Great chair, but it's WAY wider than it needs to be for the average person, making the chair needlessly bulky and heavy. I wish they made a smaller version of this exact chair for normal sized people. The other problem is the bag is absolute garbage. It ripped almost right away. I wish they'd have used the same material as the Guru bag.
I had a Strongback Elite for quite a few years until the mesh seat recently ripped out. I don't attribute this to the chair but due to the fact that I kept it outside in the elements for six months of the year in the northern New York weather. I purchased a replaced, the same chair, because I've found that a Strongback is the only folding chair that feels good on my bad lower back. With any other chair, I have to use a small pillow to provide lumbar support -- and that's still not equal to the comfort I feel while sitting in my Strongback. Yes, these chairs are pricey, but if you have lower back troubles, it's worth it.
I wore my first chair out, it started popping rivets so I ordered a new one, always have one in the back of the truck and have one on the cigar porch
The chair is the most supportive and comfortable folding chair I have ever set in. I would highly recommend it.
Full time camper/volunteer friends clued me in to the Strongback experience. Quite simply the most comfortable camp chair ever. Could it be better? Yes, lighter weight frame built of something that doesn't corrode. Aluminum or stainless, but the latter is heavy.
If you want to relax in comfort around the campfire, order when they do a 20% discount.
