ARB camp chair review

[jeeper]

I just bought 2 more for a total of 4. The bags they come with now are far superior to the old bags.

I am pretty sure ARB read my review and made a change!

In this edition of true life tales by Cody.... I bet someone I could drink a beer faster than they could set up their arb chair. After winning, I deployed with one hand my $25 camp chair that I've had for 15 years, and began enjoying my second beer.

Thanks for your time.

I've had an ARB chair for six years now. It is absolutely the most comfortable camp chair I've ever sat my tush in. I particularly like the high back, which makes dozing off around the campfire while Cody yammers on about what a bad ass he is really easy. BUT, it is heavy, bulky, and yes, a bit cumbersome to set up.

The perhaps excusable cumbersome traits aside, I just don't think the arb chair is sturdy enough to support my ego.

Yeti makes a camp chair they claim a weight capacity of 500 lbs. Maybe it's sturdy enough for this application? It's also $300, but you'll be the coolest guy in your Flannel Fans club.

For that price I might as well spend the extra scratch and get the arb chair. 500 hash tags is borderline capacity for this inflated melon.

I mean, ExPo recommends it, so that's GOT to be able to support some serious ego!

What was the experience level on both sides of this event? I'd wager the over under favored you.

Is there somewhere local that I can check these chairs out in person?

Where is "local"?

You're welcome to come look at/test out mine. I'm in Magna.

Neither of our first times performing our specific task, and both were aware it was a competition.

I have a couple in Bountiful. Good service and pretty comfortable.

I have a couple in Bountiful. Chairs are about 5-6 years old. Have given good service and are pretty comfortable. Can’t take them in my YJ tub but they can find a home pretty easily in a JKU

How could anyone get out of that beast of a chair?

 

[Kiel]

You don`t....you have to roll out like an idiot

Anyone who can still do a sit-up.

Seems about right.

Not that exact same chair but I have something very similar. Quick overnight or if i'm short on space those will go. Outside of that I love my big bulky comfortable ARB chairs and have mastered the art of the setup. But my old ones have this shitty bags that really aren't bags anymore.
