Perhaps he can decide that as he would know what the banks are like where he's fishing just an option that might suit him.
Ive got two local rivers by me the Lugg and Wye, the Lugg you could use a garden recliner for most of it the Wye club stretches for a lot of that too, might be a bit different on the tidal Trent Gerry granted but 90% of all rivers you made that assessment based on where you fish no doubt.

Ive never really got mine wet but i can see what people mean as the padding has a mesh to it so the water will seep through the holes making it much harder to dry out but im always under a brolly if its raining so not really an issue for me. I wouldnt say it was a fault though as thats what makes them more comfy and you dont get a sweaty arse in the summer.

Don't forget I'll be coming up for a social at some point Gerry, you Rob and Stuart, I'll bring the rib eyes if you guys do the jacket spuds with cheese but you'll have to bring the bbq to cook on.

Thanks all. I haven't bought anything yet, don't need it until the start of next season so will keep an eye out for a bargain. Will look at and try and test out the Solar, Trakker longback and Sonik (I've got a bit of Sonik gear and it's well made).
As Gerry said, I do fish uneven banks so a proper adjustable chair is a must.

Definitely, haven't done a CF social since France 2005!
Some of my fish from a 20 hour session on the Tidal Mon-Tues this week. Soaking wet, muddy, had to use a rope and spike to get up and down to the water safely but well worth it. Barbel to 12lb and a PB 6.6 Chub. The Trent really is a special place though it's not always that easy. Was interesting as I used a few tips from the recent Frank Warwick Nash podcast and it really seemed to work well.

Just back from a day on my solar chair and its the most comfortable chair I've ever had definitely. I bought mine last summer and its relatively lightweight too compared to some. Not sure why it's so comfortable it just is! Love the easy arm recline too.

Wow, that's a great session and that chub fish of a lifetime.

brilliant session Rob well done mate ! as you say the Trent is an amazing place to fish even if the banks are such a challenge at times
thats why I do the near 300mile round trip to fish it a
This was from a few years ago (2017) but I only had two bites in that 48 hour session 1 night and 1 in the day on the middle Trent a PB Barbel 14LB.6oz and a PB Chub 6lb.4 ozs (GOLLY GOSH I WAS 17 STONE THEN !)
back on thread if it was me I would buy the Solar high version as it must have better leg adjustment length

That's that then, obviously I had no clue as to where he fished Gerry
Nice dog chub them, my best was a longtime ago on the Wye pre-baited for the week leading up to the season start and had god knows how many chub between 3 to just over 6lb.
Generally I'm fishing for the carp on the Wye when I do but not so much these days but in a way that I also pick up plenty of the barbel and chub nothing to have half a dozen of each in an evening raning between 2 to 5lb on the chuband then 2 to 9lb on the barbel double figure barbel on the Wye are not so common although they are about upto around 14lb if your lucky enough.

Nice way to finish the season that's for sure! There have been bigger Chub from the stretch and 8lb fish are in the Trent, for me I'm happy with this one but a 7 would be amazing.
@Gerry, cracking fish those mate, the Trent has really got into my bones and I'm finding it hard to fish Carp lakes nowadays. It's the sense of unknown and definitely a bit of intimidation there, especially this time of year. You have to respect it.

I tried out a whole bunch of chairs in the Tackle Box on Thursday and I thought the Solar was the best one.
