Great are they pretty light and compact, suitable for hiking or just car camping

I have one for kayaking and camping. It's great. Mine was £16ish.
I cut some holes in tennis balls for soft ground. But got some walking stick rubber feet from Wilcos that stay on there all the time as the
feet it comes with are about as fat as the average pencil. The new ones go over the originals.
Time will tell how it lasts but for the money it has got to be a good buy. Better than 90 quid (Helinox) anyway.

I bought one from aliexpress for £22 and use it when I go wild camping ,I also use it when it's raining on its side within the tent to lean against while reading or eating . I have had it for over 6 months and have had no issue with build quality

Me and my lad went somewhere to camp last year, I forget where... but someone had one there. I'd ask him where it was, but he's in a mood because I won't take him camping next week.

Anyway, it seemed a great chair until the evening... much hilarity followed after a few beers as the occupant of said chair fell out of it... a lot! Whether it was the chair or the alcohol... will never know, but I bought some mini square-folding chairs after that... they're tiny (meant for kids really) but work well as light weight camping chairs for temporary sitting.

Matt (not sure of his forum name) from Chesterfield had the most luxurious camping chair I've ever seen on another trip out (to Matt's woods as it happened)... that thing looked comfortable enough to sleep in!

I've had the exact same chair for 4 years now. Love it! Very lightweight though everyone looks worried when I sit on it as they think it'll collapse!
Only problem was at this year's Glastonbury where it would sink I to the mud but that's more of a place problem rather than the chair.

It's £20 here on ebay

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/121859604003

However have a look around aliexpress & banggood. I also bought a headrest in the same design for about £10

£10.56 delivered. I have to say thought that it's a bit scary lol your head goes further back than you think would be safe but it's still working for me

Thanks for the link Q_S. Does it fit quickly and easily on to the chair ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/121859604003 )

How useful do you find it and do you recommend it quidditys_shore ?

Ta for any input you may have.

It's really easy to fit. It has 4 connectors (2either side) which just slide down either side of the uprights on the chair.

It's a bonus. I tend to use it mainly without but that's because I'm trying to save weight lol
