Your camping chair

[Nomad]

Hope everyone is managing to keep dry. The Sunny Coast is bloody wet and I only just escaped from Gympie this morning......those poor bugger are going under again.

Anyway I have been looking at camping chairs BCF, Evilbay wherever I can find them.

I would like to buy some decent chairs for the CT. A couple of years ago we couldn't get hire chairs for a staff party so I bought 25 or so of those sh!tty $5 that you can get from Bunnings / Supercrap etc.

As luck has it I have gone through a fair few / given a few away and now its time to buy something decent / comfortable.

I am about 6"1 and 80kgs and the misses hits the scales at about 54kgs. So we definatley don't need those monster ones that you can get from BCF. But I would like something decent that is comfortable, quality, doesn't weigh to much and folds up pretty compact.

Also, we carry one of those poly tables with the fold out legs, again Bunnings $40 to $50. We like the table because of it size, but its too high to sit at with a camping chair, particularly the kids, so I guess will cut the legs down, when I get some new chairs.

Would love to hear about what you take to sit on camping.

Cheers
Nomad.

Oztent 'King Kokoda'

Very very comfortable, only problem is everyone wants to sit in my chair now and the moment I get up someone else is in it.

Oz Tent King Goanna. Very nice but a little on the heave side due to the steel legs. 5 yr warranty.
Also have a sheepkin overlayed on it as I am getting older...
Someone also sits in it when I get up also...

Another vote for the goanna, if i got out of mine at xmas it was always a fight to get it back, I might just have to buy one for the boss when the new camper comes along

I have a goanna too. Got it at the Queanbeyan 4wd Spectacular this year after my over well loved chair broke on the last morning of our last camping trip (thankfully). Sat in this one and it's brilliant. Good back support and so comfortable.

We have a OZ Tent King Kokoda Chair and love it. I found this one just a little better for sitting at a table. But did really like the King Goanna.
I also found a near exact copy at Anaconda. It was half the price and the only real differences are colour, bag and it only has one drink holder.

X4 the goanna great chair +lumbar support bought two so no fights!!
cheers B whale.

[Doug.b]

I have two of these, http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/products/Coleman-Foxy-Lady-Relaxer-Chair-Black-Gold.aspx?pid=167583&menuFrom=511102#Description
Pack up compact and very comfortable, I prefer chairs with solid arms

[Kit_e_kat9]

We have these for lounging in ... they allow you to lie back ... I'll admit that they don't fold up to the smallest size, but the comfort outweights the storage difficulties you may experience ...

And these for either sitting at the table ... or resting your drink on beside your comfy chair.  These fold up flat and about 30cm long and 15 wide ... about 5cm high.  Our table is thicker.

Gee, based on all the comments, I think I gotta get me a couple of those Goanna chairs now!!

[SUPA105]

Got the goanna chairs here as well......hard to ignore the amount of comments on the oztent chairs.....me thinks we have made your mind up for you.

Cheers

We use to buy new chairs every year until we got these ...... you can't go past the Coleman Big Foot

We've got one of the ARB hard-arm chairs, and a Coleman Big Foot chair. The ARB chair is fantastic, and I'm not allowed in it during the day. However, once the sun goes down the aluminium arms get cold, so I get turfed out of the other chair at that point.

I would recommend either of them. Also, when I grow up, I want a King Goanna chair. The adjustability on them is excellent.

Good luck!

x eleventy.. had to buy another and 2 more for mate of mine and his missu

[Jaashjr]

And yet another vote for the Goanna,  I have one and it is by far the best chair I have ever sat in.  I found when I stuffed the bag inside the headrest it was too large and when I took it out the headrest was too far back, I have cut a piece of 2" thick foam that I place in the headrest (it fits in the bag when packed up) and it is absolutely perfect now!!
