@Ryan_Songhurst I saw one in Bivouac and it looks pretty small and expensive. @dannyb looks like a big guy - it would be too small for him to be comfy wouldn't it?

I agree, the cheap Katmandu/Warehouse etc ones are all you need.

Yea, I got suckered into the "gimmick factor" as had a $600 gift voucher, bought some boots then decided I needed that chair to finish off the credit on my voucher. Its OK I suppose if you were doing a big walk in trip for multiple days and decided you really wanted a chair to sit around in but although it states it has a 120kg limit you kind of feel like it's going to collapse at any minute and use energy and muscle function to kind of hold yourself steady in it. I'm 87kg so not near its limit but it's definately not a rock solid platform at my weight.
