These are high end camping chairs with a focus on comfort, quality and a compact pack size. This is a full comparison of these two chairs, to break down the pros and cons of each and why I prefer one over the other.

Still not giving up my 1.2 lbs, $29 LACAL chair. Two seasons of backpacking and it's supported my 200lb frame without an issue. And it's actually comfortable.
Hello "Backcountry Exposure"! Thank you for showing us such a great video! I feel very happy! I look forward to your next work! Have a nice day!
Very excited about the kilos. Thank you so much for doing this comparison video.
The versatility of it and comfort blows my mind! ❤
And… bought it 😁
Very cool!
I currently have the Kilos Gear High-Back Armchair 2.0 and I love it enough that even though it's heavy (3.1 lbs.) for a backpacking chair, I'm willing to bite the bullet for a little more comfort when I get to where I'm going. It's a little bit of a cross between the two chairs you reviewed in this video.
Probably not for you as you like something easy to get in and out of but I like the Crazy Creek Hex 2.0. A great price, It has far fewer failure points of a regular chair, super lightweight, really nice to recline it and I can use it inside the tent when it's raining. But I totally get why it's not for everyone.
I have the Hex2.0 tall and I like it a lot. I just don't like it for camping, when camping from the car. But it's an excellent chair that's just classic!
@@BackcountryExposure Thanks for the reply, I probably should have got the tall myself!
Great comparison. Do you get any pain in the back of your legs from the leading edge of the material?
Thanks! I haven’t noticed any pain on either chair.
I bought the big six and wanted to love it, but I'm a taller guy, and the butt part didn't stick out far enough for me. I also felt like there needed to be some slits made in the sides of the seat area to give it a little more give. I felt like i was constantly sliding down the chair rather than feeling seated and supported. I'll just cross my fingers for kilos or helinox to make full arm supports on a camping chair.
Comfort is key when car camping. I noticed that the Kilos Gear Grand Peak has those fabric flap armrests like the Eureka Comfort Tagalong chair. I have been wanting to try out a chair with that style of armrest.
They aren't as good as armrests that have a dedicated support like the big agnes, but they are still great. They support your arm naturally in a good position, and that's important to comfort. The chair is awesome!
If you go to Costco right now you can get a Cascade Tech camping chair for $40 that's lighter and more portable than either of those chairs. Sure it doesn't have cup holders but if that's needed, just by the companion end table.
Big Agnes has the higher ground clearance though right?
Not necessarily. Just depends on the height selection of the legs on the grand peak.
@@BackcountryExposure What is the ground clearance on the Big Agnes?
The seat height is 20" on the Big Agnes.
@@BackcountryExposure Correct. Kilos Gear quotes 14" (max) ground clearance for the high back chair... so the Big Agnes has more ground clearance unless the specs quoted by Kilos Gear are incorrect...
@@bradl2636 I just measured my Grand Peak chair, and if adjusted to its highest height, it has a seat height of 18.11" from the ground. From this numbers, it looks like BA has the higher clearance height, and KG has the higher overall chair height.
I tried them both recently too and have very similar responses to them both. The arms are better on the BA, but the top of the backrest hit me at just the wrong place on the back of my neck. The arms on the KG are not especially effective, but the higher back made it more comfortable for me and the adjustable legs are a significant bonus.
Love that! Thanks for sharing!
As a big boy I like a big boy chair!
Ah yeah!
I still genuinely don't get the point of a backpacking chair. I don't find them all that much more comfortable than just sitting on the ground, leaning on my backpack.
And I say this as someone who finds comfort very important, I have yet to find a sleeping pad I enjoy sleeping on.
Where possible, I do take a hammock, which also solves the seating problem, I guess
This video was more specific to chairs for camping. Though my video before this was focused on Backpacking Chairs.
I think it's important to understand that everyone has different needs. For some, sitting on a rock or log is massively uncomfortable and a chair adds a lot of comfort to the experience. For others, sitting in the dirt or on a rock is perfectly fine. Just depends on your personal needs. :)
@@BackcountryExposure for camping it does make sense of course, if you're not carrying it around yourself
i still genuinely don’t get how anyone could prefer the ground. i could use a rock as a pillow, but i’d much rather use a pillow.
if you're car camping, stargazer wins all the time. I fell asleep in less than a minute on that fucking thing
I have zero clue why anyone that is car camping wouldn't just get a full size Pod Rocker. I mean, he mentions here that it folds up to a "small size" so that it fits in your car well...if you're car camping, ESPECIALLY BY YOURSELF, the amount of space a single chair takes up inside your car is basically a nonissue. Pod Rockers are infinitely more comfortable and only cost $50-70. Don't get this thing, just get a full-size camping chair.
Idc if i was rich i would never spend $150 on a camping chair haha
(tell me you’re a car camper without telling me you’re a car camper)
