Game changer for festivals :-)
Brilliant chair, small package, easy to put up quickly, sturdy as I’m 92kg. Bought two of these as sooooo useful. I store under my boot in car and take to the beach and festivals.
Comfort, strength
Good value for money camping chair, it’s a luxury item for backpacking and it’s not the lightest but it’s very comfortable and packs small.
Great quality, I suggest you get the sand/mud sheet for the kegs as this doesn’t include one.
Nice chair, easy to carry
Bought to take fishing, easy enough to carry, just a little on the low side though, so getting out is a bit of a challenge, I am 70 though, so for younger folks, probably not an issue.
Really good quality
Use these chairs in our campervan, they fold down really small so our easy to store and weigh next to nothing. Easy to unpack and take seconds to assemble. We used them for a week on our last trip and they are sturdy and well made. Highly recommended
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!
Really good lightweight packable chair that very easily fits widthways into my 30l rucksack.
Fits upright into a smaller rucksack too.
My 8th daughter and I sat in comfort all day for both days of the the recent Southport Air Show.
Quick and easy to set up and take down, and it’s bag is plenty big enough so it’s not a struggle to pack it away again.
The mesh areas provide plenty of air flow, even on very hot days.
Can’t recommend it highly enough!
5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly sturdy even for us heavy folk
I’m on the heavy side at 115kg so I needed a chair. This one claims to handle 135kg, but it definitely feels scary sitting on it for the first time. On a level stable floor the chair is surprisingly sturdy and the more I use it the more confidence I have that it’s not going to break under me. On soft soil or sand it does sink, which is really disconcerting, so I think I’ll be buying the additional footprint. The fabric feels strong and the corners are pretty tough, but I see some people with problems so I guess time will tell if they last. I love the black on orange colourway. Although the chair is light, the pack size is still quite cumbersome. It won’t fit inside my backpack, but it can be strapped to the outside.
Won’t go camping withou
I make sure I’ve got room in my bag for this, my first few wild camps I went without a chair, this led to me being uncomfortable or laying down in my tent just to get comfy, this bad boy paired with a fire is a dream in nature
5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking little chair, sand cover made to use with it is a must if using on sand
Very compact, well made, comfortable seat for beach , picnic, away days use. Comes with compact cover and is very comfortable , easy to erect and dismantle.
Two niggles, I think the sand cover, which fits on the legs of the chair to prevent it sinking into soft ground/ sand, should be provided as part of the chair rather than a rather overpriced accessory and it would also be very useful to have attachment straps so the chair can be securred to a backpack, but that’s just me being a bit picky, possibly. A well made and comfortable item
5.0 out of 5 stars Small, light, strong, supportive
Very good camping chair – comfortable, supportive, strong, very light, packs into a very small case and (with the optional sand cover, which you should buy) it doesn’t sink into soft ground, grass, soil or sand.
Light and durable
The best chair to date: small, compactable, light and durable – takes 30 seconds to put it up and 30 seconds to fold it and takes very little space in your car. It is light and small to vcarry around – fits in a standard backpack. No 1 of all the chairs I have tried.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and compact - Great value
Was a bit nervous of using this at a festival but it held up perfectly – no bending or creaking. Side pockets are a nice touch also. It’s very sturdy and packs up small which is just what I needed. Couldn’t recommend this more
Camping chair that packs small
A quality collapsible camping chair, it’s weight isn’t super lightweight weighing around 1.5 lbs but that isn’t a problem when motorcycle camping. I would like to think a lighter chair would be available for a fell walke
Not a seat - a stool
Second one I’ve had but it is a stool with a back to rest on. Not a ‘chair’. Lightweight and easy to assemble. Used for bicycle touring/bikepacking. Great value and very, very strong, I suggest 4 plugs or motorbike side stand discs to prevent the legs sinking in soft ground.
Smaller than expected!
I was expecting a bigger package, when it arrived I thought it must be a child’s seat (it was the size of loaf of bread) suprise, suprise when I opened it and assembled it to be adult size. It’s good for back packing as it folds down to a small package and comes with a bag,easily fits in a rucksack, although it looks a bit flimsy it’s stronger than it looks.
Great quality, durable and affordable!
Bought these chairs for a multi-month cycle tour .. bit of a luxury I know (both in terms of volume and weight), however I can’t describe the satisfaction of being able to set up camp at the end of a long days ride and then SIT DOWN COMFORTABLY and RELAX in a chair! It is truly delightful. These chairs endured daily use for months and are still looking great. My husband is also a bit of a bigger person (6 ft 2 in, 100kg) and the chair works perfectly for him too. No issues!
There are a lot of these style chairs so I did my research and ordered this one. I wanted a small pack lightweight chair to haul to a festival.
First time assembly at home was quick and the pull tags were a help when the fabric was brand new. I left it up in the garden and all family members used it and thought it was comfortable.
You can assemble in less than a minute. The bag is generous when you pack it away.
I found it flexible but sturdy. I was able to balance on two legs while cooking and the side pockets were useful for holding a phone or can.
It’s a great chair and much more comfortable than the expensive high back Helinox chair that my friend had – that was narrow in the seat and rubbed her arms.
This is one of the best things ive purchased. It was bought to be used at download festival, as me and my friend wanted something small and lightweight that could be put away if we wanted to get into the crowds, 2 of them fitted perfectly into his small backpack. Then whenever we wanted to sit down between acts we wanted to see it takes about 2 minutes to set up once you get the knack for it. Surprisingly comfy, my friend actully fell asleep in it at one point which goes to show just how much comfort you can gain. I was worried about my weight in it as im a bigger guy but it held up and it’ll be getting used again. We had numerous people ask us about it when they seen us setting it up or away due to ease of carrying them.
Extremely good for the price
I used this for a backpacking trip in Scotland climbing up Ben Nevis and hiking quite a good amount of miles. I’d fully recommend this to someone who wants to add a bit of comfort to their trips for not much weight.
The weight was almost unnoticeable (My sleeping bag actually weighed more than this before upgrading that), compacts quite small, in an ideal world if it could halve in size that would make this 10/10.
I weigh 185lbs and it didn’t feel like it was struggling at all holding my weight.
Assembly is very easy, just unwrap the poles, insert the bottom ones first then use the hoops on the top to pull the catch for the hoops onto the poles.
I’m 6’2 about 90kg and it started sinking into the dirt slowly, it wasn’t super wet but moist.
I think it would be best on top of something as the feet are very slim for a large perso
I really like this chair, and I have been throwing it in bags, taking it on dog walks etc. I was looking at compact lightweight chairs and this seemed to be a good balance of weight (just under a kilo) size (I am about 180/190lbs depending on coat / how many cakes eaten etc and 6ft) and cost ( the really lightweight ones are often north of 100 I got this for roughly 30).
I have tried to put some pictures up that give you an idea of scale, with the chair up and a pair of sunglasses and with it packed down and a pair of sunglasses. I feel perfectly sturdy in the chair have no tipping issues and personally have no issues getting out of it. It is quite low but this can be an advantage in a lot of tents etc or if you just want to try to keep out of the wind .
So in short yes there are lighter more portable chairs out there and for sure there are plenty of heavier ones but I think this works very well for me and is a keeper. It takes me about 30secs to assemble and about the same to pack up so no great drama and the material seems well constructed . Thank you.
I’m 20stone and no problems!
Ok so this is a quality built chair. I’m just over 20 stone and I can sit on it with confidence, in face I’m camping right now and sat on it! On the grass! And not sinking!! Even without any mat or jam hard lids under the feet. I preferred this as the plastic joints and the metal poles are more substantial than others. As long as you sit in it correctly it will support you. I imagine if you were to drop yourself into it and the chair was at a funny angle or on a hill or something it could break but then anything would with that kind of force, just put it on the ground, ensure the legs are spread (okay this is sounding dirty now) and sit down gently, reposition yourself and lean back with one (or two if you have a stool) feet in the air with confidence. Just avoid sand or wet mud/grass without aforementioned jam jar lids, and make sure if your on a hill you face up/down it as if your on the pi** you could sit on it funny and possibly break it, your fault, not the manufacturers. I would buy another in a heartbeat over the cheap (and the expensive) ones. Oh and it’s easy to get the cover on, no issues at all.
Decent lightweight chai
Bought this as a lightweight camping chair for motorbike trips as my Alpha camp was just too big.
I’m 6ft 2, 16 stone and this little fella held up well over a 3 day trip. Wouldn’t want to dump myself in it after to many beers however but then I am pushing the stated limit.
Generally comfortable over an extended campfire session but if you’ve got a bad back or knees this ought not be for you.
My only gripe would be on soft grass after rainfall it will sink but then they do sell the soft ground cover which would be a wise investment.
Takes about 45 seconds to put up. The magnetic tent pole like setup is actually really satisfying. Little tip and put the top half on first it goes on easier.
Amazon link is misleading!
There are supposed to be 2 versions of this chair – one with a shorter back and one with a longer/adjustable back. In the link in Amazon it looks as though the image of the black chair is taking you through to the adjustable/longer backed version, but it actually isn’t – Amazon only seem to have the short backed version on the website, so beware if you want the long backed version. This isn’t it.
I bought 2 of these (thinking they were the long backed versions), but they are the short back version. Per other comments, the back would ideally be longer to make these chairs really comfortable. These ones are ideal for people 5ft 5 inches and below (my guess). My kids love them. They are ok for me (5ft 8″), but would not be ideal to sit on the beach on for any length of time (>45 mins or so) due to the back length and lack of neck support. They are quite snug fitting, so would not suit heavier people who might struggle to get in and out of them.
They are really light weight, very small when packed up, and very easy to put together/take apart, so I think they are perfect for e.g. a quick rest on a hike (and will easily fit into a rucksack), but if you want all day comfort either try and find the ones with the longer back or go for another brand.
We bought two of these chairs to take on our camping trip. They’re a lean back chair, extremely comfortable, and lightweight.
One chair we set up when we got it and ended up using it around the house without any problems, even preferred it over normal furniture
Unfortunately when we got on our trip and used the second one, it broke the second time it was sat on. Its a shame because the first one was fine the whole trip and I’d otherwise be giving a 5* review!
I’d definitely recommend checking the build quality of the chair if you do get one, and sitting in it for a couple of hours at home to stretch the fabric / check it doesn’t rip before taking it on a trip.
Edit: Increased to 4* as Trekology have a 1-year warranty. I got in contact with them through their website and got a new seat base sent out to me without any problems – not used heavily yet but it hasn’t broken so far!
Completely exceeded my expectations!
I was extremely surprised by this, when I first unpacked and built it I thought it was way too small and would eventually become uncomfortable but I was very wrong.
I sat on it for hours on my camping trip, you sink into it and it just feels great. Building it is really simple and took me about 60 seconds.
It packs up super small and is extremely lightweight. Would be perfect for a festival, I think it is slightly too chunky to hike with but perfect for taking in the car.
The only downside is it does kinda feel a bit uneasy on uneven ground, and initially I felt like it was gonna collapse all the time but after an hour sat on it I realised this was unlikely.
A lot of people viewing this product will be familiar with the Helinox Chair One which these types of chair are based on.
I own a number of Helinox chairs and also a cheap supermarket own version. This puts me in a good position to be able to make a comparison.
I was contacted by Trekology shortly after purchasing this chair asking for a honest review. I have now used the chair in various situations and am very impressed.
The Helinox Chair One is a better quality chair, with the poles being a superior finish, and pole pockets being a better stronger material. The Helinox is in some ways over engineered.
The supermarket own brand is also a great little chair and performs well. Being rated at 100 kg capacity it is more than adequate for my wife or daughter. I however am close to this and am careful not to drop into it heavily, although it has never felt like it would give way.
The Trekology chair is rated at 300 pounds (136 kg) and is made from more substantial tubing than the cheap chair. I have had no problems whatsoever with it even when dropping into it quite heavily.
The chair height is a little higher than the others and this makes it a more comfortable seating position for me at 6 foot and also makes it easier to get in and out off.
I wasn’t too bothered about the side pockets when I first purchased the chair but have since found them to be quite a handy little feature.
The chair is strong and comfortable and I often find myself choosing this one to sit in over the others, much to th annoyance of my daughter who’s chair this is supposed to be.
These chairs all have a common fault in that the relatively thin legs can sink into soft ground when sat in. The optional ground mat solves this problem, works very well and I would definitely recommend purchasing one.
Some reviewers have mentioned that the rivets on the cross bar have broken. These rivets are only to aid assembly, allowing you to just turn the cross bar for everything to snap into place. They do not give any structural strength to the chair and if they do break will not affect the functionality of the chair in any way. Indeed the Helinox Chair One does not have these rivets although the Chair Zero and Sunset Chair do.
This chair is a fantastic little chair. No it is not as well made or as strong as the Helinox but it is a third of the price. It is more comfortable to sit in and I have no doubt it will last for many years of hard use.
Would I buy another one? ABSOLUTELY.
After buying this chair I wanted to buy the high back chair, which is similar to my Helinox Sunset chair, but unfortunately they have discontinued it!!!!
Trekology, if you read this, please bring back the high back chair.
