Big Agnes Camping and Hiking: Deals

How will you use the chair? 

• If you plan to take it backpacking, weight and packed size are key.  

• For car camping, picnicking, or sitting in your backyard, pick a premium chair that's bigger and as plush as you'd like. 

Chairs for backpackers  

• Camp stools: the lightest and simplest option of all— light but with no back rest.  

• Two-legged chairs: Your feet act as the front feet of the chair, which saves weight and lets you rock a little.  

Pick a camp chair style 

• Classic camp chair: has four legs, a straight back and a flat seat. Afforable, stable and typically high enough to sit down and stand up with ease. 

• Low chair: a chair with four short legs that’s good on uneven ground. 

• Suspended chair: a newer, more pricey style; sitter suspends from the chair frame. 

• Scoop chair: resembles a sling. Good compromise between lightness and comfort. 

Other features to consider:  

• Price often reflects the quality of the frame and fabric material. 

• Pay attention to extras such as cup holders, footrests, head and lumbar pads.
