KlymitRidgeline Camp Chair - Grey

Wanted a highly portable chair to keep in the back of my car and this fit the bill perfectly. Packs down small and weighs nearly nothing. First couple times you use it, it can take a bit of brute force to get together and pull apart as the fabric is really tight but I chalk that up to a good thing rather than a flaw, tight tolerances and a solid feel when together. Very happy with it after a week and a handful of uses.

Comfortable, easy to set up and then pack away small.

The good news is that this has a high back with an inner horizontal support at the very top; and it stands high enough so that it's not as difficult to get out of as some of the other lower chairs. But the back angle is very shallow, such that it's a bit uncomfortable without adding a pillow at the back of your head while sitting and reading or conversing, and also easy to flip over backwards if you have a long upper body. It's also easy to flip the chair itself over backwards with your calves as you are standing up to get out, due to it's weight distribution.Assembly is as straightforward as any other lightweight chair, except that klymit decided to subtly curve some of the backstay pieces. It is frustrating to keep these oriented correctly while fitting on the cover. Last design goof is making the bag zipper unnecessarily short, so that's it's harder to pack this thing in. I guess I just expected something more thoughtful from klymit.

I love lightweight backpacking chairs. And among the lightest I use are a stool that is 12 ounces and a chair that is about a pound and a third. They are light, and I carry them on the trail.But neither of those are good chairs for long-term comfort or napping. I bought this Klymit high-back Ridgeline to use when campground camping, at airshows, and outdoor sporting events. While it is much heavier than my backpacking chairs, it is superb for these purposes.I was lucky to get it on sale for $30. I have used a lot of Klymit gear, and they have never disappointed me.

It's good enough if you want simple, but for this price point I'd expect more. I'm 6'1, 240lbs. I fit fine in the chair. Problems for me are no real arm support at all. I fill out most of the seat and there's not even a little extra to prop my elbows on. My head also hits the metal bar that goes across the top which isn't pleasant. It also falls back super easy if you're not sitting in it, but tilts forward easily if you ARE sitting in it. Sometimes it falls back when i stand up.Assembly was easy but annoying. Not sure what angle the bent pieces should be at. You have to make sure the top is fully attached or you'll never get the bottom points connected.Lightweight and sturdy in construction.If you're looking for a camping chair you can prop by the fire and take a nap in, this isn't it

I purchased this chair (well, two of them) for easy packing with a more comfortable seat than a tripod hunting stool. The chair rocks so far! Easy set up, but it does take a little muscle (not much). Comfortable and convenient!

Meant to be a camping chair, but once we set it up, it hasn't left the houses. Very comfortable chair and easy enough to set up.

Chair is light, compact and most of all comfortable. Head rest is high enough to fall asleep at camp or on the beach. (can confirm several times).My only downfall for the lack of five stars is I wish they had a pull loop on the corners as they are a little difficult to fit in the corner pockets during assembly.Otherwise this chair is excellent.
