I have the same catches on some cheap chairs, they're a couple of years old and still work perfectly. Cheers Steve

Good to know bruv

Don’t wait any longer!!!!

I bought the King Goanna a few weeks ago and love it. I thought the softer arms were a little more comfortable than the Kokoda but yeah, personal choice. The only things I can criticize is what you said about size, but I just throw it up in the roof and it seems less of a size issue next to my stretcher and swag, lol. The other thing I wish was different is the pocket and drink holder, I'd like to put it on the left-hand side but again, personal choice or handedness. The lumbar system is a game changer, sooooo comfortable. And if I fold the chair's bag up suitably and put it in the headrest zip section, it really adds to the comfort and is a safe place not to lose the bag when out camping...only thing is, the first time I went camping with the chair, when it was pack-up time I forgot I put the bag in the headrest and spent the next half-hour wondering what I did with the (unrepeatable) bag, searching through my car and the surrounding bush 🤬 Haha, I felt a right twit when I gave up looking only to 'find' it when I couldn't work out why the (unrepeatable🤬🤬) chair wouldn't pack down properly 🤔🤣🤣🤣

Your right Karl, the lumbar support mechanism is the real trick here to being so comfy. If you're throwing it next to a swag, I'm sure it seems small 😁 I do now stick the bag in the head section but often forget to do it. I can imagine one day I will likely do the same and wonder where I put the bloody thing. Gave me a chuckle , because im sure it's something I will do.

Be careful of the poor quality nuts and bolts. They fall off and cause it to be unusable.

Love ur beautiful staffy 😍 I have the oz trail RV Jumbo and it’s just as good. Although I’m not sure they make them anymore.

cheers Mel. He is my buddy. getting a bit old and slow now though. but both of us are. I think I have more oztrail stuff than anything else. they do good budget type gear. I love the oztent stuff too but it's a bit more pricey.

Great chair, the pocket with the zip is for putting the carry bag in to give you a pillow.

Which one do you have mark? I tried the geckos which a mate had but didn't find them as comfy, BUT I didn't mess about with the straps because they weren't my seats. I'm wondering if adjusting them would have made them feel better to me like this one did. they had a table as well, which would have been nice

Cheers Chris, is there any chance you posted that silicon tip on a review somewhere ? I looked at heaps of websites and spotted that same suggestion . Any chance that was you too ? I've been looking for THE camp chair for a long time and committed myself to finding a good one every chance I got. I'm pretty pumped with this one if you can't tell. If there is something better than this one out there, I wanna know because I'm not sure there is.. that's subjective of course.

Theyre a great seat but anything over about 100 bucks it starting to get up there for a seat. Do it and let me know when it's up. I'd like to see your opinion. cool channel name too.

good review.. have you tried the aldi camp chairs? heavy duty, surprisingly cheap and with the same lumbar setup.. ive had a couple for over 3yrs now. theyre a good size for us of "sizable stature" as well ;)

Hey Joel, No I haven't mate and didn't know about them. I'll be keeping an eye out though and checking them out next time theyre on. What's the rough price do you recall ?

This video is already fairly old but the chair is still sold actively. I came to comment just to point out that in case you had not yet figured it out, the zip pouch behind your head is to put the bag inside to act as a pillow.

I found your video, nice review of the chair, looks like was done in 2019. How's the chair held up and is it still your favorite chair? I've been looking at one of these chairs but a bit pricey so wanted to do a little research before shelling out $ for one.

I take no responsibility for the level of trouble you're in with the missus. You're on your own there. If you try them out, make sure you play with the buckle system on the side. There are cheaper variants in the same range of you want to save a few bucks. There was an rv model and an rv sport or something. I think they were a bit lighter weight too. Let me know what you end up going with and what you think

Not happy with the quality. The nuts fall off and then the bolts fall out. Causing a useless thing to carry round
