REI does not sell a replacement bag for the Flex Lite Chair. Tragically I managed to get a sizable burn in the mesh of my chair.

Additional information about the repair process is available here: Is there a trick to getting the chair onto the frame? The bottom 2 frame supports seem to be too far apart for the seat -- I can't get the tubes into the 'pockets' on the bottom corners of the seat. Attach the bottom two corners first, then use the pull loops on the top corners to attach the top pockets to the poles. It should become easier with use. Is the difference between this and the original Flex Lite chair that the base was rotated 90 degrees? Why was this done? The base of the chair is one of the several features that is different on the new Flex Lite chair. The base was rotated 90 degrees to improve side to side stability. We have also added a storage pocket and improved the feet on the chair so they will not slide off if the chair sinks into the soft ground.
Do you sell replacement feet for the older model? REI does not carry replacement feet for the REI Flex Lite chair (item #829239). We have found that the REI Trekking Pole Rubber Walking Tips - 12mm – Pair will work: I am trying to determine which would be better the Flex Lite chair or the Alite Mayfly chair if the use will be exclusively at the beach. If your beach is made up of hard sand, rocks, shells and such, the 4 legs of the Flex Lite make more sense. If your beach is loose sand, the Mayfly will sit more evenly. I've owned and used this chair for about a year. Sadly, the seat caught an ember from a campfire and it now has a dime sized hole melted into the mesh. Is this chair safe to use still? Is there a repair or replacement I can pursue? Based on the size of the hole, the Flex Lite Chair can still be used. Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Repair Tape is a good choice for covering the hole. Are the frame pieces shock-corded together (similar to a tent) or are they individual, loose pieces?
Yes, the frame of the Flex Lite chair is connected by shockcord. REI Co-op Flex Lite Chair Questions - page 2 We stand behind everything we sell.

Best Camping Chairs of 2016 For seating comfort that can go on any adventure, we break down the top camp chairs on the marketThe 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).
