Kelty Camp Chair

Kelty Camp Chair

Rating for this product: 1 June 23, 2008

I love the concept of these chairs and I've had versions before that used my thermarest as the back and leg support but this one was a big disappointment. Why? If you look at the picture of the chair, you can see two long thin, padded seams running along the side of the chair, yes? These have plastic 'spines" in them for support. Well, not far into my first camping excursion with these chairs, the front edge of long, thin pocket of that seam ripped and the plastic spine poked right thru. That area needs to be reinforced seriously to resist the pressure that the spine exerts on the stitching. I could see the spine vigorously poking that area whenever someone sat in the chair. Once the spine breaks through, the chair loses it's structural integrity and is far less comfortable Plus the spine tarted scratching my leg every time I sat down. Lest anyone think I might have exceed the weight limit for these chairs (is there one? ) I'm about 5'7" and 155 lbs. Hardly atypical for an expected user of these things. I'm really surprised that a flaw like this showed up in a Kelty design. I've been impressed with previous products of theirs in the past and expected the same from these chairs. At least this site rocks with respect to returns. I've sent these things back and will keep looking for a lightweight, comfortable camp chair.
