What to look for in a camp chair you will actually carry

The best camp chair is a compromise you are happy to repeat: supportive enough to use, compact enough to bring.

Check the packed shape first

Look at the packed length and the shape of the carry bag before you look at the cup-holder count. A chair that fits cleanly alongside the rest of your kit is more likely to make it to camp.

Prioritize these details

  1. A stable base for the surfaces where you camp.
  2. Fabric that dries quickly after dew or a surprise shower.
  3. Arm and back support that matches how long you actually sit.
  4. A frame you can carry without bruising your knees or shins.
