Best folding camp/travel chair? (1 Viewer)

[E-Z Glider]

Got several of the standard crappy folding chairs but these things are terrible for your back/posture. Is there anything out there that folds up like this that's actually comfortable?

Looks like just a better made version of the chair I linked above. Im assuming it still has the same problems for your back/posture. Looking for something with a different design where the backrest and seat are not connected.

This is my favorite camping/folding chair.

This chair is much more rigid than others. It works more like a regular chair than the others.

I always thought that those Air Chairs REI sells look luxurious... not sure how practical they are though.

Using this chair now for camping and it is way better for my back. The table is surprisingly useful as well. It doesn't pack up quite as small as a typical camp chair but it's not like i'm backpacking with it anyways.

How the hell are you guys' backs acting up after sitting in a sling camp chair for a couple nights?!

Looks comfy, but need something up off the ground. REI has a nice selection though. This might do the trick?

Old? Lazy? Out of shape? My daughter has softball from 12-5 every Sunday. After slouching in those chairs for 5 hours while staring at my phone for football updates, my back hurts. Just seems like there should be something better out there.

I've seen a couple models of chairs like that, they all look like what you are after, none of which really fold up well - shouldn't be a big deal if they have a strap or a handle though.

This is what you want. A little bulkier than some of the others but easily the most comfortable camping chair I've tried.

These are awesome, just too low (sometimes you have to sit behind people).

I actually used mine as a cot this past weekend on a surf-fishing trip. Just reclined back, wrapped up in a sleeping bag, and slept right on the beach.

Finally someone got it right for the comfy chair. Looks like the same thing from Cablea's.

Or for you old folks.

I tried many over the years. I have a very bad back and could find nothing suitable until i broke down and got this one for $80 at cabelas.

Is more comfortable than most of the chairs in my house. I can sit in it all weekend with no back pain.

The downside is its heavy and cumbersome. Even folded up its big and a pita to transport and carry. But it's by far the most comfy and least pain provoking I've ever used. It's also on sale now for $50. I'm tempted to get a couple more at that price. I've had it a couple years now and its still like new. Very well made.

Are you seriously asking if there is a folding chair that you can comfortably sit in for 5 hours straight?
