Camping Chairs

[SpitzoMT]

The wife ordered a few of the zero-gravity camping chairs. Having not had any serious butt time in one yet, my first impression is that they're well built, sturdy, & quite comfortable. Anyone have a hands on review for them ?? Thank you & take care !!

Re: Camping Chairs

When I go to buy something new, I hit the Amazon reviews to see what people are saying. I'll usually skip the 5 star reviews and go right to the 1 stars to see if there are any consistent issues that will make me think twice about buying. Well... being the comfort driven camper I am, I looked at the zero gravity chairs and didn't like what I saw. I always take reviews with a grain of salt because I know there are people who just don't know how to take care of anything, but ripping grommets, bad locking mechanisms and people falling down were enough to make me look elsewhere. I know you probably don't like seeing this considering you've got some on the way, so my advice would be to check 'em out thoroughly before deciding to keep them.

I have a Cabelas model. I take it every time I camp. You will to. After a long day a favorite beverage and my chair make for a great night by the fire.

Re: Camping Chairs

I bought a couple from Dicks Sporting Goods. They are really nice, and I like them a lot. Course, someone else likes them to, cause they stole one from me while I was sleeping. First and only time anyone has ever stolen something from me while camping.

I have one and I like it. The locking mechanism is a pain - it's hard to lock and unlock when I am in the reclined position (which is when you want to lock it). I have had no problems with grommets or falling out of it (perhaps that has more to do with the liquid refreshments while reclining ). I do find it much more comfortable than my other camp chairs, but it also takes a lot more room in the clipper.

We needed some that could support over 300lbs. Kotulas was one of the few that had zero gravity chairs that went that high on weight. I really like that they have a zero gravity love seat too that can support 600lbs

Nearly got those! They happened to be sold out when I was buying. The Kotula zero gravity is 330 lbs and is 50 bucks. I liked it so much I ordered the love seat, too. Mine are dark brown btw. As toedtoes said, they take up a bit of room inside the travel trailer, but I can leave them outside when camping as they are a web material, not the canvas type. They just need wiped down if rain or dew. These are great for a nice big nap. I have the Coleman chairs which I use when I solo tent camp, but my husband has difficulty getting out of them. He can use the sturdier armrests on the zero gravity chairs to lever himself out of the chair.

Re: Camping Chairs

The zero gravity chairs are comfortable as all get out but they weigh a lot. I recently purchased a picnic time sports chair with a side table. The chair seems sturdy but tends to prop you in an upright position. I read good reviews prior to buying it. Some extended sitting time will be the real litmus test however.

Re: Camping Chairs

Thanks for the replies everyone !! We received the chairs & all I can say is.....WOW !! These things are above & beyond the chairs we've had for years. I set it up in the house in front of the big screen & sat in it on/off throughout the day. Very comfortable & easy to get up out of. Didn't have that my butt's almost on the ground & my knee's are at my chest feeling. Looking forward to some butt time in it next to a nice cozy campfire. Hopefully soon..........

Damn. Went to take a look at 'em, instantly thought they'd be something nice to have when I read this:

"AS OF 6-11-2014, SLING-LIGHT© Chairs are no longer available.
We will not be taking any more orders for Chairs."

Considering they'd been manufactured since 1977, I'm curious what happened on their end to discontinue them.

Oh, that's a shame.

Re: Camping Chairs

We won four of these in a photo contest hosted by Eureka!

I wouldn't pay that much otherwise, but they're awesome chairs.
