5 star73%4 star18%3 star9%See all verified purchase reviewsGood but needs intelligent improvements|Very good solid product. Great fishing chair/packOrder arrived earlier than expected. I was expecting Jungle Camo, and got dark green.As the first reviewer stated, there is plenty of room. I purchased this specifically for fishing. At some fishing holes here in southern cali, sometimes you need to rush your gear to get the good spot. This saves me from having to carry a chair and cooler. One trip from car to spot. Chairpak on back, rods in hand.Side note: I sometimes use my Guide Gear 5-Rod/Reel Case (with bait on). It can get pretty crowded some days, and being able to cast while everyone is still setting up is nice. I like to always have bait in the water and on those miserably cold windy days, this case is great for keeping dough bait from drying out. (Guide Gear® 8' 5-Rod / Reel Case)On the ChairPak, there are 3 bigger main compartments, largest one holds a couple of tackle boxes and about a dozen powerbait jars and still has plenty of room.
The larger storage box is a Flambeau Zerust Tuff'Tainer #5007 14.25x9.125x2 (the only one I have found so far that fits powerbait jars)(Flambeau Outdoors 5007 Tuff Tainer).The middle compartment has the removable cooler bag, I am going to reserve this for food and drinks. I can fit 4 soda cans and 3 water bottles in the cooler bag, as well as keep them cool with a sheet of Flex Freeze Refreezable Sheets inside the cooler bag (Flexi Freeze Refreezable Ice Sheets 3 pack). The cooler back fits in the middle which has a convenient half pocket on one side which fits 2 sandwich plastic containers. There is also still room in the middle pocket for other snacks.The third smaller pocket, I have put my stringers, gloves, pliers, and anything I need to get at real quick. There is a fourth smaller pocket on the very front that holds my ipod, headphones, etc.On the outside, I currently use one of the side drink pockets and a strap to attach my folding net (Frabill Folding Net with Telescoping Handle (18 X 16-Inch)).
Using some larger caribiners I have attached 4 rod holders (showing two), and a thermos.As far as material, it seems to be made of decent material. I usually just load it at the front of my exposed truck bed out of the wind. I wouldn't recommend loading any pack where its exposed to freeway speeds such as roofrack or near tailgate. I don't plan on overstuffing it with heavy weight. The amount of stitching and the design of the seat is impressive. It looks and feels like it can take some weight. There is a adjustable strap under the seat to change the seat position.I purchased this for fishing, with the idea of carrying the least amount of stuff/weight. As a chair it was not easily tipped over, even with the pack loaded and in gusty wind. I like the horizonal feet, as these don't really sink into the ground. I sit on it more than I backpack with it, so I can't judge on comfort when long-term carrying.It would be nice to have a series of loops along the back and front ridges to weave ripcord/bungee cord throughout for further flexibility.
To complete this rig, I plan on 1) finding a rain fly/cover 2) attaching a rod tube/case externally 3) better way to attach net 4) Attach collapsible fish basket. 5) packable rain jacket/pants or attaching a packable pullcord bag for shedding heavier outerwear when the sun comes out. 6) attaching pair of boots.Upon notifying the seller that I received the wrong color, I recieved a call from ChairPak the very next day, and was later followed up with an email. ChairPak was willing to send another right away, but since I had already used it that morning and found it useful, I decided to keep the green, and will be ordering another for my son.I've taken this on 5 fishing outtings so far, and all is well. I like the grab-n-go aspect, especially when you want to walk to another spot without it being a big production. For my purposes and the price, this product seems to fit my needs perfectly.Great Product For a Bow Hunter|My Reliable Fishing Companion: The Chair-Pak|Chair-Pak CompanyImprove your aim with Chair-Pak!

"Everyone that sees my setup is still really receptive to it and quite curious. So many people walk up to me, wrinkle their eyebrows a bit, and say, “Wait…
So, is that a chair and a backpack?" And of course I stop whatever I’m doing and show them every bit of it.
