I decided it was time to replace a couple of my 20 year old folding camp chairs. The plastic was deteriorating around the cupholders and the style was very outdated. As a high structure buyer, I researched possibilities both on Amazon and other well known outdoor gear review websites. At 210 pounds, and 6 feet, I wanted
a very robust replacement. I am a retired retail manager that routinely will choose quality over price. At
under $80 bucks, I felt these chairs were a very reasonable value....truly a win win.
Alps Mountaineering King Kong Camping Chairs were often rated the best, especially in the weight
capacity comparisons. Because I have had some back issues over the years, I did consider the highest rated
lumbar support chair, but with only 300 pound capacity, a poor cup holder, somewhat mediocre reviews, and a $150 price tag, I just couldn't make the leap. The other contender brand is world famous for their backpack frames, tents, etc., but the larger chair was oversized and there were numerous complaints about the angle of the chair's back. Their reclining version had similar complaints.
Summary: The Alps Mountaineering Camping Chairs met my expectations for a very well built and robust
replacement for my old camping chairs. They are thoughtfully designed and have the highest weight
capacity rating for camping chairs I could find. The seat back is upright, yet comfortable. The arm rests
are also adjustable and there are two cupholders and other useful storage pouches. I can easily recommend
these chairs for others to consider.
