      @@steveb6444 Steve, To be honest, the degree in engineering didn't make me a good designer. It just gave me the tools to implement my ideas. Common sense made me a good designer. Mostly what these companies need is someone like you or Luke with some common sense! Some companies do hire "beta testers" to use products and give feedback on design. If you think you have something to offer, I would contact the manufacturer and see what they say.

    I have owned this Cliq chair for about four years. No, I don't backpack with it. I either car camp or store it in my motorcycle top box. I'm 5-8, 175 pounds. I find it extremely comfortable. Yes, I'm in a more prone position than other chairs I own like Helix, REI, etc. I had one issue where two of the bolts came out and Cliq quickly sent me four more. Other than that I really like the chair. Appreciate the sewn-in slot for my phone as I'm sitting. None of the fabric has degraded or frayed at all. When I stop to take in the sights and have lunch on my motorcycle, it's really a comfy thing. Out among the redwoods I love it.

    I've had my cliq for more than a year and I love it, I'm 6'2 230 and I've never had a problem with anything digging into my legs, and been using it faithfully for camping and sporting events, and probably sold many just by people asking where did I get it, and some even tried it out themselves on the spot, I love it and its reliable/durable in my opinion.

    I'm 5' 8" tall and I've had no issue feeling like I need to slouch in this chair. I have a Helinox chair that sits too low but is a great weight. The Cliq chair sits much higher and is much more comfortable. I agree with you regarding how portable the Cliq is because it is much larger than my Helinox. The Cliq is a fabulous and comfortable chair! My son is 6'2" and 198 lbs and we can't figure out why you feel so uncomfortable using it. Neither of us has had the fabric cut into our legs.

    I have the predecessor to the Cliq Chair; the Go Chair. Both were sold on Indiegogo; the "crowdfunding" site for new products. I bought the Go Chair about 8 years ago. Exactly the same chair, just the name changed. It was good for it's time, compact and stable. I agree that it feels "weird" for an adult, but works great for my son and daughter who are younger than 15 and less than 150 lbs. Not lightweight, but very sturdy. I keep it in the truck and use it when the kids need a chair to sit in. It's nice that it is one piece and doesn't need a carry bag.

    Purchased 2 Cliq chairs 5+ years ago on a crowd funding site. The 2 chairs came with a storage bag. Your review is exactly how I feel about the chairs, they are not to most comfortable. You do slouch sitting in this chair. Used them quite often while camping and at the beach. They have held up well and are very easy to set up. Using them at the beach is nice because they can be adjusted by pushing the legs into the sand to find the most comfortable position.

  • @chatters02
    @chatters02 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Thanks for doing this review, good to see others thoughts. I bought 4 of these and got a free bag a couple years ago. They were like $35-$40 at the time. Surprised too see they are $100+ now. We use the mainly for car camping and like you said sitting at soccer games. The one thing I noticed is the rivets that hold up the chair get loose over time and the seat kind of rocks. Its a pro and con at times. I don't get the leg digging back into my legs, maybe I never noticed and it loosened. Overall the best part of these chairs is we can keep them in a front seat or a trunk and they hardly take-up space and are quick to setup and go. Thanks!

    I have 2 of them that I purchased about 4 years ago. They gave me the carrying case that fits both and I paid $60 a piece. I haven't had any problems with them. I use them for motorcycle camping and find them extremely comfortable. The height is also really nice, in that it is taller than those midget backpacking chairs, and slightly shorter than the $5 full size festival chairs; so I never feel like I'm sitting in a kids chair or towering over other people when camping. They generally stay in my car for extra seating when visiting friends, and toss them in the saddlebag when I'm out on the bike. I haven't noticed any issue with sitting upright, or leaning back with my feet kicked out. The wide feet and heavy legs on the chair keep it from falling over in a breeze before I can sit in it, and I haven't had them sink into the dirt while using them. All in all, a nice chair.

    I was one of the original backers of this chair, ordered it when it was still crowdfunding. I was disappointed with it. Have had it now for several years, unused. Actually broke it out tonight and sat in it on the back deck, watching fireworks. It's not so bad, I guess. I'd never in a million years pack it into my camping gear, as I do hike in sites, but for patio use, it's not bad.

      I'm sure it has it's uses, but on the trail that reclined position isn't the one I want my body in. In a setting where I wasn't that concerned with what was going on right in front of me or at mostly eye level somewhere in the distance, it'd probably be okay. I could see this being a good chair at like at an outdoor music event or something.

    Hey, Luke, I bought a pair a couple of years a ago. But about a year later, a bolt came off from the leg joint that attaches to the main hub and then a couple months ago the on the bolt other chair went missing too. I replaced both bolts (Home Depot) by matching one from the other leg attachment. All the other parts seem durable but they need to design those bolt to not come loose. I do agree with you on your assessment on comfortability. I would rate the chair a six out of ten for easy to set up but I would rate three for comfortability and durability.

    Best chairs we've ever had for kayaking. Hasn't rusted in 5 years of using periodically in salt water. Fits in hatch, very comfortable. Able to lean back or sit up straight. Just put your butt farther back in the seat to sit up straight. Very stable. I've never been uncomfortable, ever. We've thrown out all our other chairs that haven't worked out and bring these everywhere, except hikes, too heavy for that . Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

    I bought myself one, which was kind of an expensive mistake . It is quite a bit faster then my other older design. But it is also heavier and does not come with a carry case so I had to rig something up when I go for a walk. (I don't like sitting on the ground because of the deer ticks.) Mine was a little bit stiff so locking it in place takes a bit of effort. A choice between this chair and my older chair which is lighter weight? I guess I would choose this one. But you do have to pick a spot where are the back legs will be on a bump

  • @gmoorach
    @gmoorach Před 6 měsíci

    I think the material digging into the back of your legs is highly dependent on your height/leg length. I'm 5'-9". I find the basic Cliq chair very comfortable and do not notice anything digging into the back of legs. I also have a Cliq Lounge chair. I find the material digs into the back of my legs a bit on the Lounge. This is because the front of the Lounge chair is higher than the standard Cliq chair. So, my feet/lower legs do not raise my upper legs enough.

  • @Memphobass5

    I’ve had mine for almost 4 years and I only recommend it to friends when I can show them the fail points. Im not purchasing another one. I’m 5’11 220lbs and mine lives in my car and has only been used on level ground for camping. The nylon where the posts fit in will fail and eventually punch through. The dimples where the posts connect to the hub aren’t deep enough so after a while you’ll be able to pull the posts out of the hub. You can connect them back and it will work but if i wanted that inconvenience I’d just buy the same style chair as the camo chair he has in the video. I was in love with it for the first 2 years but quickly fell out of love with it and they have a 2 year warranty so no going to them for replacements for me.

Snapped the legs open, pulled out the extensions, heard 4 clicks, sat down with a grin, bam, got it right up the a$$ 😢… it’s 6 cliq’s, not 4 cliqs, no pun intended😏… In all honesty this cliq chair suck’s, very uncomfortable positioning… they are going to be sent back today… I have 3 of the “ONE TIGRIS” chairs that were suggested by you “Luke” I believe a few years ago and I love them. They have never let me down nor try to violent me on the first date.

      Because we all know that's what's really going on when random folks send you stuff or ask you to review a product; it's because they're connected to it somehow, either because they're selling it, marketing it, or produce it.

    I have experienced the same problem a product that a lot of people love or someone recommends that I don't because it simply fits me wrong and therefore is not comfortable for me. It's like shoe shopping to shop for chairs great design is important but so is fitting to my size and shape.

    This looks and sounds like it could be a fixable problem for the manufacturer. Maybe if the front legs were shorter.... The easy set up is so nice. Regardless, it sounds like you know better options right off the top of your head :-) Thanks for doing your reviews. I like how honest and straight forward they are!

      @@FunkteonOo-oo-oo, this sounds like a great suggestion. Thank you. I did not like the fact that at the sitting position (or what seems to be an actual lounging position) that I would not have any neck or upper back support, as well as having it cut into the back of my legs. I need something closer to what @richard_n was stating he needed. I'll definitely check out your suggestion. Thank you again.

    I purchased this chair (dual set) 2 yrs ago. 3rd time using it, that center hub broke like pot metal. Happened out West in the Vegas area & it was pretty hot but I can’t say that was a factor or not, or my weight, I’m at 280. Still, being a senior & camping alone it was enough for me to lose confidence in the product.

    I have been searching for some collapsible/folding chairs for space saving in our camper van. I clicked on the link Luke provided and on Amazon Canada they are priced at $229. More if you want different colours. Not happening, especially now that I have seen this review. No way I could sit at that angle. There were similar ones from Sportneer for 70 or 80 that looked better positioned. I think I will look into those.

    Got the chair years ago when they were on kickstarter with a different name. Im close to the weight limit of the chair and have never had an issue with it supporting me even when my beagle jumps in the chair with me. Its not the most comfortable chair but it works. Got it to fit in the side cases of my motorcycle and takes a few seconds to set up and take down unlike my friends that are taking minutes to set up their helinox chairs. It was a good purchase at $65 back when i got it but definitely not worth the $110 it is now

    I don't like any chair that causes pressure to my legs. I had a similar chair and I gave it away. My favorite camp chair was purchased at Costco for $37. It has a high back with a pillow headrest. It takes just a minute to set up. I actually fell asleep in it while fishing as it is quite comfortable.

    well, just picked one up at the local Goodwill for $6.99. So far, it's worth every penny 😂 Honestly, though, I own about 4-5 other simlarly sized camp chairs (all of which are much lighter), and I don't find this chair any less comfortable than any other chair I own; my experience is that these sorts of smaller chairs are just going to be somewhat less compfortable than a full sized chair and that's just sort of how it is. I honestly don't think this chair is worth anywhere near $100 bucks, but it's well-made and does what it sets out to do.

    @zenofthemoment Před 7 měsíci

    I suspect that the seating position is common to this style of chairs to more evenly distribute the user’s weight between all four poles. If you tipped it more upright, a disproportionate amount of the user’s weight would be carried by the front two supports, and the weight rating would have to be reduced, or the front supports would have to be beefed up/reinforced adding weight size and cost, to prevent failure. The seating position looks identical to every other chair I can think of, including my OneTigris chair.

    I have been considering this chair. A family had 4 of them last year at my son’s baseball tournament. I have a cascade mountain hiking chair from Costco that is extremely light and comfortable but it blows over in the wind and I feel like an Edward scissorhands setting it up. I thought one of these might be great because I could throw it in the wagon with my moon shade and other junk. Now I am not so sure. I would love to see a review of the more upright chairs. There is no way my family members with mobility issues could use this chair.
