Worth the weight

Rating:*****
This simple device lets you use your sleeping pad that you are only using in the tent, and now you can use it for a comfortable seat anywhere you want. Chair is easy to set up. The pad folds and slides easily into the chair. Straps on both sides allow unlimited adjustments. The chair cloth seems like it will protect the pad from most objects. It is lightweight material and will probably wear out with enough use, but still should have little effect on the operation of the chair. This item will be in my pack wherever I go. It rolls up nicely to a size smaller than my tent poles. I stick it vertically in my pack and takes up very little room. One could also roll the pad up around this if they strapped their pad to the outside of the pack.

What are you waiting for?

Upon the arrival of the the Trekker Chair I was a bit weary on the sizing of whether it would fit or not. But to my surprise it fit perfectly. I just followed the instructions and POW! I was chillin' in comfort on my living room floor. I did not want to get up, and was anticipating my adventures with this chair.
It is very lightweight as mentioned and durable. I look forward to many concerts and festivals, backcountry excursions, and car camping trips with this new and proud item.
I would recommend it to any one. I wonder why i went so long with it. It will be nice to not have all that bulk with a crazycreek(which are great chairs too) or a regular camping chair.
So what are are you waiting for, add this to your cart.

well worth the weight

Rating:****
I always bring this thing on hikes and while my buddies are sitting on a log, rock, or the ground, I'm lounging in style. I'm not a super ultralight backpacker - if i were, this may be get the axe - but this is one of the reasons i enjoy not being a super ultralight backpacker. the 10oz don't cause me any trouble.

Be careful not to inflate your sleeping pad too much before using this product, I've had a few holes get put in my thermarest while using this product. good thing i carry a patch kit.

Convenient Comfort

Rating:*****
This is a fantastic accessory for a Therm-a-rest pad. When together it makes for a truly comfortable camp chair and is perfect for backpacking. I was originally told by a fellow backpacker that it only worked for the full size pad but after talking to the folks at the local [...] I found out that it can work with the 3/4 length pad. This sold me since I have a 3/4 length pad and it worked great and provides plenty of padding on the bottom.

Great Chair -- Works with REI pads too

Rating:*****
This chair is great! I bought one, tested it out at home, and decided to get one for everyone (3 more). Make sure you put the valve end in the back of the chair, adjust the straps appropriately, and scoot your butt all the way back. I almost returned the first one because it kept collapsing backwards until I tried the things above. The only reason I kept fiddling was because of all the great reviews here. Once you figure it out it's awesome.

Love it

Rating:*****
It's so nice to be able to sit on something comfortable (with back support!) after a long day of hiking or riding. I'm already bringing the sleeping pad so this isn't much additional weight / space. Definitely worth the price. Everyone who sees it wants it and if I let them try it out I have a hard time getting it back. So do yourself a favor and recommend this to your friends before camping with them.

Worth it even for minimalists

Rating:*****
This product gets five stars. Used with my Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad, I enjoy sitting by the fire at night or relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning. I even use mine in the canoe for week long trips through the wilderness.

This item is a must for anyone who likes back support and doesn't mind taking along a few extra ounces on the trail. Some creature comforts are worth the weight.

Great Chair, Super Comfortable

Rating:*****
I used this chair for the first time and loved it. I am still somewhat skeptical about getting a hole in my sleeping pad but it worked great. With a regular therma rest you double it over so its super padded and can also be used to lean back like a rocker. Great buy and doesn't add as much if your already bringing the sleeping pad.

A must have for camp comfort!

Rating:*****
Provides extreme lounging/ sitting comfort at the end of the day whether you use it by the fire or in the tent. Leave the top portion on your pad at night with the remainder tucked underneath and stuff some clothes in the top fabric portion to create a pillow that stays in place!
