! 100% Kaufempfehlung.
In der mitgelieferten Tasche kann man ihn bequem ber die Schulter oder so wie einen Rucksack tragen. Er ist in sekundenschnelle und kinderleicht aufgebaut. Man sitzt bequem. Jetzt sind Spaziergnge kein Problem mehr.
Einfach mal einige Minuten hinsetzen, Rcken entkrampft sich wieder und es kann weiter gehen.
Kann nur zu diesem Produkt raten, ist sein Geld wirklich wert.
Aufgrund der Teleskopbeine auch gut mitzufhren auf Wanderung oder beim Motorradausflug fr die Rast zwischendurch.
Klare Kaufempfehlung, wenn er noch lange durchhlt. Bis jetzt noch nicht so oft benutzt, aber er macht einen guten Eindruck und es sieht so aus, dass ich noch viel Freude an ihm haben werde. Ich hoffe, ich kann damit etwas weiterhelfen.
had one for over 10 years, which finally gave up the ghost and collapsed, so immediately bought this one. Great stool and the perfect height for sports photography
It’s of excellent quality (hence its somewhat high price), and it seems incredibly sturdy. It’s sufficiently stable and comfortable. The red tabs that pop out to hold the legs in place when extended seem solid, not at all like they could collapse, as one reviewer mentioned.
Cons:
Contrary to questioning the red tabs’ holding capability, I find it challenging to push the tabs in enough that I can retract the legs. And, although the product description says you can use it without the legs extended, I don’t understand how that would work because when retracted, the legs end where they cross…so wouldn’t the stool just fall right over? 🙂 (I decided not to test this.)
Other comments:
Perhaps it’s a shame that instead of offering various stools of different heights, the manufacturer didn’t create just one model with various height settings. Of course, any difficulty pushing the red tabs in could then come into play multiple times, both when extending and when retracting the legs!
I’m 5’3” and kind of wish I’d chosen the lowest stool (the 45 cm) instead of the 55 cm. For short periods, I’d prefer the higher one, but for longer periods the shorter one.
I got this for resting on hikes and for attending rallies or protests. But mostly I got it for waiting in lines…like the one for DMV services at my local AAA office (where instead of using a take-a-number-and-be-seated or page/mobile notification approach, they torture their customers by making them stand in a roped wait-line, even though it takes an average of 10 minutes to serve each customer and the line is typically at least 10 people long…my rant for the day).
Darei una stella per l’ imballo pessimo esageratamente grande e semi aperto! Fortunatamente questo sgabello robusto e non ha subito danni. Lo utilizzo per caccia fotografica, ho preso la versione da 55 e non da 45cm perch costa meno, pi alto ed ha la seduta grande. Dato che le gambe hanno un buon spessore di materiale far altre forature per averlo da 50 ,45 e 40cm. Bisogna per modificare anche il perno che ne ferma la posizione ma non un problema, basta anche una vite a brugola da 6mm piegata perche non esca. Non comodissimo per starci seduto qualche ora ma con un piccolo cuscino si ovvia al problema. Essendo grande la seduta, si sprofonda di circa 4cm. Il prezzo esagerato ma il prodotto robusto pesa poco e si trasporta facilmente anche per le dimensioni ridotte da chiuso.
High quality, lightweight, comfortable stools ideal for everyday use. These stools are built to a very high quality out of aircraft grade aluminium so are lovely and light to carry, yet incredibly robust and strong. I love this product so much I bought a second for my wife.
Ich suchte ein Dreibein fr’s Wandern, Jagd und Angeln.
Nachdem ich div. billigere Modelle von anderen Herstellern ausprobiert habe, hatte ich die Nase voll.
Einmal tief in die Tasche gegriffen und den Walkstool bestellt. Es ist sicherlich eine hohe Ausgabe fr so ein Produkt, die Qualitt erklrt dann aber im Nachhinein den Preis.
Der Hocker ist flexibel, auch auf unebenem Gelnde, aufstellbar, schnell zusammengeklappt und in der mitgelieferten Netztasche gut mitzufhren.
Das Gewicht ist klasse und der Hocker ist bequem. Ich bin 180 cm gro und wiege 80 Kg. Achtet beim Kauf auf die Gre.
Ansonsten klare Kaufempfehlung mit sehr guter Verarbeitung und Qualitt zum nicht ganz kleinem Preis.
An absolute Godsend for my wife when we go on our weekend walks. Very light and compact…but sturdy too…highly recommended.
Like many artists, I’m also a gadget-junky, intrigued by the newest, latest, niftiest, coolest brushes and watercolor papers and whatever. Bottom line is I’ve made plenty of purchases of things to enhance my art-making experience. Some things have been worth the money and others get used once or twice, sit on a shelf and eventually get given away to one of my students. Ugh. It totally happens. I’m happy to say that this stool has been one of the best useful tools I’ve purchased. First off, it’s compact and fits in a shoulder bag or small backpack. I work on location a lot, and finding a comfortable place to sit while I’m sketching or painting can be a challenge. Boulders – if they’re present at all – are irregular and (literally!) a pain in the butt. Secondly, this design is remarkably stable. The only two occasions I’ve found it not to work well have been (1) on soft soil – the tripod legs will sink into the ground when weight is placed on the seat, and (2) on uneven ground – because the legs are not adjustable (like a camera tripod), the lengths are constant. That means uneven ground (think: the bank next to a stream) places the seat on an angle, pitching the user forward, sideways, or backwards. I couldn’t make things work in those situations. The construction is excellent, it folds and stows easily, and although the various models may seem pricey I feel like it will be durable enough to last. Meanwhile, I’ve had other, cheaper products that buckled after only a few uses.
I’m 6’2″ and 200 pounds with what I would describe as normal proportions – my legs aren’t unusually long or short. I purchased the 18 inch model and it is just about a perfect fit for me.
Avevo acquistato lo scabello da cm, ma era troppo basso e la seduta era ok, si tirava la stoffa, ora ho il 75 cm nulla da dire, ma la seduta non ottima come il 65, quando mi siedo forma come una buca e poi a me da fastidio perche’ mi disturba il mio menbro, non so se anche a voi succede oppure un diffetto del seggiolino, in ogni caso mi siedo e forma sta buca e vado a toccare sulla parte rigida , preticamente sembra di sedermi in una sella di cavallo ora allego delle foto la prima da aperto la seconda mi sono seduto e rialzato e come vedere si infossato e poi un paio da seduto .. il mio peso di 103kg , e mi sento pure il fastidio dove son ci sono le le cuciture esterne troppo dure, ma non lo so, l’altro era un altra cosa ,, grazie x i vostri commenti
Fr meine 1.87m ist diese Sitzhhe vollkommen ausreichend. (etwa gleich wei ein durchschnittlicher Stuhl)
Die verringerte Sitzhhe mit eingefahrenen Fen finde ich toll um z.B. am Lagerfeuer zu grillen oder an einem niedrigen
Camping-Tisch zu essen. Man muss halt balancieren aber das geht leicht und man muss klarerweise beim Aufstehen den Sitz festhalten.
Auch das “Gemcht” hat noch Platz sofern man keine ungnstige, enge Hose trgt. 😉
Im ausgefahrenen Zustand sitzt man wirklich sehr bequem und aufrecht. (fr einen Hocker – nicht mit der Couch vergleichen ! :-))
Das Verhltnis Packma und Komfort ist hier echt top.
Der Stoff macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck und ist super durchlftet. Er faltet sich auch beim zusammenlegen willig ein und man erhlt
ohne Mhe schnell ein sauberes Paket zum Transport welches mit dem angearbeiteten Klettband fixiert wird.
Die roten Rasten zur Fixierung, bestehend aus einem Kunststoffteil mit Federeffekt machen zwar im Gegensatz zum ganzen Rest keinen soliden Eindruck aber das wird sich im Dauertest zeigen. Ich denke sie werden schon halten. (ggf. Nachtrag)
Der Preis ist zwar im Vergleich sehr hoch aber ich bin froh dieses Modell gekauft zu haben und freue mich richtig auf den Einsatz.
Volle Empfehlung!
Sollte ihnen dies geholfen haben, bitte unten klicken! Dankeschn!
Er ist recht leicht und schn klein, das heit, ich kann ihn berall mit hinnehmen und mich ausruhen oder einfach nur hinsetzen und mir die Gegend oder was auch immer anschauen.. Zudem -und das ist DAS Wichtigste- er ist vertrauenseinflssend stabil und schn gro von der Sitzflche her. Ich habe den Walkstool ausgepackt, die Teleskopbeine ausgezogen und mich vorsichtig drauf gesetzt. Danach wieder aufgestanden und mich ein wenig drauf plumpsen lassen. Alles gut; suuuper stabil, steht wie ne Eins auf geradem Untergrund und wie gesagt: Ich habe vertrauen zu dem Teil und er ist fr ein Dreibein wirklich richtig bequem. Tolles Teil und JA ich wrde ihn trotz des stolzen Preises wieder kaufen und jedem der eine Ausruh-Gelegenheit zum mitnehmen sucht die wirklich stabil ist EMPFEHLEN.
I’ve been blessed to go to San Diego Comic-Con the last several years by volunteering and have tried numerous portable seat products. First tried a rolling cart with a seat attached; ok but needed more strength. Then a portable short mesh chair with a carrying bag; did the job but was a bit heavy and cumbersome. This stool is the best one by far. It has it’s own carrying bag, fits in my backpack, and is extremely lightweight.
Wanted a seat that would hold my weight and a heavy backpack. I believe this can hold a max 400lb but the suggested weight is around 350lb. They probably want to be sure people don’t over weight it.
The price seemed a bit high compared to other stools but then I realized the combined cost of the 2 previous chairs equaled the cost of this one. Also, getting a well made chair that should last a long time and can handle my weight was of utmost importance. I wanted to avoid being flat on the ground after breaking a chair in front of so many people.
Having never used a 3-legged stool before, besides holding my weight the second biggest concerned was stability. After a few tries the easiest method was to position one foot against the bottom of a leg and then sit down. Was that a necessary step? Probably not, but it made me feel more confident that the stool wouldn’t inadvertently slip out from under me or fold itself up as I set down. After doing this a few times I was popping up and down from that stool like a jack-in-the-box.
One drawback, which isn’t a real con, the polls dig in your flesh just a little. I’m going to find a little padding to put on those points of contact and see what that does. After I set for a while I stopped noticing it as much so it may not be a real issue.
I’m not only in love with this thing, I’m taking it to work to show a fellow Comic-Con’er. Those long convention lines have met their match.
I am 5’4″ and 175 lbs and got the 26″ which is tall, but makes it easy for me to get up. It’s well made. I do feel like the seat is solid and not going to rip out. If I sit on it properly on a flat surface, it’s reasonably stable. Though it’s an XXL seat, it’s not really that big, or comfortable. Though it’s rated for something like 400 pounds, I don’t think anyone who is really obese could sit on it comfortably because the seat just isn’t that big and the leg posts would poke your rear! To be stable, you must sit straddling a corner of the the tri-corner seat. That isn’t super comfortable for me (a woman), I think it would be agonizing for a man. If you don’t straddle a corner leg post, you will be supported in the back by only 1 leg, which is very tippy. Price-wise, I don’t see why it would cost them $40 more to insert the different leg bottoms for larger sizes. But I think once I get over sticker shock, I’ll be happy I got it.
I bought this walkstool because I sprained a ligament in my right knee pulling my grandchildren up a hill on a sled. It was mostly healed by the time we went on a long awaited cruise in March. I had read reviews that check-in would be slow at the Miami port. I knew I could not stand forever, so I bought this walkstool and took it along. I took it out and sat comfortably for about 40 minutes before the line moved. On the cruise, waiting on the pier, I sat for about 30 minutes before the operator arrived. I carried it with me at debarkation, but found a park bench nearby to sit on in the shade, instead, waiting for the transportation we booked to show up. My knee has recovered by now, but I think I will always take it with me if there is any question of whether I would have to stand for a long time. It was easy to set up and collapse and handy to carry. The bag you carry it in has a shoulder strap.
Habe den Hocker gekauft, um ihn beim Spazierengehen als “Notsitz” dabei zu haben, wenn mein Vater Probleme beim Gehen hat und keine Sitzbank weit und breit zu finden ist. Durch die praktische Hlle kann ich den wirklich leichten Hocker immer mitnehmen und ihn ber eine Schulter hngen, oder sogar die beiden Riemen wie bei einem Rucksack benutzen.
Man sitzt so gut auf dem Hocker, dass ich ihn manchmal daheim als Sitz am Schreibtisch benutze (zur Abwechslung). Auch ltere Menschen wie mein Vater sitzen stabil und sicher auf diesem Stuhl. Wichtig ist, vor allem bei lteren Leuten, den Stuhl in der richtigen Hhe zu bestellen, dann
klappt auch das Aufstehen vom Hocker (ist ja bei lteren oft ein Problem vom Stuhl auf zu stehen).
Ich selber bin Camping-Fan, aber so ein stabiler Hocker ist mir noch nicht begegnet. Da lohnt sich der Preis, wenn mann Stabilitt braucht!
Groes Lob an den Hersteller und seinen Produkt-Designer ***
For me, it has been just what I wanted, very comfortable to sit on, I like it. But…be aware it is tall! I wanted a taller stool, not a chair, I wanted to be up tall where it would be easy to stand and move if necessary.( not sitting back, scrunched down in something ,where it is tougher to get out, or stand?). This 75cm stool is just what I hoped for when I made my purchase, and it has been great, It seems to easily hold my 300lbs, and feels very secure/sturdy, But… I am 6′ 3″ and I am still up on my toes a bit as I prepare to sit on it. That said, I am very pleased with this purchase, it is just what I wanted, and I believe it will last me for years and years to come?
A bit pricey but you don’t have other options brilliant like this one. Got it for my dad and it was very handy. Although i next i will get the 65cm one
Der mobile Hocker mit Comfort und einer vernnftigen Sitzhhe. Der billig Kram ist mir immer zu niedrig gewesen, somit habe ich mich fr Walkstool Hocker entscheiden. Leicht und eine Sitzflche dies es verdient auch so Bezeichnet zu werden. Das Sitzen macht nun auch fr lnger Abende beim Camping oder Konzerten freude. Damit es von unten nicht zieht, lege ich mir immer ein Zuschnitt von einem Lammfell auf die Sitzflche, dies ist angenehmer als ein Kissen. Der Walkstool lsst sich auch sehr leicht auf deine andere Sitzhhe anpassen, hierzu schneidet man einfach die Standfe etwas ab und steckt die Standstopfen wieder hinein. Leider ist die Einschnappfeder nur aus Plastik und das versagen ist schon abzusehen. Hier hat Walkstool an der falschen Sache gespart .
Met a charming gentleman called Thomas in Death Valley sitting on one of these, Thomas by his own admission is not a small man, his Walkstool was around 10 years old, the only thing he replaced was the rubber pad at the base of one of the legs.
Good product.
Questo s che uno sgabello a tre gambe serio e ben fatto!
La portata di 200 kg, il sedile XL quindi mi sento comoda anch’io che sono molto ingombrante.
Quando chiuso si inserisce nella sua fodera che si pu portare a tracolla, ed superleggero quindi si pu veramente portare ovunque senza ingombro e senza fatica.
Leggero e robusto al tempo stesso, sembrava impossibile!
Prodotto veramente ben fatto e molto sicuro! Vale tutto il suo prezzo.
Sar il mio fedele compagno di viaggio per i miei spostamenti in treno. Mai pi in piedi!
Ho deciso di restituirlo subito con il modello XL comfort 45, decisamente pi adatto alle mie esigenze.
Rispetto a tutti gli altri sgabelli tre-gambe in commercio questo decisamente un prodotto di qualit altissima, e vale tutto il suo prezzo.
It is true what they say, you get what you pay for. Even though you could buy a cheaper stool It would not be as sturdy as this is! I am a big guy (290#) and I do NOT always trust that what I sit on is going to hold me. That being said, this stool is very sturdy and I have no reservations about putting all my weight on it.
The frame is solid and the material on top appears to be very strong. The carry pouch is nice, although it would be nice if they had some sort of pad for the string, that you sling over your shoulder, when carrying it.
I have bad knees and needed something that was higher to make it easier to get up. With a 33″ inseam this 26″ stool works perfectly. I use it in my garage while working on cars and when folded up it fits nicely into the saddlebags on my motorcycle.
Great product for anyone that has disabilities. Light enough to carry easily, but very sturdy even on uneven surfaces. It’s a 10!
Light, sturdy and comfortable to use. An excellent piece of kit.
Worth the price… It is so light , so easy to put up and so comfortable.
I just received my 26″ Walkstool Comfort. The carrying bag and collapsibility will make it simple to carry either over the shoulder or attached to a backpack. I personally wouldn’t want it clipped to a belt – too hard to walk and awkward. It’s neither super-light nor heavy; it’s as heavy as it needs to be for a quality-built product. Definitely not too heavy to carry along if you’re used to carrying a purse/bag with everything but the kitchen sink in it. It was pretty self-evident how to take it out of the bag, pull out the seat, and release & extend the legs – a no-brainer. And wonder of wonders – it easily fit right back into the bag with no issues and no struggling, so in and out will not be a hassle. The seat is plenty large – my plus-sized butt was quite comfortable and the seat feels rock-steady. As for the 26″ height – I’m 5’7″ and if they made a 24″ that might have been better for me, but since they don’t I’m fine with very slightly taller than necessary. Maybe one day they might consider making one that could be adjustable by 2″ to fine tune for height. The 22″ might have worked for me, but since I have knee, back, ankle and hip issues, I wanted one of regular height as much as possible so it’s not an effort to stand up again. I think this will be brilliant. I can actually hike now!
A great feature of this stool is being able to use it as a pivot stool. Just don’t extend the legs and deploy it with the legs forming a point. Great when you need to be able to pivot around or sit closer to the ground.
I loved the original and know I will love this one even more.
I’m a hunter and haven’t tried this in the field yet, but I have tried it out around my place. 4-stars because of the steep price and it doesn’t come in camo. I am 5’11” and bought the 18″ comfort (silver extended legs), and I wouldn’t go with anything longer (14″ would even be good if they made it). In the fully extended position the seat is more comfortable than I would have guessed, given that it is triangular and no matter how it is positioned will cause some guy discomfort after long enough. I like the recessed leg position where you butt is about 9″ off the ground and you can swivel left or right, and will easily have a knee in position for 3-point stability when aiming (see the walkstool demo on their website). The extended position is the most comfortable seating and if you carry a bipod shooting stick you will still have plenty of aiming stability, plus you are elevated enough to glass your surroundings. The less than 2 lbs of weight is not a concern even for my older self, since I typically only walk 3-5 miles in a day while hunting and the compact stool attaches easily to my day pack. No more searching for that well positioned and comfortable rock or fallen tree (no such thing?), or sitting on the damp ground and thorny weeds which are always felt before seen.
Well made, light, and sturdy stool. Probably would not stand up to really heavy usage but being made of alloy the weight advantage makes up for that. Very pleased. Also it comes with its own carry pouch.
Bought for my son-in-law as he is 20stone and the ordinary stools won’t support him properly. He was very pleased with it and it arrived very qucikly but, apparently, the stitching is now coming apart. I hope it doesn’t spread further. I am not sure how to complain about this.
An excellent product. Sturdy as hell (I am large and tall, weigh 200kg), light and easy to retract. A life saver for long walks, events and the like.
Very comfortable! Easy to assemble and light to carry. Bought for my parents in law when we have days out, or when shopping – perfect.
Yes, the Walkstool seems pricey, but what you get is a well constructed, durable, compfy stool that justifies the price – and it includes a handy carry bag. With the fold up legs it’s a great height (varying heights in the range available) and the seated area appears larger than previous ones I’ve tried which makes for easier sitting / perching and it’s stable & compfy if seated for long periods.
I’ve previously spent between 5 to 15 on fold-up stools, but have found the feet have snapped, cracked and fallen off, Or the seat area is thin, uncompfy or worse you feel the leg poles poking in your bum, or be compact other stools have been too low to the ground.
I’ve used this stool to sit on and bbq, watch sport in a field, and even grabbed it out the back the car when there were no chairs left in a pub garden 🙂
Does what it says on the box very useful and comfy light to carry
Great size for back-packing / photography in the great outdoors; I found it sufficiently comfortable (although if you’re packing the calories around your @rse you might find it a bit of a pinch). Quick delivery. What’s not to like?
Second one of these I have had, lost the first. Very light and easy to carry, no issues with it.
Small and easy to carry yet full height when in use and solid as a rock under my more than ample backside.
Expensive but you get what you pay for.
I bought this stool because it advertised that it can support a lot of weight, if I remember correctly the product website stated something like 440 or 540 pounds. I am a bigger than average guy who is 6′ and closer to 300 pounds for weight so I need something well built and stable. I also work with the military so I needed something small, easy to transport, light, durable.
I am so delighted with the Walkstool that I am actually thinking about buying a second one! I have only used it a few times, but it is comfortable, sturdy, well built and the telescoping legs makes it very compact. It is light and easy to carry, store and transport as well. This might be the best product that I have purchased in a very long time.
If I had to change one thing, it might be the carrying case. The case is a half mesh nylon material with a long draw string cord that can be used for over the shoulder carrying. It is well made, but I think that I would prefer a solid bag and not mesh. But I can’t stress enough how please I am with the stool itself.
This is a great little stool. I bring it to cons with long lines and waits. Speaking of weight, it can hold me up and with me and my backpack i’m pushing 300 and it held up fine. It’s a definite upgrade from my last one. The legs collapse and the feet are on real good. I just wish the legs locked in the collapsed position not just the open position. I McGuivered it to quickly attach and detach from my backpack but had to have it legs face up so the legs wouldn’t slide out due to gravity. It comes with a little carry bag but the Velcro used to keep it tight can snag on the mesh bag so I didn’t end up using it. They should have made the carry bag a solid material like a tent bag or something that wouldn’t snag on Velcro.
Der Stuhl ist leicht, einfach aufzustellen, hervorragend verarbeitet – kurz gesagt: alles super. Einen besseren Campinghocker gibt es momentan einfach nicht. Der Walkstool ist auch sehr bequem und das sage ich als Mann mit einem Gewicht von 130kg, ich habe also einen riesen Hintern, sitze auf dem Ding aber trotzdem bequem. Ich bin knapp 1,80m gro, der kleinste Walkstool ist fr mich von der hhe her genau richtig, ein hherer wre unangenehm weil meine Fsse in der Luft baumeln wrden.
Excellent and light, a well constructed item but you get what you pay for as it is quite costly against alternatives, although I have even confidence this will outlast all of the competition.
The Walkstool sets up quickly and feels solid. I think it will last.
One lesson: When I extended one leg in fast motion, it unattached itself. There are two push down buttons that lock into a hole, but a quick yank may cause the buttons to bypass the hole. It was easy enough to reattach.
I bought the 18″ stool because, as has been pointed out, that’s the height of a dining room chair. I’m 5′ 8″ and the stool feels just a little too low for me. I wish I had ordered the next size up, but can live with the 18″
It’s very light and when folded it’s small enough to attach to backpack. It comes with a case, but the carrying strap is really just a string. Wish there was more to it but it’s enough.
Walkstool Comfort 45 L
Took a while to arrive but the stool is fantastic.
1) er dank gutem Gewicht und der Teleskopbeine wirklich leicht mitgenommen
2) und aufgestellt werden kann
3) seine Outdoor-Eignung hoch ist, er dank seiner drei stabilen Beine sehr gut auch auf unebenen Untergrnden genutzt werden kann
4) die Tragkraft aller Versionen (hier 200 kg) deutlich hher ist als bei vergleichbaren Hockern
Genutzt wird er von uns auf lngeren Spaziergngen, Wanderungen und Tagesausflgen, wenn einer von uns eine kurze Pause braucht, aber keine Sitzgelegenheit in der Nhe ist. Er ist aber auch fr Senioren geeignet, die beim Einkaufen im Supermarkt wieder einmal feststellen mssen, dass sich Bnke noch nicht durchgesetzt haben.
Anfangs hatte ich die gnstigere Basic-Variante, die aber sehr viele negative Eigenschaften mitbrachte. So waren die Beine nicht allzu gut verarbeitet (China-Qualitt eben) und die Sitzhhe von 60 cm vllig ungeeignet fr meine 1,62 m.
Diese habe ich schnell zurckgeschickt und mich entschieden, die knapp 30 Euro teurere, aber deutlich hherwertige, Comfort-Version zu kaufen.
Deren Vorteile sind, dass
* Comfort in Schweden gearbeitet wird, was sich am verwendeten Material und der extrem guten Qualitt bemerkbar macht
* sich die Beine viel einfacher ausfahren lassen
* die Beine deutlich stabiler stehen, da sie standhafter gearbeitet wurden
* das Gewicht trotz der geringeren Gre niedriger ist, sodass er noch besser transportiert werden kann
* eine Tasche mit Schultergurt zum noch einfacheren Transport beiliegt
* und es drei verschiedene Gren gibt, sodass der Walkstool auf seinen Nutzer angepasst werden kann. Ich habe mich fr 45 cm Hhe entschieden, fr mich die perfekte Sitzflche. Auch mein 1,83 m groer Mann sitzt sehr gut auf dem Walkstool, wrde fr sich selbst aber eine andere Gre whlen, um bequem zu sitzen.
Ich finde den Walkstool eine praktische Alltagshilfe, um nicht lnger stehen zu mssen, und empfehle ihn gerne auch jngeren Outdoorfans.
Not cheap,but very light and comfortable for me, and easy to carry.Take it with me birdwatching if i am going to be standing about.Cannot do without it now.
Great Stool that fits in my motorbike pannier perfectly, Stable and just the right height for me (6’2″)
I use this as a portable cello chair. I bought it for cello mountaineering (yeah, it’s a thing (sort of)). Actually, this stool was a little too short for me, and the next size up was a little too tall. So I use the Walkstool Comfort 55/22 (this one) with legs from the 65/26 (the next size up), which gave me the custom 60cm/24in height that I was looking for. The legs are available separately on Walkstool’s website (the 3 legs cost $20 shipped; the new ones came with red plastic buttons and I re-used the feet, which come off with a strong tug, so all you need to order is the legs).
I opted for the smaller seat and longer legs, rather than vice versa, for better stability. I tried both ways, and the difference is quite pronounced.
I tried the Walkstool Steady, which is a strap that loops over the three feet to add stability and floatation in soft surfaces. With my custom-height mix-and-match hack, the Steady doesn’t work well (you’d need to jump through some hoops to adjust the strap lengths). I weigh 76 kg, so I don’t worry about breaking the legs of the stool if they’re unsupported. But heavier people may want to use caution if sitting vigorously.
Does have the ability to hold a person of great weight ! (Rated up to 440 lbs) It wiggles & jiggles a little, but pretty sturdy. The easy tote case that comes with it appears well made & reliable. You will know you are carrying the item, but it’s pretty darn lightweight, especially considering the weight it can support !!
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because wrapping seat strap and closing legs to put away does take a little hand strength and button pushing that many may not be able to do easily, particularly if you have arthritic or hand coordination issues. I think it’s a big hit for a reason. I got the 45cm size, at 5 ft. Tall it’s a little high for my inseam ( or lack thereof), I would have preferred the hard to get 40cm model. Buy & enjoy going farther without fear or fatigue !!!
Abstriche muss ich leider auch machen. Hatte vorher den 55er und dann den 60er. Die kamen natrlich von der Hhe an den Banden hin. Wenn man allerdings Spiele im Jugendbereich macht (ohne Banden) finde ich die Sitzhhe zu hoch. Deshalb habe ich in diesem Fall auf “Melkschemel” – also mit eingefahrenen Fssen – eingestellt. Die tiefere Position ist fotografisch mehr zu empfehlen, vor allem bei Kindern. Da man sich beim Fussball auch ein wenig dreht, sind in dieser Einstellung 3 Hocker an der mittleren Befestigung gescheitet. Entweder brach das Plastik an der mittleren Befestigung aus oder dieses Metallteil, was die Beine zusammenhlt brach. Dafr gibt es natrlich keinen Ersatz (eigentlich schade bei diesem Preis). Deshalb habe ich mich jetzt fr die 45er Version entschieden, die bei ausgezogenen Beinen alles abdeckt. Also Vorsicht bei der Benutzung als Melkschemel……nicht empfehlenswert!!!!
When I came home after using the 65cm walkstool I opted for the 45cm size after measuring the standard chairs most Army units use. This chair comes in at around 18 inches, which is just right for standard chairs. It folds down to about 9-10 inches (the legs slide back inside), and is amazingly easy to stuff inside any sort of bag or backpack. It is small enough when folded that I can actually put it into my water bottle holders on the outside of my bags.
The chair is sturdy, with locking buttons that snap into place and ensure the chair does not collapse while in use. The canvas like mesh seat is wide enough to provide comfort without adding unnecessary surface area. That same mesh seat is almost bolted onto the legs, with heavy-duty layers keeping everything secure. There are wear resistant knobs holding the mesh down, which also ensures the chair does not catch onto anything when you sit.
I’ve gotten several compliments from many weary comrades, most not even realizing a chair like this existed. With space and durability always an issue for me, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and I appreciate all the reviewers who made this product out to be worth every penny. It certainly is!
If you are wary of the price, you just need to understand what you are buying is no flimsy Wal-Mart camping chair that will stretch and sag after multiple uses. This is a quality product you will never have to replace.
It appears to be well made so I can’t attest to it’s longevity but I expect to have it a long time. I find the seat comfortable for a stool and don’t mind the fact that there is no back. It’s easy to open and as long as you make sure it completely opens and hold onto one end while sitting, it provides a steady relief. I’m 6’7″ and find the height perfect making getting up very easy.
One thing that might be a nice addition is one or two additional holes to allow for varying the height. Maybe the manufacturer will look into that.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
I am nearly 70, and I have some health problems that make hiking a little more difficult for me than for the average person. I go on hikes to photograph birds, and often I am tired, or have to be still in one place and wait for birds, and although I can sit on the ground, it’s not all that convenient, and I have to watch for things like stickers and ants. I really needed something like this and this has been perfect for me!
If you are an older person, don’t let that slow you down or keep you from getting the exercise you need. Really, I recommend you buy one of these. You will not regret it.
I have a lower back issues (slipped vertebrae and a herniated disk) that makes standing for more than about half an hour very uncomfortable. Sitting or squatting makes the pain go away but you can’t always find a place to sit and squatting is hard on the knees for more than a minute or two. This little stool is just the thing I needed.
It’s small (smaller than a loaf a bread when collapsed and folded), light (about as heavy as a loaf of bread, seriously!) and extends to a comfortable height. It’s comfortable enough to sit on and relatively stable (very stable on a hard surface but a little wobbly in soft dirt or on gravel). I use it for all kinds of purposes. I’ve taken it places I know I won’t find places to sit to relieve my pain. I use it out fishing to sit on as I put on and remove my waders. I’ve even used it around the house when I need to sit or get low to work on something or do some chore. With the legs collapsed, you can get pretty low and keep the strain off your knees instead of squatting or kneeling. It will hold a lot of weight so even bigger people can use it safely. The stuff sack has cords that can be used to sling this over your shoulder or wear it like a small backpack.
I love this thing and wish I’d found it a long time ago. It’s every bit as good as promised.
Much admired. Swedish engineering ! Quality product, bit on the heavy side but very comfortable. Much admired. Swedish engineering !
After deciding to buy a Walkstool Comfort, I had to decide on which size. The 45cm (Large, 18″) is the same height as a kitchen chair. The 55cm (XL, 22″) is the next one up and they get taller than that from there. I was also concerned about the minimum collapsed height since it will be packed in my motorcycle bags.
I am 6′ tall. I went with the 55cm stool and glad I did. Collapsed it is 15″ long and easily fits in the motorcycle’s bags. Also being a little taller, it is easy to sit down and stand up from the Walkstool Comfort 55cm (22″). The 45cm is 2″ more compact and if the 2″ is critical for packing get the 45cm. If you are several inches shorter than 6′ and its easy to get out of a kitchen chair without assist, get then consider the 45cm.
The Walkstool Comfort feels light in my hand when just walking around and holding it. I find several uses for it. Also the 55cm (22″) has a weight load capacity of 495 lbs. The 45cm has a load capacity of 440 lbs. I don’t think I will be testing the limits but it does feel very sturdy when sitting in it.
Bit pricey but worth the bit extra perfect for touch line seating. Tried cheaper seats but all ended in disaster light to carry have purchased a second one for the wife she loves it too.
Diese Gewichtsspanne macht dieser Hocker problemlos mit.
Er ist extrem handlich und leicht und in Windeseile aufgestellt. Ich nutze ihn beim Campen, Wandern, Fischen und bei Reparaturen.
Es sollte jedoch klar sein, da die Beine nicht stufenlos verstellbar sind.
Das heit, da man sich fr eine Sitzhhe entscheiden mu und diese sollte man sich vor der Bestellung entsprechend dem geplanten Eisatzzweck genau berlegen.
Natrlich ist dieser Hocker auch nicht dazu gedacht, stundenlang vllig entspannt “abzuchillen”.
Es ist halt ein WALKstool
Aber 1-2 Stndchen kann man es schon mal darauf aushalten.
Also, mir gefllt er sehr!
Everything says you can even sit on this stool with the legs fully collapsed. So I tried it when it arrived. I “thought” I was in the middle of the room well away from any other furniture. I sat down. It pitched me off. Right into the business end of an oak rocker. Not sure how many ribs I broke or cracked.
NOT the stools fault. Mine and mine alone. But if your balance is as poor as mine, extend the legs for balance. If your balance is good, you can probably sit on it just fine with the legs fully collapsed – LOL! (To be completely fair, I was on a carpeted floor with a really thick pad. If you were on concrete or something solid you might not have my problem.) I’ll say that again: Great stool, seems to be great construction, but extend the legs if you’re are a Klutz!
I’m keeping it though because, other then my stupidity, it works great, is light weight and is easy to carry along. If you want to stow it in a Maxpedition Mongo, go with the next size smaller and it’ll fit just fine. (Just for the record, I got the 55cm/22″ model.)
Edited to add: I’ve since had multiple opportunities to actually use this stool in the field. Despite my initial clumsiness, I’ve found it to be a remarkably stable stool to sit on. It’s light weight and small form factor make it a delight to carry around. Highly recommended.
I use a stool for shooting soccer. I use two cameras; one with a long lens on a monopod and the other (with a zoom lens) handheld. Standing is not an option, since I am rapidly switching back and forth between cameras during the match. I’ve tried several but most are not that rugged, and certainly not that comfortable after 90 minutes — or 180 minutes.
I had been thinking about one of these for awhile, when my brother and his wife gave me the 18″ model for Christmas.
Perfect.
Sturdy legs. Folds and collapses nicely. Functional bag. Strong, large, comfortable seat. Foot ends are wide to give good support in soft ground (soft ground on the edge of a soccer pitch — whodathunk!).
It also fits in the top case of my maxi-scooter, so I have a place to take a break on long rides.
This stool is great for just about any activity where you may want to take a break, but don’t want to burden yourself with that folding big chair business. Think concerts, fireworks at the park or mall, picnics, sporting events, hiking, birding, working on your motorcycle, waiting in long lines, hanging out in the Pentagon parking lot waiting for Rolling Thunder to start, etc.
As you can tell, I also bought a 22″ model for when I need a little more height. We’re short of chairs for impromptu huddles in my office, so the 22″ now spends most of the time there. People are constantly asking “Where did you get that stool?”
My latest purchase was the “Walkstool Steady” — which should be extra good for soft ground.
Now this height is what I need for my two bad hips and a bad knee. Today it was easy to carry to a meeting; easy to sit on for well over an hour because the seat / saddle area is a good size for my 40″ hips; easy to rise from and refold. (Very nice for use on the lawn, too. I tried that first.) Though I’d never used a three legged stool before WalkStool, I quickly learned to straddle one of the points of the triangle, and am very pleased with how this seat invites a comfortably erect posture.
Be advised, however, that though the description says 26″, it measures 25″ when it’s fully open with no weight on it. (We didn’t measure the 22 inch model for actual height.)
My delight with the service rendered sounds paradoxical at first: Prompt delivery from 17th Street Photo, for both orders, yes. But there was a problem with the second order. When it came, a small 18 inch model (!) had been sent instead of the 26 inch. A dismaying sight, of course. However, when I phoned the company I didn’t have to go through a menu but got to talk with a real live human being, one whose genuine concern for the customer and whose courtesy reflects highly upon the company. He took all my information and emailed me (that day) what I needed to return the product (including a return label to print up so I didn’t have to pay for return shipping). The return went out the following day by UPS.
17th Street Photo was prompt in rectifying the problem, shipping us the correct WalkStool as soon as the incorrect item reached them. No nagging or hassle necessary.
A matter of company integrity, apparently. Nice. Very nice.
Wer schon lngere Trekkingtouren erlebt hat, wird es zu schtzen wissen, gut zu sitzen. Dieser Hocker erfllt den Wunsch Dank des geringen Gewichtes und der groen Sitzflche. Billigprodukte haben die Schwachstelle im Kunststoffring, der die drei Beine wie ein Scharnier zusammenhlt. Hier wurde die Aufgabe mit soliden Verschraubungen gelst. Das die Beine beim Herausziehen gnzlich ihr Fhrungsrohr verlassen, ist mir einmal bei einem Bein auch schon passiert, aber wenn man es wei, zieht man nicht so rasant und es kommt nicht mehr vor, also keine Minderung der Qualitt.
Was den Lieferanten betrifft, so wurde der Liefertermin nicht eingehalten. Leider wurde ich trotz Nachfrage per Mail (ich stand kurz vor einer Tour) nicht aufgeklrt. Erst als die Ware dann (zwei Tage ber der oberen Liefertoleranzgrenze) am Tag vor dem Start da war, kam auch eine Reaktion von Campz.de. (Dafr bekommt ihr einen Punkt Abzug!)
Alles in allem aber sehr gute Ware und bei einem greren Zeitfenster auch ein problemloser Lieferant. 😉
I also have some seriously bad problems with my back, hips and legs: Ankylosing spondylitis and spinal stenosis. As such, standing or walking for more than a few seconds begins to hurt, and the longer I stand or walk, the worse it hurts.
When a friend of mine (also very much eight-tiny-reindeer-sized) showed me his Walkstool, it went directly to the top of my, “Must Have,” list.
I have a walker, but it’s huge. I joke that it takes up about 13% more space when it’s folded up than when it’s open and in use.
It’s not that much of a joke.
It’s hard to lug around, and it doesn’t fit into the back seat of any of the cars in which I ride and only fits in a few of their trunks. If I need to have it, I’m careful to make sure that I have a van available for the driving part of any excursion.
Otherwise, I’m pretty much house-bound.
The Walkstool, on the other hand, flips over my shoulder and off I go. If I need to take a bit of a break, it unfolds in seconds and it’s a solid seat on all kinds of ground and floors.
I’m crazy about it!
The reindeer team seems happier, now, too.
