The REI Hang Time Chair is extremely comfortable and ideally suited to car camping. It is one of those chairs that everyone will be trying to sit in, so lay claim to it early—if it belongs to you. I have covered my impressions of this chair pretty well in the pros and cons list. I don't have much else to add other than the fact that inserting the backrest tubes can take a little bit of effort for someone that is not mechanically inclined. But not a problem for the most part. No "killer" review here, just a picture, as requested. The info from the previous reviewers says it all. I found if I crossed my legs at the ankles and brought them in closer to the chair than what you see pictured I could reach a very stable equilibrium. It was so stable it allowed me to doze off! I originally purchased this chair for backpacking but I ended up using it for many other trips and events. I nicknamed it the "go anywhere chair." I was looking for a convenient, packs small, light in weight chair for backpacking and kayak tripping and the Alite Mantis Chair fit that bill.
Little did I know I would be using it for other types of trips and events. It has an aluminum frame that is color-coded and fast at assembly. It hold up to 250 lbs. and weighs only 2 lbs. with a packed size of… The Stansport folding aluminum chair is a backpacking necessity. Also usable as a nightstand, table, pack-rest. I've had one of these for 40 years. It's in the running for favorite gear ever. Back in the day they were steel, so they used to weigh more. These days they are one pound, give or take two grams. I use it as a pack rest most often. It helps to get a full pack on — and from knee height. Then, once your pack is on your body, just grab up the chair and hook it over the… An REI version of the Crazy Creek original chair, the Trail Chair is relatively lightweight and rugged. It supports my aging lower back, fits well in or on my packs, and has become a "comfort" item that rarely stays behind. I bought the REI Trail Chair almost three years ago for short "comfort" backpacking trips as my lower back started to cause more issues and sitting around camp became a chore at times.
The price of this chair is about half most others and I felt it was worth it to see if I wanted… Reasonably lightweight and compact when rolled up. Comfy to sit on, but fussy to setup, and because you need your sleeping pad to sleep ON, it's kind of inconvenient. Okay, it is a good product, but not a great product. Here's the good: it's reasonably lightweight enough for backpacking (but not for ultralight fanatics). And, once it is set up, it IS comfortable and easily adjustable for your body weight and how upright or leaned-back you want to sit. Note that this does NOT have legs. and I love it! It only weighs 3 oz and it is very comfortable! I got this as a FREE gift and I love it! I take it with me on every trip. It folds in half or in thirds, it's pretty amazing. It fits in my sleeping bag under my head or on top of my sleeping pad for extra head cushion. I usually roll it in thirds and put a clean shirt over it an use as a comfy pillow. It packs down very small, fits…
Lightweight, super portable, versatile backpacking chair. Easy setup and take down, and packs up nice and compact. I did a lot of research before choosing this chair for my backpacking trips. I wanted something that was light, packable, versatile, comfortable and tough. This chair meets all requirements. It only weighs 21 ounces and rolls up nice and tight with a built-in strap to tighten it up. I strap it to the lid of my backpack. It is great to be able to have a nice place to rest in the middle… Trying to get Alite to respond to my warranty replacement for a failed/broken Mayfly chair has been futile by phone (never returns my voice mail...tried several times).

SHIPPING + RELAXATION GUARANTEE +Live outside the US? Tom has been sleeping in hammocks for over 60 years and designing his own models since 1984. In 1999, Tom Hennessy was singlehandedly credited with creating an entirely new hammock segment in the outdoor industry and since then has revolutionized the camping experience with his five patented features. Tom is a perfectionist so every hammock he designs is uncompromising in materials and workmanship. There are countless tiny improvements that over 20 years of testing could produce but you can feel as soon as you stretch out in his hammock and close your eyes. Hennessy Hammock is a complete shelter system for one price. Some competitors' hammocks seem cheaper until you add up the cost of all the parts, then you find that they often cost more, weigh more and are bulkier in your pack than a Hennessy. Tom is very concerned that many hammock manufacturers and retailers do not include protection for the trees in the price of their hammocks.
This results in damage to two trees every time a hammock is tied up. Because of his commitment to protecting the environment, Tom includes free "TreeHugger" webbing straps with every hammock to protect the trees. Now you don't have to decide if you can afford to protect the environment. Hennessy Hammocks are most comfortable when suspended off the ground as a bug proof enclosed bed or folded into a chair or lounger for relaxing around camp. When there are no trees or other supports, they are superior to a bivy sack when set up on the ground as a tent. Hennessy Hammocks are the choice of serious expeditions into the Congo and Amazon. They are also popular with scouts, section hikers, thru hikers, Peace Corps volunteers, forest fire fighters, smoke jumpers, emergency field hospitals, international disaster relief workers, and as survival equipment for preppers, military and SAR personnel. Hennessy Hammocks have even been used as stretchers in emergencies that occurred far into the wilderness.
Check out our info pages and videos showing simple set up tips on how to stay warm and comfortable in your hammock. Also check out a few of the video testimonials to hear what people are saying about the Hennessy Hammock. Hennessy Hammock has a complete line of specialty hammocks, including jungle hammocks, double bottom hammocks, winter hammocks, camos, ultralights, and the right size and weight for anyone up to 350 lbs. Hennessy Hammocks come in five different lengths from 9 to 12 feet long, so getting a longer hammock will be even more comfortable if you don't mind carrying a few more ounces. All Hennessy Hammocks come complete with attached "no see um" mosquito mesh, an elastic "hold open" for the mesh, detachable rain fly, support ropes, a gear loft on the ridge line and stuff sack with set up instructions on back. Hennessy Hammock also provides complimentary 42" long "Tree Hugger" webbing straps to protect the tender bark of trees. Because these accessory webbing straps are complimentary, they are weighed separately from the hammock.
Tom Hennessy traveled for six years and made over 50 prototypes before being granted 5 patents for his revolutionary shelters. The Hennessy Hammock brings truly new features to jungle hammocks with a range of models for every purpose. The Hennessy Hammock is a totally new design for camping hammocks with patents in the U.S., Canada and Internationally. It has been tested in Canada, the U.S., Central and South America, Borneo, Australia, Africa, the Congo and even the Arctic and other extreme and hostile environments around the world. The Hennessy Hammock is just as comfortable for expeditions into the Amazon jungle or on an African Safari as it is in the backyard or out at the cottage. Two of the ultralite camping hammocks are under 2 lbs. Tall or large campers and campers with injuries, arthritis or bone spurs and back pain tell us about finding their first night of comfortable camping in many years in the larger Explorer Deluxe or Safari Deluxe models. The patented asymmetrically shaped hammock supports your back like a quality mattress off the ground.
You will wake up in the morning feeling great. Some owners of Hennessy Hammocks claim that they come home from their adventure feeling better than when they left.
