I have 2 of these that I bought for $60 from Amazon several years ago. I use them all the time, and they are the best tailgate chairs I’ve ever owned.
The support system makes the chair feel solid all the time, never sinking in, easy to sit down and get up. One oversized cup holder and one regular means there is an easy place for drinks of any size.
The last time I bought chairs with good reviews I realized that I had overlooked one key feature: size. We were hoping to replace some nice Coleman chairs from 15 years ago, and while the Kelty chairs are nice, they’re significantly smaller than the Colemans. This results in a crunched-up posture that’s nowhere near as comfortable.
It is missing the most important image for me. What does it look like folded up in it’s case. I need to see because I will store it in a VERY small RV.
A note on the cupholder - this is not the “beach” version that sits lower and has different sized cupholders. This one has two small cupholders of the same size (3"), really only good for smaller cups and bottles. They won’t work for your typical “Yeti” tumbler. The beach version of this chair WILL handle a Yeti.
This is a “sling” chair so I would say you DO sink in, more of a lounging position. I prefer it over the stiffer regular Kijaro chairs, but if you want to sit up tall, this is not the chair for you.
I love these chairs (i have 2 each of both the beach and non-beach slings) but I will say that I’ve had two that the front cross support rivet broke ( I weigh 180). Pretty disappointing. I’d still buy them again though since they’re so comfortable.
My two chairs arrived today. One was in the factory box and the other was in a dirty carry bag with no box and the “rope” at the top that cinches down was cut (visibly frayed end of “rope”) shorter than the other one I received. I had to work to coax the chair out of the used bag while the other easily slid out. There was a red tag stuck on it. I am willing to bet it was an Amazon warehouse return and I was the lucky winner of the prize. Touching base with Woot CS soon…
