The perfect camping chair keeps you comfy wherever you go. Whether that means relaxing on your porch or cozying up near a campfire, your portable chair should fit your circumstances. Public Lands has options for any seating situation.
Weight Capacity
Most chairs support at least 200 pounds, but you can find rare options that hold up to 1,000. It would be tough to pile 1,000 pounds of anything on one chair, so capacities that high aren't necessary. It's best to choose a chair that will hold your weight plus a little extra.
Carry Weight and Packing Size
If you plan to carry your chair for long distances, you'll want something lightweight. Some options weigh under 2 pounds. Others weigh 20 pounds or more.
Packing size is another variable to consider, and it doesn't always shrink along with a chair's weight. For long journeys, pick a chair that will fit in your backpack. If you're staying near your vehicle, size and weight are less important than comfort.
Stability
Portable chairs are often used on uneven ground, making stability a concern. A couple of simple features can enhance stability: four legs and low seats. Some brands add extra stability features like grippy feet or adjustable legs.
