Simple and perfect

Rating:*****
Forget an expensive camp chair - you can't get much more comfort and still match the weight of the Crazy Creek. One of my favorite parts about the product: you can unclip it and lay it flat underneath your current sleeping pad for added insulation (closed-cell foam.) I am a four-season backpacker and this, to me, is an essential. Ah, and a side note - the mesh pocket on the back is great for drying socks while you hike (Creek is the last thing on my pack.)

Soo comfortable! So versatile!

Rating:*****
I always strap this onto the back of my pack when i go for a weekend backpacking trip. Why sit on a log/rock/the ground when you could be eating for freeze dried meal from the comfort of a crazy creek chair? Perfect for carrying down to the beach (when camping) as well. Excellent for festivals (so comfortable!). Relaxing while reading a book in the backyard.

A worthy investment indeed

Since 1996

I've had my Crazy Creek chair since 1996 when I was a camp counselor. I put it away for a couple of years but am using it again only this time, in doors. I have to fight my husband for it now as we warm our toes by the fire...in the fireplace.

My friends always take it

Rating:*****
I wish I had bought one earlier! The price was a deterrent at first but after using one of my friends and seeing how light and comfortable the chair is I bought one immediately. Now all my friends want one too!

She Ain't What She Used to Be

Rating:**
I bought my first crazy creek chair 10 years ago and it was outstanding. I finally wore it out so last year I bought another. On the first 7-day backpack the stiching pulled out. I contacted crazy creek and they sent me a new one. It lasted three trips and the stiching is pulling out again. So sad, time to find a new chair. Crazy creek ain't what she used to be.

Neutral Reviews:

Good for more than just sitting...

Rating:***
Great for wilderness rescue. Is a little on the heavy side for those who are ounce conscious - but I wouldn't expect them to be carrying a chair into the backcountry anyway. Also doubles as a backup sleeping pad if your inflatable leaks. Not the most comfortable, but functional.
