What is a camping chair?
A camping chair is a foldable, portable chair that is lightweight and easy to travel with and carry around. It is not only suitable for camping, but also for fishing, barbecues, parties, picnics, outdoor concerts, sports games, watching outdoor films, etc. Thanks to its compact size when folded, you can always keep one in the boot when you want to sit outside or rest after a long hike or trail run. A sturdy, durable, and high-quality camping chair can make your outdoor activities easier and more comfortable!
Today's camping chairs are innovative in their design and have a variety of functions. Each of us has different needs, so the camping chair that is best for someone else may not be the best for you. The best camping chair for you depends on your unique needs. This buying guide outlines the main things to consider when choosing a camping chair to make your decision easier.
Before You Buy, You Need to Know What You Will Be Using Your Camping Chair for.
Fishing, camping, hiking, picnicking or lounging on the beach? If you're fishing, both folding and reclining chairs are great, with armrests and backrests to keep you comfortable while you wait for a bite. If you're camping, choose folding chairs or benches for short trips, or reclining chairs for longer trips. If you're car camping, comfort and durability may be more important. If you're backpacking, you'll want a lightweight chair that folds up small for easy portability. If you're going to the beach, choose a beach chair that sits low to the ground so you don't have to worry about it blowing away. Whichever camping chair you choose, make sure it suits your needs as well as possible!
Durability of the Frame and Materials
No matter what your camping chair will be used for, it is important to consider its durability. When measuring the durability of a camping chair, you need to look at the materials used in the frame, seat and backrest. The better the construction and materials used in the camping chair, the safer and more relaxed you will feel when resting.
WOLTU camping chairs are made of high quality metal tubing and are coated to prevent rust and corrosion.
A common material for the seat is polyester fabric, which usually has a water-resistant coating so that spilled drinks or rain won't damage the fabric. Good camping chairs are also treated with UV protection. This will prevent the fabric from fading over time. The fabric should also be strong enough to withstand a weight of at least 150kg.
Portability
Camping chairs are designed to be portable, and many come with a carrying bag to make travelling easier. However, the portability of different chairs varies greatly and you need to choose one based on your intended use.
Small, lightweight camping chairs are easy to carry and are ideal for backpackers or hikers. If you want a wider seat, more cushioning and more weight capacity, choose a larger chair, which can be heavy and difficult to carry, making it more suitable for car camping and backyard lounging.
Functional features
Camping chairs are not just for camping, and their functional features vary. Many camping chairs come with folding side tables, integrated cup holders, pockets, and some come with headrests, cushions, armrests, leg rests, etc.
Soft cushion
A padded camping chair supports your back and is softer and more comfortable to sit on, but be careful not to leave it in the rain or spill liquids on it.
Headrest
Headrest on camping chairs can provide extra comfort and support and can be removed or adjusted.
Armrests
The armrests allow you to rest and give your arms a support point, allowing you to relax better.
Footrest
It provides support for the legs and feet, allowing the body to relax more. The footrest is usually zipped to the seat and can be completely removed when not in use.
Cup holder
The cup holder can secure your drink while you sit comfortably, preventing it from being knocked over and allowing you to enjoy your drink with ease.
Side Table
Camping chairs with built-in side tables are perfect for holding drinks, snacks, books or magazines, and more during your outdoor adventures.
Camping chairs with pockets make it easy to store things like mobile phones, magazines, sun cream and bug spray, while still keeping them within easy reach.
Adjustable backrest
Some camping chairs have multi-position adjustable backrests, allowing them to switch between a seat and a recliner for customised comfort.
Carry bag
Most camping chairs come with a storage bag with straps to make the chair easy to carry and protect it from dust and damp.
