Big Agnes  Big Six Armchair

Bought these chairs for multi day river trips. I like how they are full sized chairs, with arm rests, and cup holders (large enough to fit my yeti tumbler!), yet they pack down and are wonderfully compact to put on my raft. A couple of things I wish were different about these chairs: 1. Larger/ deeper seat area as another reviewer mentioned. 2. Shoulder strap for carrying. 3. Quicker drying material. 4. Wish it worked better for putting in the river/ on the river bank the chair does not feel stable and torques and twists on any surface that's not level and firm. Maybe I'm asking too much of my chairs but at this price point, I do expect more.

Love this chair! I wanted something high quality that wasn't the typical "camp chair" you see everyone using. This chair is comfy and bigger than you think it would be. My favorite backpacking chair is the Helinox Chair Zero, and the Big Six armchair is much taller and bigger seating area than that chair. The cup holders actually work and the construction of the chair is super high quality. I appreciate the smaller pack size that makes it easier to load into my car or on my roof basket. It's kind of a lot to manage with the take down of the frame, but not the worst thing in the world. Definitely recommend when you can find one in stock!

This is a really comfortable chair that packs up surprisingly small. It's perfect for car camping and it gets almost weekly use at our kid's sporting events. One note - the folks who are complaining about the arms moving are not setting up the arms correctly (I did this the first time too and is easy to do). There is a pull tab that helps you create leverage to fit the arm frame into a designated slot in the fabric (easy to miss). The people who are mentioning that the arms are sliding around are actually putting the arm frame through the pull tab, and not into the slot in the fabric. If assembled correctly, the arms are rock solid and not an issue.

PLEASE USE THIS REVIEW NOT MY INITAL ONE I was looking for a comfortable chair that didn't dictate how we packed the rest of our VW Westfalia. I finally found it. I'll admit I did hesitate at first because of the price. But think cost VS value. I've wasted money on so many cheaper chairs that I won't use because they are either too bulky or just uncomfortable. The Big Agnes checks all the boxes. I'm 6'2" and 250+ lbs and this chair is very comfortable. .

One photo they put the arms on wrong. The tab loop on the fabric arm piece is to put your finger in or hold while you slide the metal arm piece into the fabric sleeve. They put the tab loop on the metal arm piece - oops! We have the Helinox Sunset chairs but narrower and not comfy after a while because your arms rest on you or they hang down. Not so relaxing! Love the chair arms! Yes a bit bigger packing it but car use it is great!

We travel in a VW Westfalia. I'm 6'2" 250lbs +. I was looking for a chair that was comfortable yet didn't dictate how I packed the rest of the van. Not field tested yet but a o far I'm pleased. One issue (other than price) is that I wish the arm rests would have a receiving pocket for the support that would prevent the rests from constantly sliding down. This doesn't seem to be well thought out.

I'm 6'3" 270 lbs and finding a comfortable, durable, compact camp chair has been a struggle. I'm digging I get the comfort of a large camp chair but it's still super compact. It's not difficult but it does take a couple seconds to set up, but that's a trade off I'm happy to deal with for the compact size.

This is my go-to chair for anything except backcountry camping. Easy to set up. Extremely comfortable with head support and a wide seat (does not pinch hips). Would definitely purchase again! At 3 pounds it is not the lightest, but this was a splurge purchase for comfort, not for UL.

I love my Big Agnes Big Six armchair. It combines the comfort of a large camp chair with the compactness of a backpacking chair. I added the insulated cover and some Chair Buddies for the chairs feet and its perfect.

Upgraded to this, love the design and arms with drink holders but the arms want to slide, will have to figure something out to keep the arms in place. Not a deal breaker but.
