Yes, but now I'm old I cant carry the heavy comfortable crap. So I'm having to go back to light and minimalist like when I was a kid. Then I couldn't afford the good stuff, now I can't afford to carry it too.

Apparently the Solar Sofa chair and the new Fox chair weigh the same at 5.9kg, only 1.7kg more than the Fox Duralight. I'm sure my old Fox chair can't be far off the Sofa but it's far less bulky.

I was hoping to try one out but no one has them on stock near Southampton. I don't fancy getting one on line without trying it. Anyone know who's got them in stock ?
Quite a few have said the same, ended up buying anyway and have been happy they did.
I do understand though, personally I wouldn't but the Mrs said she'd use it if I didn't like it, as it happened she took it anyway
My only critique, I found the very front edge annoyed the ligaments behind my knee as you really do sink into it. We both prefer to use it with a cushion.
I really want a high back myself but I'm sorely tempted by the Sofa Chair after trying/seeing/owning it.

What is the sofa chair like vs the C-Tech Recliner Chair (I have the Mk1 / Low version) in terms of bulk / comfort?

Comfier and lightweight,I slide mine down the back of my bedchair at night in my ultralite.I store my coat in it with headtorch on top so it's all easy grab if I ever do get a run in the night

I purchased the Solar SP-Tech Compact Sofa Chair CTCH02M recently only to find after using it for the second time one of the legs jammed . I could not get it into the closed position!. Buyers beware. Now in the process of getting it returned.

I'm sure I've read about another Solar leg jam but sure it was the SPCT Bedchair.

Chap on my syndi has one and he said ‘pick it up', so knowing what my CTech is like I braced myself and then proceeded to nearly throw it in the air 🤣 yes they are incredibly light

Not sure whats going on with solar these days but they get slated in the solar facebook groups, especially their power barrow.

The power barrow rear wheels are not fit for purpose at all and bend all over the place!
I have just bought a sofa chair and hopefully it's fit for purpose.

It's heavy compared to some and a pita if you walk and carry your gear, but it is incredibly comfortable and the fabric doubles as a bit of insulation this time of year.

The fox deluxe arm chair is even more comfy than the sofa chair.

I was opting towards the solar sofa recliner but heard a few people say the fox is better.
Anyone else had or tried both who can clarify?
Thanks
