Camping Chairs - Which one?

eamon

Hello Folks

I go to 3 music festivals per year, 1 small, 1 medium and 1 huge (Glasto). For the small & medium I take a folding armchair (you know the type the ones with a drinks holder) they are great, comfy and fine for the camp site & watching the bands play. Glasto is a problem. Its a huge festival, gigantic crowds, vast distances between stages and an equally vast distance back to the tent. I feel that carrying an armchair around is just not appropriate given it's weight and bulk. Last year I tried a "tripod" stool. In my opinion they have been designed by the devil, comfy for about 30 seconds any longer and it became torture.

This year I need a better chair/stool to lug around Glasto. I need your help in finding a better solution for my sitting down needs. For your info I'm 5'11" and 14.5 stone.

Look forward to your replies

We went through the same problem as you last year - spent all afternoon in a camping shop trying all the chairs. Some comfy (too heavy) some OK but not substantial enough.

Ended up with Lafuma, quite expensive but very light and super comfy.

Bought direct from Lafuma UK - cheaper than the online shops at the time.

All the best.;)
