Now my health is improving
I decided I need a comfy chair that I can doze off in been thinking about the Solar SP C-Tech Reclining Fishing Chair High version for ages I dont think there is any other chair that compares ??
I like a high back chair that stops a cold wind from behind and a high chair thats easy to get in and out of and the fact it reclines is great
I just need to wait until this coming bank holiday where Im sure there will be some discount codes about
so if you see any good deals on one please let me know

Had the Sonik SK-TEK Recliner for about a year now. Pretty comfy and reclines to near horizontal. £79 at Angling Direct.

Fallen asleep in mine many a time!

Got the low version which is not that low . This is by far the most comfy chair I've owned and very well built 👌

Those were my thoughts when looking at the long legg version, I believe the Trakker recliner is quite a bit lighter but similar size. You can buy the Solar bolster pillow separately too if you want to stick it on the Trakker version.

As far as im aware the low version and the high version both have the same sized back. The only difference is the length of the legs. I have the low version and its easily the best chair ive owned in all the years of fishing.

The trakker is more than likely made from cheaper inferior components which is why its lighter than the solar chair.

So it's not made from better lightweight materials with a lower mark up then? God I wish you were the uneducated buyer in my day job 😂

Happy to be wrong normally it's the other way round the heavier it is the cheaper the materials it's like cycles the cheaper frames are very heavy the more you pay the lighter they are so I think that applys to chairs

I dont think the Trakker is much of a price difference ? I can get the Solar for tackle tavern £154.99 and the Trakker is only a fiver or so difference ?
AND as I have said I want the HIGH version and I dont think its as High ? also I use to own the standard Trakker longback chair it was comfortable but I sold it and they definitely do not last very long lots of people have had problems with the stitching and frames snapping but not heard of any problems with the Solar
I genuinely believe the Solar is a far better chair and NO I DONT want the low version I dont give a monkeys if you love your low version

I am short and have the high version, it's absolutely fine. I sat on every conceivable chair known to man and there's no doubt that the Solar was more comfortable than the rest, which was much to my annoyance as I was looking for something cheaper. Next best IMO was the Advanta (Angling Direct) one.

You won't be disappointed with the high Solar chair.

Of course its not, you cant be that deluded surely?! its trakker, its made from inferior materials with a stupidly high mark up so the complete opposite of what you think. Ive owned two trakker chairs and the frame snapped on one and the stitching went on the other one with months of buying it. Not had a single issue with the solar chair and had it well over a year.

You cant compare bike frames to fishing chairs. A full carbon bike frame is 1000's where a steel framed bike could be £100. Fishing chairs are more or less the same but some are definitely better than others ie, stitching, hinges, leg adjustment and the position and quality of the welds on the frame. If you take a proper look at the solar chair the frame is double tube not single tube like the trakker chairs which is one of the reason they weigh more and are much more durable.

I was just thinking of an example probably not a good one wasn't thinking carbon was thinking steel vs aluminium frames anyway as I said the solar is the best out there omho
Are you sure?
