Another good review. As a person over 6 feet tall the high back chair is what I look for. The whole reason for any chair is comfort otherwise we’d just sit on the ground or some other suitable surface.
I bought the Klymit Timberline, essentially the same chair-minus the side pocket. I’ve sat in it every day since July4th and am sitting in it now. The only thing I have negative to say is the high back allows it to tip over very easily.
I have the regular version of this chair, I find the pocked extremely useful as I can easily slide my cellphone in the pocket as opposed to keeping it in the pocket of my pants.
This dude is living my whole dream. His girl rides with him and his passion, he bows to no man or corporation, and he rocks salon quality hair like a boss.
Hey Luke, Doc here. I am one of those committed yet financially strapped viewers that counts on you for honest reviews of outdoor gear. Folks like me don’t have the extra financial resources to support your channel. However, it is our referral advice to other like- resourced folks that contributes to your channel’s exponential growth. We trust you; we share your channel. We are, I would say, the backbone of your Wolfpack. Thanks for who you are and what you do. A long-time viewer, Doc.
We have the Helinox Chair zero for me and my son has the Chair Mini. For car camping, Costco carries the "Cascade Mountain Tech Ultralight Highback Chair" for $30. It even looks just like the highback chair here. It even comes with a cushion. They weigh about the same. For backpacking, I carry the Chair Zero, at just over a pound, it's an amazing chair.
Even the high back is too small for a tall person. As someone who is 6"5. I would no doubt get backpain after sitting in either for more than 2 min. So funny how everyone tells you how cool is must be to be tall. Nope not at all, it's a pain in the life. Nothing fits, having to pick what fits you, instead of what you wants. Trying to find tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, that is long enough and can support your weight. I've had regular wooden / metal chairs collapse on me, because they are only rated for 100kg. The high life is the sad life ! lol
I'm finding that the longer I sit in my chair, the original, it seems to start digging in at the back of my armpits ( I'm 250+ lbs). If I knew they were going to be coming out with the high back I would have waited!! Hindsight....right!!
I am 5`8" short and it seems to me that a strategically placed rolled up jacket on that high back version could seriously pimp up your star gazing time by the camp fire!
high back chair is called sunset chair (Helinox) or moon chair (Naturehike) for a reason, it's especially comfy for star gazing when one rest the head for long hours looking at the sky.
Have talked the wife into a week end camping trip to linville falls next week. I really need some time in the mountains just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to get back out and enjoy the world around us. Thanks.
The high back I bought from a different company has a couple add-ons that yours doesn't have... a head pillow that velcros on, and a foot rest that clips on. I leave both add-ons at home when I paddle camp, but take them car camping. They do make it comfortable enough for a brief snooze. (When I backpack these are too heavy so I take a hammock chair if anything) I have a couple of the small chairs too. They just aren't really comfortable enough for us tall folks (I'm about 6'3"). I will take the small ones car camping for others to sit in.
These chairs like most others are missing an important feature, a sand cover ( goes over the feet to stop it sinking in soft soil or sand), I have a low back (OEX), and high back (Robens), chairs both comfortable and use the low back more often as the legs don't sink in the ground. 👍👍
After seeing your review of the regular OneTigris chair I bought one. I've used it around home, and on two multi-day backpack trips. I've got to say, it's an awesome chair. Thanks for the reviews. I think the high back version would make a nice car camping chair.
What would be cool - a 4 lb one person tent that can convert into a sleeping cot or chair simply by adjusting the poles and canvas into various configurations.
I have the shorter Camo chair that I took on a 7 week 10,044 mile motorcycle trip. I have large saddlebags and the chair fit in the top just fine. The chair is quality and sturdier than the cheaper chairs this style. I did use the side pockets to hold cozi's or to stuff the end of the bag in, so the bag wouldn't get last. The only thing I wish was that there were some plastic discs that would fit into those pockets that could be added to the feet to help the chair to not sink so much in softer ground. That's it, my only complaint, optional add on feet. I bought the chair based on you last review, and was happy with my choice.
Ive got the old chair due to the review from this channel. Been enjoying it due to the small storage and light weight. Tigris should have made a new table before making a new chair.
I bought and tested the OneTigris Highback chair in the Highlands and I can say this Its gucci and literally the best chair out there. I am a fatty and this thing is rated for a weight far bigger than me. It actually flexes a bit, in a good way. It does dig in to the ground but much less than other chairs due to the BIG rubber stoppers on the legs Reclining back into it, its so comfortable that you could literally sleep in it Leaning forward, the flex actually functions to make it practical if you are prepping a fire. Its basically a tactical deckchair that trumps every other chair system out there. The down sides are ..... Its really really big. Im talking "molle it to the outside of your pack" big. Its heavy: 1.36kg is basically half a tent. This is without doubt, the most awesome, comfortable, and best value-for-money chair, that anyone could buy... ...but it weighs about the same as 2x 750ml canteens of water, and THAT right there is the rub. I would not camp WITHOUT it. I would never hike WITH it. Its a wonderful chair but its a tank of a chair.
Pretty sure I ordered the lower chairs based on your review...couldn't find the highback on slamazon for quite a while. Now they do have it, in black, for $80 but I recently picked up their "Dragonhide Camping Chair". The new Dragonhide version has a removable pillow, bilateral cup holders, and can be used in either a "high" mode or by stowing the legs in a "low" mode for $70. Seems a no brainer. I definitely like the highback version better than the originial I purchased. The low back can be for the kids.
Nice review Luke👍 Seating height is everything to somebody 6'5". I tried one of these pack style chairs, did not work for me as getting into and out of was a total joke. I do however see the benefit for some shorter/lighter folks. Thanks.
I have two regular OneTigris chairs. One I keep in my living room and have had it in daily use for about 6 weeks. No sign of wear and it's quite comfortable. The other I have in my truck camper for when I do overnights. Works really well for that because it stores in a much smaller package than a regular folding chair. Thumbs up on the chair and on your videos.
Good review. This may have been said, but in regards to making the high back less high but keeping the shape, with the back being higher, you’re able to keep the top bar out of your back. It’s a little heavy for backpacking though.
Some of us have longer backs and the high back would be well worth the money and extra weight. Im 6'9" and I know the high back is the only way to go. And, for that price, I might just get one.
I went broke because of this channel recommending such good products and amazing detailed reviews down to the molecule with each product .. i found one at such a great deal and pulled the trigger because of this channel lol … I came up on one of these for less than 30 dollars and the current market value on the internet from what it seemed like is close to $70 to $100 some listed … I hope they keep pushing out more awsome products so this guy can review them lol it’s the only channel I take advice from… so much surplus and camp stuff I have pulled the trigger on because of YOOOUUUU !!!!!! It’s like a addiction now and it’s my first year camping 🤣🤣
If you're not backpacking, and want a chair that's gonna last, check out the Kermit Chair. Made in Tennessee, and are perfect for motorcycle camping. Optional leg extensions make them as tall as lawn chair, easier for us old folks to get up and down. Price is double of the chairs in this review, but you only buy one.
Highback for MUCH better shoulder room. D-Rings...I have been adding D-Rings to the edges of my chairs for decades. With them I can add any number of quick mods for hanging/securing pouches, fishingrods, firearms, shades, etc.etc, etc.
I have the original and see no need for the highback version. I'm 6'1 and the original suits me just fine and the added weight is significant. Good review, thanks.
I bought two of the regular chairs to use in the cockpit of my trimaran. I put a small rivet in the side pocket to tie it down in case of a capsize. They work great on the boat and are easily moved ashore for a camp chair.
I have a standard model and a Big Agnes highback. The One Tigris products are heavier, but feel much stronger. The Big Agnes, which has been sold out all summer, is far more expensive and very light and comfortable. The Big Agnes collapses down to fit in a smaller bag, because each upright is two pieces and the bar beneath the seat is two pieces as well. I am happy with my purchases, however, I would recommend the One Tigris to others as it is cheaper, easier to assemble and feels more durable.
I love the regular OneTigris chair, it’s good for about 3-4 hours of sitting before it starts to get uncomfortable. I would like to see a regular height back with wide leg cut.
I’m much more inclined to stick with my bushcrafty sling chairs and tripod stool/footrest… they’re lifetime durable and weigh under a pound for both.. just add wood ;)
Been using my standard size chair for awhile now. At almost 6' 4" @ 270lbs you do notice the top edges digging in a bit unless you position yourself correctly. With that said the chair is very comfortable and I can sit there for some time. I backpack mine and will be sticking with the standard chair. I keep waiting for it to give up on me, but so far not so much as a pulled seam.
Either one of these chairs beats sitting on a log or on a backless bench! Based on your review, I would opt for the high-back model because I am broad-shouldered: the cut-away shape would fit me better. For many years, I have owned a heavier fold-up chair with wooden armrests. A chair needs armrests to be truly comfortable. Realistically, I would not carry any of these chairs for backpacking. Chairs are for car camps.
My favorite chair: Trakker RLX Nano Chair. It's not foldable like these chairs and more suitable for those who use transport to the camping site. It has a bit of old Jeep feeling over it. I like it.
I just bought a Helinox high back version. Just over 1 kg, and 140e 😅 I tried the low back, but liked the high version because i'm able to rest my head, especially if I slide bit more downwards in the chair. Very relaxing! And I can use the carrying pouch as a pillow with something inside it. I like to use it to support my lower back.
My favorite hiking chair is Big Agnes Big 6 Camp Chair (the one with out the arm rest). I have wide hips and most hiking chairs do not account for this. Also, It is hard for me to get off the ground from a low chair or sit pad. It weighs 3lbs 14ozs and takes a few minutes to setup, but that is ok as it will keep me on the trail!
Trekkology has a high back chair version too. Always go with the high back version. It helps relax your upper back and shoulders after a long day’s hike. Seniors will really appreciate the high back version.
For me the high back is the only one I would have after a few hours fly fishing, I have two of the smaller ones I give them to my grandkids and they love them and I must say I love the high back it’s far more comfortable so good review 👍🏴
Just baught the high back version, should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out. I have the Sportneer model and I love it. Just wanted something different. These kind of chairs are great for short hikes and bike camping.
Been waiting on a One Tigris standard height chair for two months now. No word when they will be back in stock. None of the high-back chair models I've tried are very comfortable. I'll wait on the low back version.
I just got the regular version of this, to go with my OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow. I'll be using this setup along with the Lixada telescopic backpacking rod for fishing trips. A wood stove and a skillet, and that's some epic rainbow trout hopefully on the menu for having dinner outdoors at the reservoirs. So looking forward to this!!
The highback here is basically useless, the seat cut is what makes it. I own a similar chair which has a swivelling function and a highback onto which I can lean my head on. If I use a cushion, I can sleep in this thing. A matching footstool is included in the set, which makes it even more comfortable (and if needed, it makes for an emergency seat). There is velcro on the top of the headrest, onto which you can attach an also included flat bag which can be stuffed (e.g. spare clothes), which supports your head. It was not a cheap set, but worth every penny IMO. Love this thing.
I'm so glad you posted this! My husband has been looking for a good camp chair for backpacking but we didn't want to spend the money on something like the Helinox. These two are within our budget and all of our requirements. Now he just has to choose style and color.
Awesome review,,,, just what I needed to see,,,,, someone jumping back n forth between these two chairs and making an honest review.... thanks again for all your hard efforts over the years....
Luke: Here is a movie suggestion for one of your future trips:;; A Boy and His Dog --- mid 70's, Don Johnson in his first movie. GREAT! (if you like old 70's post-end-of-world movies).
Thank you for this! I was about to purchase a Tigris chair! This helped me decide which to get. Ty! Love your reviews, love that you are honest and unbiased about products here. Enjoy your channel vm.
I would have chosen the tall back chair because I would use my pillow and sleep a bit in that chair. I would like the feet of the chair to have a wider base because the feet on the chair as is would sink into the ground on certain terrains. On Some chairs, you can buy as an option the wider feet I do not know if these chairs have that option? Thanks for the video as always they are great. Have a great day and lots of traveling ahead.
Hmm ... would depend on what I was planning to use it for . For anybody who wants a really light , solid , backpacking chair that is minimalist . That is way better than a ground , rock or log . The Helinox Ground Chair . It sits really low , and is hard to get in & out of . But , is great after a long day hiking . About 23 oz . Nice review as usual ! Can't wait for the Van video ! I just went to Ford last week about ordering one , Reg roof 4x4 . They are NOT taking orders right now , which is OK . Cause I'm stuck on going Turbo 6 , or normally aspirated ??! Be safe out there ... gubs
I was looking at getting one of the originals. Just like many in the chat, i was afraid the original would be too small. Glad I waited. Thanks for the info!
Thank you 👍. Re: high back … I can see getting a small pillow that hangs over the bar on high back (the kind of small neck pillows they sell to hang over back of recliners.) Maybe One Tigris could make / sell as an accessory??
No.. the original suits every one of my needs and wants.......... there light, portable, comfortable, strong, easy to keep clean and they look good... at least the multi cam!!!!I love the pockets on the side perfect for my phone and other edc gear that's in my pockets...... the only gripe I have is..... there should be a easier way to assemble them with maybe sewn in pull tabs on all 4 connections....... and maybe wider feet that can be put on the bottom if your setting up somewhere where it's muddy or loose ground...... but other than that...I love mine
Ah, thank you for doing a review on the high back version- I’ve been waiting to finally grab a chair like these but then I noticed everyone has started making high back versions of it- and to be honest, the way you were positioned sitting in the high back chair looks more like what I’m looking for- I don’t mind extra weight & a few inches if it means I can lean back a bit and not have poles poking me in my arms lol.. You’ve made my decision much easier, thank you!
I like the high back version, looks like it would work good for me being over 6' tall. Great little review Luke, hope you guys are having a safe trip. Cheers
Another good review. As a person over 6 feet tall the high back chair is what I look for. The whole reason for any chair is comfort otherwise we’d just sit on the ground or some other suitable surface.
I’m 6’5” and this might be what I’m looking for. I use my motorcycle for a pack mule so packed size and weight matters some but comfy is #1 for me .
I have really been enjoying all your shows. For some reason, I find them very relaxing to watch.
Me too! 😊
I bought the Klymit Timberline, essentially the same chair-minus the side pocket. I’ve sat in it every day since July4th and am sitting in it now. The only thing I have negative to say is the high back allows it to tip over very easily.
I have the regular version of this chair, I find the pocked extremely useful as I can easily slide my cellphone in the pocket as opposed to keeping it in the pocket of my pants.
This dude is living my whole dream. His girl rides with him and his passion, he bows to no man or corporation, and he rocks salon quality hair like a boss.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You could always cut a pool noodle to go across the aluminum bar at the top or just a camp pillow?
Cheap and light great idea!

I've had regular wooden / metal chairs collapse on me, because they are only rated for 100kg.
The high life is the sad life ! lol
One Tigris site doesn't appear to be responding, however I did note the highback is available on Amazon for 53.00
I have two three leg styled folding chairs, both a very comfortable to sit in, even though they don’t have a back rest.
I'm finding that the longer I sit in my chair, the original, it seems to start digging in at the back of my armpits ( I'm 250+ lbs). If I knew they were going to be coming out with the high back I would have waited!! Hindsight....right!!
I am 5`8" short and it seems to me that a strategically placed rolled up jacket on that high back version could seriously pimp up your star gazing time by the camp fire!
On the high back chair it’s easier to keep your pillow behind your neck area if you want one there.
high back chair is called sunset chair (Helinox) or moon chair (Naturehike) for a reason, it's especially comfy for star gazing when one rest the head for long hours looking at the sky.
Stay safe on your cross country trip and enjoy Luke and Susan
Have talked the wife into a week end camping trip to linville falls next week. I really need some time in the mountains just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to get back out and enjoy the world around us. Thanks.
I bought the low back for car camping and would of happily spent the extra for the batter shape. But you will be happy with the low back.
The high back I bought from a different company has a couple add-ons that yours doesn't have... a head pillow that velcros on, and a foot rest that clips on. I leave both add-ons at home when I paddle camp, but take them car camping. They do make it comfortable enough for a brief snooze. (When I backpack these are too heavy so I take a hammock chair if anything) I have a couple of the small chairs too. They just aren't really comfortable enough for us tall folks (I'm about 6'3"). I will take the small ones car camping for others to sit in.
These chairs like most others are missing an important feature, a sand cover ( goes over the feet to stop it sinking in soft soil or sand), I have a low back (OEX), and high back (Robens), chairs both comfortable and use the low back more often as the legs don't sink in the ground. 👍👍

I am a fatty and this thing is rated for a weight far bigger than me.
It actually flexes a bit, in a good way.
It does dig in to the ground but much less than other chairs due to the BIG rubber stoppers on the legs
Reclining back into it, its so comfortable that you could literally sleep in it
Leaning forward, the flex actually functions to make it practical if you are prepping a fire.
Its basically a tactical deckchair that trumps every other chair system out there.
The down sides are .....
Its really really big. Im talking "molle it to the outside of your pack" big.
Its heavy: 1.36kg is basically half a tent.
This is without doubt, the most awesome, comfortable, and best value-for-money chair, that anyone could buy...
...but it weighs about the same as 2x 750ml canteens of water, and THAT right there is the rub.
I would not camp WITHOUT it.
I would never hike WITH it.
Its a wonderful chair but its a tank of a chair.

One Tigris seems like some of the gear is a little hit or miss. But both these chairs seem solid.

I would go for the highback. But i own the adjustable sportneer
Highback for MUCH better shoulder room.
D-Rings...I have been adding D-Rings to the edges of my chairs for decades. With them I can add any number of quick mods for hanging/securing pouches, fishingrods, firearms, shades, etc.etc, etc.
When setting up these chairs, assemble the bottom first. The higher back rids bend easier to accept the cover.
If the 'weight' of the pockets were a deal breaker, just remove them by cutting the stitching with a razor blade. Good review as always
I have the original and see no need for the highback version. I'm 6'1 and the original suits me just fine and the added weight is significant. Good review, thanks.
I bought two of the regular chairs to use in the cockpit of my trimaran. I put a small rivet in the side pocket to tie it down in case of a capsize.
They work great on the boat and are easily moved ashore for a camp chair.

Luke, I believe those little pockets are meant to hold your cell phone. Just a thought.
I love the regular OneTigris chair, it’s good for about 3-4 hours of sitting before it starts to get uncomfortable. I would like to see a regular height back with wide leg cut.
"They're just as worthless". I laughed out loud when you said that.
I thought I was the only one lol 😂
I actually rolled back a few seconds just to make sure he actually said that…
They truly are. Who would try to store anything in them?
2 great camp chairs there. Thanks for showing us these.
I’m much more inclined to stick with my bushcrafty sling chairs and tripod stool/footrest… they’re lifetime durable and weigh under a pound for both.. just add wood ;)
Been using my standard size chair for awhile now. At almost 6' 4" @ 270lbs you do notice the top edges digging in a bit unless you position yourself correctly.

High back 100% Love this chair!
Thanks Luke 👊 appreciate you, stay safe, be well my friend, Strength and Honor 🇺🇲 👍
Can't wait to see the One Tigris Cot review...I need a Helinox killer.
As for chairs...Nemo Stargazer all the way.
Is there a Stargazer knockoff?
The back with a travel pillow would be super!
Either one of these chairs beats sitting on a log or on a backless bench! Based on your review, I would opt for the high-back model because I am broad-shouldered: the cut-away shape would fit me better. For many years, I have owned a heavier fold-up chair with wooden armrests. A chair needs armrests to be truly comfortable. Realistically, I would not carry any of these chairs for backpacking. Chairs are for car camps.
I like the way you choose your scenery .. the color palette for your videos is always very pleasing!
My favorite chair: Trakker RLX Nano Chair. It's not foldable like these chairs and more suitable for those who use transport to the camping site. It has a bit of old Jeep feeling over it. I like it.
I have a chair. Look at me.. king of my castle... you go do this, you go do that.. . :D
I'm liking that low back - and the side pockets probly good for cell phone ....
You should do a comparison between the Helinox vs. the One Tigris.
And possibly throw a TravelChair into the mix.
I was able to get the coyote regular for 40 only. Amazon seems to regularly have them at $40 instead of $50
I just bought a Helinox high back version. Just over 1 kg, and 140e 😅
I tried the low back, but liked the high version because i'm able to rest my head, especially if I slide bit more downwards in the chair. Very relaxing! And I can use the carrying pouch as a pillow with something inside it. I like to use it to support my lower back.
My favorite hiking chair is Big Agnes Big 6 Camp Chair (the one with out the arm rest). I have wide hips and most hiking chairs do not account for this. Also, It is hard for me to get off the ground from a low chair or sit pad. It weighs 3lbs 14ozs and takes a few minutes to setup, but that is ok as it will keep me on the trail!
Trekkology has a high back chair version too. Always go with the high back version. It helps relax your upper back and shoulders after a long day’s hike. Seniors will really appreciate the high back version.
All copies of Helikon version
@@darrenboorman4365 lol ok? Every product on the planet is a copy of another just like your car smh
I love my helinox chair zero less than a pound easy to take into backcountry
For me the high back is the only one I would have after a few hours fly fishing, I have two of the smaller ones I give them to my grandkids and they love them and I must say I love the high back it’s far more comfortable so good review 👍🏴
You just helped me make my decision on purchasing these chairs. Thanks for reviewing and saving me time and money.
Im 6 foot 4. Im buying hi back. Top bar is coming out and sewing a 12mm bungee in there
23 stone? cool, I can still use them!
Just baught the high back version, should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out. I have the Sportneer model and I love it. Just wanted something different. These kind of chairs are great for short hikes and bike camping.
The Eldris knife is for whittling
Awesome, perhaps another VS episode with Helinox's counterparts? 😎😎
Been waiting on a One Tigris standard height chair for two months now. No word when they will be back in stock. None of the high-back chair models I've tried are very comfortable. I'll wait on the low back version.
I just got the regular version of this, to go with my OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow. I'll be using this setup along with the Lixada telescopic backpacking rod for fishing trips. A wood stove and a skillet, and that's some epic rainbow trout hopefully on the menu for having dinner outdoors at the reservoirs. So looking forward to this!!
Really glad I watched your video, just picked up a chair for my trip next week. Definitely worth the xtra weight for good comfort around the fire
The highback here is basically useless, the seat cut is what makes it. I own a similar chair which has a swivelling function and a highback onto which I can lean my head on. If I use a cushion, I can sleep in this thing. A matching footstool is included in the set, which makes it even more comfortable (and if needed, it makes for an emergency seat). There is velcro on the top of the headrest, onto which you can attach an also included flat bag which can be stuffed (e.g. spare clothes), which supports your head. It was not a cheap set, but worth every penny IMO. Love this thing.
If I was going to buy one of those, I'd get the high back cause I dont backpack and weight is not an issue.
Would have go with the high back I am 6ft1 I am new to backpacking and the area I will car camp more so weight is not a big issue
I'm so glad you posted this! My husband has been looking for a good camp chair for backpacking but we didn't want to spend the money on something like the Helinox. These two are within our budget and all of our requirements. Now he just has to choose style and color.
Awesome review,,,, just what I needed to see,,,,, someone jumping back n forth between these two chairs and making an honest review.... thanks again for all your hard efforts over the years....
Luke: Here is a movie suggestion for one of your future trips:;; A Boy and His Dog --- mid 70's, Don Johnson in his first movie. GREAT! (if you like old 70's post-end-of-world movies).
Great review...but I'll go for comfort everytime this 70 y.o. vet likes his comfort these days. Wishing you and yours the best.
Thank you for this! I was about to purchase a Tigris chair! This helped me decide which to get. Ty! Love your reviews, love that you are honest and unbiased about products here. Enjoy your channel vm.
I like the high back version. It would be nice to have support for a heating or cooling pad behind your neck, if needed.
I would have chosen the tall back chair because I would use my pillow and sleep a bit in that chair. I would like the feet of the chair to have a wider base because the feet on the chair as is would sink into the ground on certain terrains. On Some chairs, you can buy as an option the wider feet I do not know if these chairs have that option? Thanks for the video as always they are great. Have a great day and lots of traveling ahead.
every time i see one of your video thumbnails where you are wearing a black t-shirt, I keep thinking that you are ricky gervais. 🤣
The higher with a pillow...OMG what a knap!!
Love the highback. Its more comfortable if you like to kick back and read in the chair.
This is my 1st video with your channel, and you answered every question I had in regards to these 2 chairs.. You earned a new sub today!
Hmm ... would depend on what I was planning to use it for . For anybody who wants a really light , solid , backpacking chair that is minimalist . That is way better than a ground , rock or log . The Helinox Ground Chair . It sits really low , and is hard to get in & out of . But , is great after a long day hiking . About 23 oz . Nice review as usual ! Can't wait for the Van video ! I just went to Ford last week about ordering one , Reg roof 4x4 . They are NOT taking orders right now , which is OK . Cause I'm stuck on going Turbo 6 , or normally aspirated ??! Be safe out there ... gubs
I was looking at getting one of the originals. Just like many in the chat, i was afraid the original would be too small. Glad I waited. Thanks for the info!
Great review I prefer the high back to support upper back and my neck I prefer comfort
i own the short one and its a great chair
Thank you 👍. Re: high back … I can see getting a small pillow that hangs over the bar on high back (the kind of small neck pillows they sell to hang over back of recliners.) Maybe One Tigris could make / sell as an accessory??
No.. the original suits every one of my needs and wants.......... there light, portable, comfortable, strong, easy to keep clean and they look good... at least the multi cam!!!!I love the pockets on the side perfect for my phone and other edc gear that's in my pockets...... the only gripe I have is..... there should be a easier way to assemble them with maybe sewn in pull tabs on all 4 connections....... and maybe wider feet that can be put on the bottom if your setting up somewhere where it's muddy or loose ground...... but other than that...I love mine
I go motorcycle camping, but still would go for rhe lighter and importantly smaller version
Ah, thank you for doing a review on the high back version- I’ve been waiting to finally grab a chair like these but then I noticed everyone has started making high back versions of it- and to be honest, the way you were positioned sitting in the high back chair looks more like what I’m looking for- I don’t mind extra weight & a few inches if it means I can lean back a bit and not have poles poking me in my arms lol.. You’ve made my decision much easier, thank you!
I've got the short one for fishing but I think I'll try the high back because the sides on the shorter irritate my upper arms.
I like the high back version, looks like it would work good for me being over 6' tall. Great little review Luke, hope you guys are having a safe trip. Cheers
I have the helinox 0, love it
I've got the ARB 4x4 Touring folding chair with real arm rests. That's the one to get.
A little bit of creative leatherworking or sewing, and one could redesign the sling in the lowback to a more teardrop-like form.
