    Another good review. As a person over 6 feet tall the high back chair is what I look for. The whole reason for any chair is comfort otherwise we’d just sit on the ground or some other suitable surface.

    I bought the Klymit Timberline, essentially the same chair-minus the side pocket. I’ve sat in it every day since July4th and am sitting in it now. The only thing I have negative to say is the high back allows it to tip over very easily.

    We have the Helinox Chair zero for me and my son has the Chair Mini. For car camping, Costco carries the "Cascade Mountain Tech Ultralight Highback Chair" for $30. It even looks just like the highback chair here. It even comes with a cushion. They weigh about the same.
    For backpacking, I carry the Chair Zero, at just over a pound, it's an amazing chair.

    After seeing your review of the regular OneTigris chair I bought one. I've used it around home, and on two multi-day backpack trips. I've got to say, it's an awesome chair. Thanks for the reviews. I think the high back version would make a nice car camping chair.

  • @kurtjensen7264

    I think the high-back version would be a must for a tall person.

    • @RMJ1984
      @RMJ1984 3 роки тому +1

      Even the high back is too small for a tall person. As someone who is 6"5. I would no doubt get backpain after sitting in either for more than 2 min.
      So funny how everyone tells you how cool is must be to be tall. Nope not at all, it's a pain in the life. Nothing fits, having to pick what fits you, instead of what you wants. Trying to find tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, that is long enough and can support your weight.
      I've had regular wooden / metal chairs collapse on me, because they are only rated for 100kg.
      The high life is the sad life ! lol

  • @FlashGeiger
    @FlashGeiger 7 місяців тому

    The high back I bought from a different company has a couple add-ons that yours doesn't have... a head pillow that velcros on, and a foot rest that clips on. I leave both add-ons at home when I paddle camp, but take them car camping. They do make it comfortable enough for a brief snooze. (When I backpack these are too heavy so I take a hammock chair if anything) I have a couple of the small chairs too. They just aren't really comfortable enough for us tall folks (I'm about 6'3"). I will take the small ones car camping for others to sit in.

  • @HootmonHarry
    @HootmonHarry 3 роки тому

    I have the shorter Camo chair that I took on a 7 week 10,044 mile motorcycle trip.
    I have large saddlebags and the chair fit in the top just fine.
    The chair is quality and sturdier than the cheaper chairs this style.
    I did use the side pockets to hold cozi's or to stuff the end of the bag in, so the bag wouldn't get last.
    The only thing I wish was that there were some plastic discs that would fit into those pockets that could be added to the feet to help the chair to not sink so much in softer ground. That's it, my only complaint, optional add on feet.
    I bought the chair based on you last review, and was happy with my choice.

  • @therealvirginiawind

    I have two regular OneTigris chairs. One I keep in my living room and have had it in daily use for about 6 weeks. No sign of wear and it's quite comfortable. The other I have in my truck camper for when I do overnights. Works really well for that because it stores in a much smaller package than a regular folding chair.
    Thumbs up on the chair and on your videos.

  • @jamesellsworth9673
    @jamesellsworth9673 3 роки тому +15

    Either one of these chairs beats sitting on a log or on a backless bench! Based on your review, I would opt for the high-back model because I am broad-shouldered: the cut-away shape would fit me better. For many years, I have owned a heavier fold-up chair with wooden armrests. A chair needs armrests to be truly comfortable. Realistically, I would not carry any of these chairs for backpacking. Chairs are for car camps.

    I'm finding that the longer I sit in my chair, the original, it seems to start digging in at the back of my armpits ( I'm 250+ lbs). If I knew they were going to be coming out with the high back I would have waited!! Hindsight....right!!

  • @andyfriend4649
    @andyfriend4649 3 роки тому +1

    These chairs like most others are missing an important feature, a sand cover ( goes over the feet to stop it sinking in soft soil or sand), I have a low back (OEX), and high back (Robens), chairs both comfortable and use the low back more often as the legs don't sink in the ground. 👍👍

  • @markrenfrow9873
    @markrenfrow9873 3 роки тому

    If you're not backpacking, and want a chair that's gonna last, check out the Kermit Chair. Made in Tennessee, and are perfect for motorcycle camping. Optional leg extensions make them as tall as lawn chair, easier for us old folks to get up and down. Price is double of the chairs in this review, but you only buy one.

  • @Ebola419

    I just bought a Helinox high back version. Just over 1 kg, and 140e 😅
    I tried the low back, but liked the high version because i'm able to rest my head, especially if I slide bit more downwards in the chair. Very relaxing! And I can use the carrying pouch as a pillow with something inside it. I like to use it to support my lower back.

    Pretty sure I ordered the lower chairs based on your review...couldn't find the highback on slamazon for quite a while. Now they do have it, in black, for $80 but I recently picked up their "Dragonhide Camping Chair". The new Dragonhide version has a removable pillow, bilateral cup holders, and can be used in either a "high" mode or by stowing the legs in a "low" mode for $70. Seems a no brainer. I definitely like the highback version better than the originial I purchased. The low back can be for the kids.

  • @JLStreetDoc
    @JLStreetDoc Рік тому

    Good review. This may have been said, but in regards to making the high back less high but keeping the shape, with the back being higher, you’re able to keep the top bar out of your back. It’s a little heavy for backpacking though.

  • @timfoster6892

    I have a standard model and a Big Agnes highback. The One Tigris products are heavier, but feel much stronger. The Big Agnes, which has been sold out all summer, is far more expensive and very light and comfortable. The Big Agnes collapses down to fit in a smaller bag, because each upright is two pieces and the bar beneath the seat is two pieces as well. I am happy with my purchases, however, I would recommend the One Tigris to others as it is cheaper, easier to assemble and feels more durable.

I just went to Ford last week about ordering one , Reg roof 4x4 . They are NOT taking orders right now , which is OK . Cause I'm stuck on going Turbo 6 , or normally aspirated ??!

Also, It is hard for me to get off the ground from a low chair or sit pad. It weighs 3lbs 14ozs and takes a few minutes to setup, but that is ok as it will keep me on the trail!

You’ve made my decision much easier, thank you!
