Hi all,
Im looking to buy myself a new chair, and cant decide between the Solar SPC - Tech recliner High, and the Nash indulgence big daddy long legs?
Any feedback or recomendations would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards & tight lines Harry

I've just bought the SP Low and whilst I like it (in terms of back comfort compared to the Trakker Levelite Transformer I was using) I've found the following -

1 - The folded footprint is larger / more cumbersome esp cos it has arms
2 - Its significantly heavier
3 - I still haven't worked out the ideal leg extension for comfort on flat ground (its not aligned like other typical chairs)
4 - The fabric and surround 'eats' boilie crumb / dirt which worries me when its in the garage being stored - had a Nash chair (original Indulgence Wide Boy sub lo) with a similar surround and it got chewed
5 - Could be a bit narrow for fat boys - I'm 6'1"/16stone and its fine but just saying . . .

Other than that its a great day chair and the added lumbar / headrest pillow is a godsend, especially when in full recline / nod off mode - clip on man bag is a bit of a waste of time but others may find it useful . . .

I like the bag - I put all my non-fishing bits that I want to keep handy, in it - permits, rule books, mobile phones, power bank, cables, batteries, chewing gum, glasses / sunglasses cases etc...

Once the chair is up then clip it on, nothing gets mislaid (in theory).

I also find the bag useful - allows me to keep things like a battery pack, snack/drink, book, phone or other personal items that I want close.

I have owned BOTH and the Solar is streets ahead the Big daddy was when it was first released and after 2 x 14 day French trips
I came to the conclusion it was a waste of money and got rid reasons at around 16 to 17 stone
it was sort of alright for around 2 weeks never that comfy
but on the second trip the seat went flat and it was like sitting on a friggin board by the end of the 4th week !!! the Solar recliner High is in another class all together IMHO as I am to old to struggle to get out of low chairs and like to doze off in complete reclined comfort

If you want to save a few bucks, have a look at the Sonik SK-Tek Recliners.

I've got one, they are only suitable for flat and level banks. The extending legs slide back in under any weight on them. If the bank slopes towards the water forget it, your front legs are useless.

As others have said including me just get the solar job done
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
