Tried this out at store. Very stable comparing to the other one which is $65 dollars right now here: https://www.macpac.com.au/macpac-lightweight-chair/117733.ht…

clearly youre not the captain,
How is it different from the $6 camping chair from bunnings?
i mean, $90 for a camping chair? seriously?This is for someone who packhike and cannot sit on the ground
Not at all. It's for people who love the convenience of having a really comfortable chair that packs away into a tiny bag that can be left in the car and pulled out when they're:
- at a mates house party
- having a picnic in the park
- visiting the beach
- at home hanging in the backyard
- camping
- needing extra seating in the house
- queueing for the latest iPhoneI've got 2 chairs and a matching table like these from helinix. 3 times the price of these Macpac ones, but worth every cent.
Mate, you are RICH.
Nope. I'm too poor to buy cheap crap.
Buy once, buy right.
Helinox were the only option at the time.
Meh
Fair amount of comment negs here
-Now waiting for people to chime in with positively raving testimonials
'This is part of Boxing Day Sales for 2023'
Getting it in early….
Boxing week? Boxing fortnight?
Which one of the two boxing weeks sales per year!
boxing match.
Note these are only 100kg rated - even if you're under that, doesn't speak much to durability IMO and might exceed the rating if your kid jumps on you. They also don't have pull tabs in the corners which are helpful for stretching it on the frame, nor cup holders like some do in this weight range.
If you're looking for something to throw in the car, you can find ones rated to 150kg with cup holders and pull loops.
If you want it for hiking, maybe consider the 3F UL which are a bit lighter (820g for medium size, though they are only 100kg rated like the Macpac).
EDIT: note, I'm referring to the Dyneema 3F UL chair, not their standard model. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001620423788.html
Looks like a knockoff helinox
really? which one?
The bunnings knock of helinox is actually really good. I bought 3 recently. They won't work for someone large 110kg+, but brilliant for keeping in the car for unplanned stops etc. https://www.bunnings.com.au/marquee-compact-travel-chair_p03…
Thanks for that.
Sir dis not deal. Just silly brand name and spikey le price. Get kathmandu ones they normally go for $45ish much sturdy last many year hi5. I go now
