I've never been anywhere where I've not been able to use it that includes camping on cliff edges to non commercial coarse ,and commercial lakes ..

Used one for nearly 7 yrs without issue at all ,

Think I'll try one of the cheaper options & see how I get on, not sure how it will cope with sloping banks.
Thanks for the reply

Found one on Amazon that has some adjustment on the legs so going to give it a try.
Only doing days & loath having to use the barrow so trying to cut down on the crap i take, every little helps

Have you got a link for the adjustable leg version plse mate?

Can these Helinox type chairs be folded with the material in place ..... i dont mean folded into tiny package, just folded for throwing on a barrow or putting under a vehicle etc ... or do they always need to be totally dismantled?

Yes ...

Mine goes under my bechair ,when all four legs including the vibram ball feet ,are taken out of the elasticated frame ..

I keep mine as above ,on day sessions ,in my speedflex 1kilo unhooking mat..


When you first use the chair it will virtually set its self up...just add cover..

Sat on mine ,right now ....drinking in the atmosphere,.

Looks reasonable


Also, if anyone has any suggestions for the original question that are normal chairs, I'm still interested lol.

I had been considering a fox duralite but the new version has curved leg and back bars so no longer folds nice and flat which is what I was after on top of being lightweight like active / Phil asked. (i do have a onetigris chair like is being discussed but being a bigger guy, i do prefer a normal chair)

Korum Supa Lite Stretch chair is very light at 2.3 kg.. It might be worth a look. I don't have any experience with it though.

JRC Stealth XLite is 3kg if you can source one. I've pimped mine for rivers / sloping banks with super long front legs (the mech is pressure fit so no springs / complex release mechs etc) so no reason why you couldn't do this for all 4x if you wanted more height - ali tube v cheap and easy to source . . .

Superb post.

Ultralight is a game changer.

I've been using the Helinox Cot Lite for a few years as my bed chair.

1.248 kg.

I've got my full session kit down from 35kg, which was already stripped back, down below 20kg.

Carp gear is going backwards in terms of innovation.

Bedchair for 20 somethings . . . .wait until you hit 50+ and tell me you're still using this!

70 this year Chris

Still got my original JRC TH Stealth Bedchair but also an all singing and dancing Nash MF60 sleep system which is uber comfy…..only problem is I need a Sherpa to lug it to my swim.

Getting old sucks

Outdoor Revolution Van Light Folding Chair 3D Mesh Diamond Anthracite only weighs 2.7kg .... I sat in one briefly at the weekend and it is indeed very lithweight and comfortable with relatively small packdown size.

Only one answer to that - power barrow. Will never return to pushing anything other than a airport luggage trolly . . .
