I'm not a fan I had one but it just made my back hurt badly and found it very uncomfortable, others it might be difference and I do suffer with my back anyway so you might be fine with it.

It was very well made though mate and I don't think you will be disappointed with the build quality if that's the kind of chair you want

I did lots of research into a non carp tax branded fishing chair ,which was compact, lightweight and very ,very comfy..

I've even tried a TB guesti ,after lots of deliberation I got a Helinox chair one xl,in forest Green..

It's one of my best purchases,it's super light,extremely comfy,fits into a porterlite barrow bag ,or you can wear it round your neck..
It will also butt up against your bedchair in a bivvy or shelter..

I'm known for not taking much kit either on a overnighter, and days,...that chair comes out everytime..

The chair one is also great,but more compact..Helinox is great gear..

Hello mate,the one I have and like,is the Chair one XL,..its very comfy,...the legs are thicker than the standard Chair one ,versions,...

Do you remember the Fox mud feet,well on the smaller ,thinner legged versions ,ie the standard Chair one,there is a product that stops the Chair sinking in wet or boggy ground..I made my own for the XL,but not had to use them as yet,and I've had it 2 or
3 yrs..

What either version you like they are both super ,super strong.....and the Helinox versions are far ,far superior to some of the knock off versions,I had a knock off,it was good though I can't remember it's name atm..it was better than some of the others by far..

Helinox is not cheap,it's a superior product..

I had a bedchair buddy,gave it away,have a guesti Chair,by TB,about to get what I can for it..what I'm saying is..want a nice comfy chair to sit out side and view the lake,or take for minimal day sessions,or camping ,or in your shelter when weather is poor..Helinox is all that...are the legs adjustable, no..they aren't, it not an issue as the chairs 'give' a bit..

Would I buy a chair branded chair after sitting on Helinox, no,there is no comparison..

All the above is just my humble opinion ,based on someone who spends 99% of his life ,shooting fishing or wild camping

Hope that helps..

Ps,the knock off I had was called Trekology

I am not doubting what your saying you obviously know your stuff but they just don't look comfortable they look feeble I remember I sat on one in Cotswold outdoor years ago and I thought I was going to fall out of it I am attracted to one because the light weight will need to have another look

OK mate,let me know ,remember the XL version is taller ,and thicker legs,..they do,Helinox ,one called Sunset chair,that's got a head rest,...

If I bought again,I'd get XL ,but a chair one for camping,and eventually Brompton bike packing...,hopefully..

Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the replies this far

I'll add I want this more for camping and the occasional day fishing as I'll revert back to my solar chair for fishing - just looking for something fairly light that I can carry around hence the nash looked ok and as I have a £100 voucher to spend thought I may as well get a carp one

Not fussed on the size just want to know its better than the generic camping ones really

I've got the low one at a bargain price, so I may not be as critical as others. Its a really comfortable chair, but big and not something I would want to carry around on short sessions. Maybe if you make some straps around the legs you could carry it around your neck (its lightweight anyway) but I'm in no need as I fish from my boat. It doesn't have adjustable legs either, so that's something to think about.

Despite some bad reviews, each and every person around me tries to steal my chair when I'm not looking, which says enough.

I use the high one and its the most comfortable thing I've sat in. Heavy for days sessions, but if you're using a barrow it doesn't really matter. The comparable camping ones aren't that much cheaper, and are bright colours (I used to use my daughters pink camping one!). The fleece edge to it is a nice touch. I have got a knackered back as well, so like being able to drape my legs over it when sitting sideways. First bit of Nash tackle I'd recommend since the AKN's!!

Only thing I'd say is keep the plastic spreaders lubricated or it can be a mare to collapse.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
