***** UPDATE AFTER USING THE LARGE CHAIR MORE, THE HEADREST IS GREAT AND I WILL BE LEAVING IT ON. VERY COMFORTABLE ON THE HEAD OR NECK *****
Thanks, I just ordered the larger chair based on this review, and your discount code still works. Saved me a tenner.
Happy days. Yes the discount is an ongoing thing for any chair, sleep pads or tables. You won’t be disappointed. The newest versions are that little bit better too. Comfy and pretty compact.
Tenner in your pocket is better than someone else’s 👌🏻💷
I ordered the small new one and it’s fantastic - can’t wait to take it on my first overnight hike
Nice. It’s a great little chair, that is way more supportive than in looks. I have used it for a 3 day camp and comfy throughout. Enjoy 👌🏻
Great review! I also bought the old one, and need this comparison. Now I want to get the new chairs, especially the one with two cup holders.
Thank you. The small differences make all the difference. The biggest for me is the splits in the chair material. It makes the seat feel even more comfy.
The new one is good and the great thing is, you can have your current one as a back up 👌🏻
@@thebikepackingadventurer thank you for the info!
@@ryanyu5051 you’re welcome. I always search online for things I want to buy, so I hope this video and any past/future ones I make help others decide.
Good review!
I warn anyone that goes hiking/Backcountry camping that is willing to try taking a highback with them. Don't.
You'll never go back to the mini lites.
That being said. Worth while in my opinion. 1.5lbs extra for the comfort is worth it.
Thanks.
Yes I take comfort over saving grams usually. It’s more about space in however I carry gear mostly. As I’m a big guy the weight doesn’t affect me much, but everyone is different. Due to the accident I was in, sitting in a decent chair in the evening to recover/rest I like. If I have room I take the bigger chair, if not the smaller one comes with me. Both are comfy.
Multi day trips comfort and sleep are my priority, whereas just a single overnight camp I’m not too bothered usually
damn already ordered mine naturehike highback , it look similar ,just two extra bars for the armrest , damn it
Yes I have it out camping now. Such a solid chair and with the arms it very comfy. Send the naturehike back 😉😂
I love your video . 🐾🗺xx
Thank you. Was it the dog, the chairs or me that was loved?
@@thebikepackingadventurer You xxx🤪
@@laurenansell9914 Good to hear haha. Once the night time temperatures rise, I will take Poppy camping up near you, and she can be a guest on the channel, as long as she doesn't go all shy and silent haha xx
Looked at the helinox beach chair but at the 2 price points the smaller chair in your video looks to do the same job. Have you used it on sand yet?
Yes I have used it on sand. It does dig in a bit as expected on loose sand, but the feet are good in sand. The rubber ends to the legs can be removed so to stop them coming off in mud or sand I took them off and added a dab of superglue to mean they can’t come off at all. They are on tight, but best to secure them fully.
There is a video on here from someone else that made a canvas square that sits under the legs which stops the chair digging in the sand at all. Good little hack. Here’s the link

Thanks for your reply, love that little hack
No worries. Yes it’s a good option if going camping in boggy ground or more so to the beach. I still need to make one for mine from an old tarp I have
Are the drink holders big enough for the can/bottle with a cooler on?
A can is basically the same size as the holder, but as a bottle is smaller it would just fit in with a koozie on.
Although in the uk it’s rare we need one as not hot enough to worry about. Where are you from?
@@thebikepackingadventurer Australia, we definitely use them here 😄. Thanks for the reply!
@@swaggingsisters ah yes, 100% needed there. I have lots of family over there and if you don’t have your own personal one you take to parties, you’re just weird 😂. No worries
Hi watch your review do you think they can hold the weight up to 150kg. Do the feel s sturdy enough.
I think they would hold 150kg no problem, but would depend on the dimensions of the person fitting in it I guess. They are solid though. If you are considering buying, not sure another chair would be stronger that I know off. Discount link in description of you do 💪🏻
I'm about 110 kg at the moment and have just taken the small chair away with me and it was great.
The small chair is my most used chair, as it packs down way smaller. The larger Highback chair with arms tends to stay in my van
Look quality....except the feet, no good on a groundsheet or footprint?
The feet have large rubber stoppers to stop them digging in. Most of these type of chairs have a rubber cap to stop mud going up the tubes, whereas these have 40mm round feet to stop digging in. Should imagine no issue on a footprint as long as not constantly shuffling around. I should’ve done a close up of the feet to be fair, as they are better than any other chair I have used so far
@@thebikepackingadventurer Good point, and I did see them in your excellent film, but some chairs, even my cheapy Aldi one, have a mat base, that also spreads the load on sand and no probs at all on any groundsheet?
@@lauriebloggs8391 yes I think the movement to the square canvas that hooks over the legs is happening now with lots of brands
May as well go for a bigger chair if you're going to go that big.
The main difference is pack size but both are comfy and supportive. If I go bikecamping I take the small one to save a lot of space, hiking or van camping I take the big one as not struggling for space
The problem is with kilos is made in china not in America !
99.9% of things in this world are made in China, so not a bad thing, unless you are a full patriot and only buy american things I guess.
There are better out there, but for me nothing beats it for the money for comfort that I have tried, but that is not saying there isn't a better offering out there
Hi mate what’s your height? I’m 6ft6 do you think my head will be above the back I want to be able to lean my head back onto the chair
I’m 6’3” and the lower part of my head is on the top. You would have to scoot down in the chair to be able to fully rest your head.
