Bike camping chairs

[Crawdaddy 96]

I don't think those butterfly/balancing chairs are gonna work for this fat boy......and I'd prefer a backrest if possible...

Whats are you folks packing?

I know you want a back rest, but I LOVE this thing... small, light, and comfortable. Then again I enjoy sitting on my BMW panniers... no extra crap to carry.

I was looking at Todd's chair Friday. Nice Alite but not sure which model. He said it's more comfortable than the couch in his toybox. A little pricey but he said worth it. I just have the typical tripod so I may upgrade.

CDy,,

This is the One all the Camping Gurus are using. Just hook the loop on your bike bar end and you are set!

Or, possibly this is the current rave,,,,, http://www.rei.com/p...-bench-6-person

Doubles for those major trail-side repairs we have been reading so much of lately.

And all you folks ripping my two legged Butterfly Chair,,, You best buy one before they ( the man )

make them illegal. The special feature no one talks about is that it tells you when you have been having too much

fun! Don't we all need a talking chair?

The Helinox and rei flex lite are cheaper copies of the Mantis but I notice the Mantis has aluminum connectors at the bottom where the copies are plastic. My 215# sits in the Mantis but I paid $95 and that was on sale. Worth it to me, they are comfy and pack small.

You might think that but if you look at the specs the Mantis is rated at 250# and the Helinox is rated at 320#

I like the price and weight....not sure how small it'll pack down....

The one CiD pointed out looks like a winner in terms of stowage, weight, back rest......but it's pretty spendy.....

the pic of the stuff sack is 8" x 12" and I'd guess 2 - 3 inches thick maybe....? Dave..?

Mine measures 12" x 5.5" x 1.75 deep. The bag is a bit larger than the chair.

I'll post pics shortly.

This surprises me. The REI flex lite looks to be the same chair as the Helinox but is rated the same as the Mantis @ 250#.

Packed size for these is similar at 13-14" x 5"

You might laugh but before I bought my current chair I was thinking about getting one of these. I carry a small battery powered

inflator for my Big Agnus pad so I could use it to inflate one of these also. But I love the chair I have now so nobody gets to laugh

at me (at least not about my chair).

I have had the same thought.

I bought that thing. I used it once and got rid of it the next day.

The ubiquitous Kermit chair is the ticket to comfortable camp lounging. They also come with leg extensions and a cup holder.

I ride a 350 not a 1200 with panniers....less is more.....no kermit for me......too big/bulky

Tried out CiD's camp chair last night: https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Helinox/chaironemulticam/option/0

Small/light/surpisingly comfy....

I have used these on drop hunts (not this brand, but same idea). Better than nothing, but still on the ground... Super small and light though.

I too have the Big Agnes Helinox and used it this weekend while moto-camping at Pinnacles. My buddy had the tripod stool and was easily convinced to buy the BA chair. Packs small and even though I'm now camping off the GSA, it doesn't take that much space that I wouldn't take it on my WRR.
