| Now i'll be honest, I require THREE luxuries while backpacking...1) Music (iPod and $5 Speakers), Liquor (Whiskey being the first choice) and 3) This Chair. I first saw the big agnes easy chair on a backpacking trip and immediately grew envious. So I had to have one. Luckily for me, while at REI one day I found this one that is made of SL material. Quite frankly, I dont know what people expect when they buy light gear. It's the same deal with the Seedhouse SL2 and SL1 reviews which i've both used(and no im not a big agnes rep, although I wish I was)...You will sacrifice a bit of durability(if not careful) for weight loss. Quite frankly, if you can't use the chair cause of camp situations, why bother? It's a chair, its not a vital piece of equipment like socks or water rx. It's a LUXURY people. I did, and the only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars, notice that there was a little more wear than expected on one of the stitchings, nevertheless I expect it to last many more trips and if it does fail, it's not like i'll be out of water and I will certainly buy another, for the price and all! Take care! | |

Cyclone SL is a must have on any trip. | |

| I use the product on all of my backpacking and climbing trips. The chair is lightweight, packs easily, and is durable. The other reviews I have read make the chair out to be flimsy and breakable. I totally disagree. The chair has held up great for me with no issues at all. What the other negative reviewers may not know is that Big Agnes always stands behind their products. I own other Big Agnes gear and they have always taken care of any issues I have had. I expect they will do the same with the Cylone SL if any problems come up. | |

Updated version rocks!! | |
| Rating: | |
| I read the negative reviews and called Big Agnes. They assured me all the problems with the first generation chair have been fixed. I purchased the updated version and everything they said is true. The areas that had failed have all been reinforced with extra stitching and Hapalon. This chair is killer! Super lightweight. I've used it in the desert and snow camping and it has performed great. No problems at all and I've had some big guys sit in it. | |

Updated version rocks!! | |

| I called Big Agnes and they told me they had updated the chair to correct some of the issues they saw with the first generation. I (and my buddy who also has the chair) have used the heck out of it with no problems. They added reinforcing where customers had complained poles were wearing through. My chair is bomber! | |

| If you have a air mattress - this is a No Brainer!!! At just 6.5 oz., why not have a nice comfy chair for your tired bones? I also use mine all the time for ball games and in my canoe and kayak!!! Finally a lightweight chair that really supports your back - Thank You | |

| Like another reviewer, when I saw the Backpacker Gear award given to this product, and the low low weight, I had to have one. What a disappointment. I used the chair for ONE day in the Sierra Nevada's, and the aluminum stays wore through the nylon webbing. I combined this product with a brand new Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Mummy Pad which also failed after one day of use and sprung a leak. Sadly, I will be returning both, and sticking with the Therm-a-Rest Trekker chair which is heavier, but has lasted years without having to baby it. Big Agnes has come up with innovative designs, however, durability in their products seem to be an issue | |

| I bought this based on the Backpacker award. I knew it was lightweight and a little delicate. I took real good care of this, made sure it was always on dirt not rocks and did not slide it around a lot. It lasted me for about 7 nights before the rods busted out. A friend on our last hike had his bust after 2-3 nights. The 15 thermarests on our hike did not have any issues and were handled a lot rougher. I will be returning the dead chair and get a thermarest in its place. | |

| Big Agnes makes awesome products EXCEPT for this item. It's lightweight but poorly designed for its use. I destroyed it on one trip. Sitting on granite caused the aluminum stays to puncture through their Sil Nylon slots. Check the Therma Rest chair and note the heavy duty wear area. I've had my Therma Rest chair for years with no problems. If you buy this item, don't be surprised to dump coffee on yourself when it explodes out from under you. | |

| I used this chair one night of a backpack trip. I set it up on a rocky surface, by the end of the evening the stays had worn through the fabric. I was as careful as I could be (as Big Agnes suggested) but you don't always get to chose a camping spot. | |
