Campster - ポータブルチェア

Let me start out by saying that i love this chair. I was an original backer of the chair. When I received it, I was more than disappointed to say the least. The geometry of the fabric caused the seated person to continually slip downwards into a highly uncomfortable position. You felt like you were slipping right off the chair. I had looked into solutions to fix this and I came up with the idea to use Performix Super Grip clear non-skid fabric coating which is used to add a rubbery texture to fabric such as nylon. I wrote to Sitpack expressing my displeasure and was surprised to find out how responsive they were. They immediately contacted me telling me that they were aware of the problem the early chairs suffered from. They said that they came up with a solution and a new fabric seat cover, It was shipped to me with great haste all the while staying in contact with me. I thought putting the new fabric on would be difficult but with the removal of 3 screws the old fabric was off and the new fabric was on. but then through my own fault I broke one of the end caps during the installation process!!! Ugh. I contacted the company again and once more they responded immediately and immediately sent me out a replacement end cap and a link to a video explaining what i did wrong and how to properly put on the end cap. Incredible customer service. To make a long story short... The new fabric worked perfectly. The seat performs exactly as described. I couldn't be any more happy. And no one else will have to go through these issues since the company has long since acknowledged, addressed, and fixed the issue. I use the seat all the time whether it is out on the disc golf course or on a camping or strapped onto my handlebar harness on my mountain bike. It is surprisingly light and compact for a full-sized portable chair!!!

Suits my use case and preferences. High build quality. Great look and feel.

Fits my needs and preferences well. High quality look and feel.

Unlike many people who only wanted it for one of those summer camping trips. I wanted it as an EDC (everyday carry) for work! I drive a subway for a living and there are some downtime when the line is a little messed up or with closures. There isn't a lot of places to sit in a station platform, and with covid it's not very possible to social distance at one bench.

I'm very happy I got this amazing feat of engineering in my hands now and I'm buying a Molly attachment for a large water bottle to place it on my bag.

One thing I do recommend is to deploy and retract it multiple times to soften it up and also pull as hard as you can before twisting

Thank you guys I can't wait for the next iteration keep doing amazing work!

I also wanted to use it while training other operators however a little bit of movement and there is some instability and you have to use your own body to compensate however like many others have said this is not a lounge chair this is a portable beast and should be not compared any other way

Thank you for making the best accessible camping chair that I’ve ever found!

I’d been looking for a tall-person camping chair, that was easy enough to carry and put up for someone with arthritis, for a long time before I found this. It’s light, fits easily in a backpack (or larger pocket) and once you’ve got someone else to loosen the joints then it’s a breeze to put up. As others have mentioned that initial grip and twist requires a bit more force than I can usually muster, but after putting it up twice everything it pretty easy even for me. If you aren’t used to hammock style chairs then it’s an unusual seating position, but I love it as it eases the pressure on my joints nicely. As long as you check that it’s on stable ground and keep both feet down it’s no problem, and on indoor floors it’s never an issue (I use mine to do the washing up, and in the garden). On fine sand it needed the base they sell to stay stable, but I used a bag for life on the one time this was an issue.

It was worth the initial Kickstarter/covid delays as it’s a really professional piece of kit and has clearly been extensively tested. I’d not hesitate to buy from these guys again and have recommended it to other outdoorsy people who need to sit down more often than most.

Quite possibly the happiest I’ve even been with a piece of crowdfunded kit.

Sehr gut geeignet für Satteltaschen im Bike oder Offroad Camper! Wir sitzen echt bequem!!

It was a loooong wait for the product, but that is nothing new to me as a Kickastarter / Indiegogo enthusiast. Contrary to the standard, the comms from the team was frequent and sufficient! Once I got the chair, I am happy that I had read the instructions sent and shown ahead. Withouth it, I am afraid I might have broken the thing...it is tight at first, but it does ease out! So far, after half a dozen tryouts, I'm happy. It is small, light, portable and carries my weight - as promised!

Cheers! - pic from above the arctic circle (hunting)

Let’s get the negatives out of the way first not the most comfortable chair in the world and you’ve got to practice sitting in it as it’s quite unstable so there’s a knack to it definitely wouldn’t want to spend long periods sat in it now let’s have the positive this chair is super light and compact so it’s perfect for hiking takes up no room at all it’s also rather easy to put up and take down I can’t understand how you can have a problem but I know some customers have had issues with it but trust me it’s easy might be a tiny bit stiff the first couple of times it’s such a clever little design it amazes me how you keep coming up with these ideas I bought one of the first sitpack stick chairs and that was great will probably invest in the newer version anyway back to the chair used it for an all day music fest in September finally got comfortable on a flat piece of grass but after close to an hour started getting a bit uncomfortable so if you want a perfect lightweight travel chair this is the one if you want an all day travel chair probably not for you

I've been testing/ showing off this chair for the last week in the house ( not had a chance to unleash it in the wild yet). First impressions: the materials used for the legs and back feel reassuringly solid and very robust. A little stiff to unfold, but i think this will ease with use. Very, comfortable to sit in. At a smidge over 900grams- its definitely worth straping to your pack for a curiously luxurious lightweight adition on your next adventure... or back garden bbq. Would highly recommend getting the additional soft ground pad/mesh thing as well to stop sinking in sand or soft mud.

I come to free diving and swim with green sea turtle in Liuqiu iIsland, Taiwan. But I sit on Campster in the B&B now and no where to go. Cause typhoon ruind my vacation.
I received my order on Sep. 2021. I used Campster when I had outdoor activities. I can bring it in my medium-sized backpack. Campster is easy to carry and quick set up to use. Use Campster few times you will get to know when and how to use it to be much comfortable.

Arrived this morning- first impressions are that it feels robust with solid well constructed components,everything seems well finished. Its very comfortable, and although a little stiff (i suspect this will ease up with use) to open, it pops up in no time. Would definitely recommend getting the ground sheet for beaches, gravel ect. Overall would absolutely recommend.

What I like: Compact, portable, nice design, well constructed, reasonable comfort.
What I don't like: 1) Label on the removeable case say High Weight Capacity 300 pounds. Instruction sheet clearly says maximum limit 265 pounds. At the time I ordered them I weighed 298 pounds. They have held up, but I do now have another incentive to lose weight. 2) The pictures next to the color choice on the order information clearly show the design of the chair but have it higher off the ground than it is in fact. That means that it is a bigger drop when you want to sit down and also harder when you want to get up. Remember there are no arms as there may be in a (far less compact) aluminum folding chair. I plan on using this on a beach so I will learn if it is something I can handle or whether it is better suited to younger kids in good shape.

i like it, but mine is very hard to set up. i've strained my wrists and hands trying to pull and twist the poles to extend and lock them. i'm uncertain how long it will last from me fighting it every time. might just be my chair or operator error though. i suppose i'll still use it until i can't though.

Good design, I already have 3 but grabbed another 2 on sale. Can't wait to try out the Campster 2!

This will be my third SitPack purchase. They just keep getting better and better,.

It's a great experience to be able to sit down and rest at any time when traveling, and quickly pack it away

Great chair in a lovely colour combination. Was happy with the added carabineer and the nonslip rubber feet together with a versatile carry case and strap.

The order for four Campster portable chairs arrived quicker than I’d anticipated, which indicates great service. They were purchased specifically as a Christmas present for our son and his significant other who like hiking and camping along the Northern California coast. The small size is ideal and, having set one up to try, are easy to use. The booklet of instructions does say that first use will be “tight”, which I found true but I expect it to be less so with use over time. Sitting in then chair is comfortable and getting up far nicer than with typical collapsible beach chairs - the type with beer can holders in the arm!!

Small chair, very well constructed and simple to operate and pack. Highly recommended.

I received now Campster 3 + 4 , now my familly is fully equipped,

The chairs were received and set up per the instructions. They were a little stiff to set up, but that was explained in the instructions. I have only set them up on flat surfaces so far, but they are stable and allow for moderate rocking. I am a smaller man at 5'9" 165 lbs, and they fit me well and are very comfortable . There are many situations where older people need the ability to sit and enjoy. These chairs are light weight, portable, and perfect for this purpose. They are engineered exquisitely. Thanks guys!

I'm now reading how users say the chair collapses easily. I had one situation occur, but it was because I had not locked the supports in place correctly. There are very clear lock alignment markers on each support. If these do not line up and lock, the chair will collapse. That's how it's designed to be portable and light weight. The first couple of "setups" can be stiff to lock, but this goes away with use and a little silicone lubrication.

There was a problem when I got my chair, and when I contacted the company, they solved the problem in 2 days. the chair is great and works as advertised. I'm an older adult and I have worked at a Scout camp in the summer for about 25 years. This chair will be with me now, and allow me to sit and relax during some of my duties. it's light weight, easy to set up, and comfortable. I'm pretty sure that once the rest of the camp staff sees it in use there will be more orders placed by some of them for their own chair.

When I backed the project two years ago, I saw in the prototype demo video that if a big tall Dane can sit on it relatively comfortably, someone small like me will find it good. After waiting very patiently for 2 years with the occasional updates (another project I backed at about the same time is still 3 months away from delivery, so I’m not complaining, the point of crowdfunding is to allow innovative people resources, time, and the chance to make something happen, even though sometimes a project can fail), my two chairs finally have arrived.

The thin pole is a bit stiff to twist, the plug came off at the beginning but didn’t break, fortunately, so I put it back and it works. By following the how to open and close the chair Youtube video and do exactly as shown, I find the chair very easy to open and close, maybe not 10 seconds but definitely no more than 20-30 seconds are needed to get it ready to be seated on and it feels rather comfortable. I sat on it to make a long-ish phone call from Australia to Paris and at no point felt I needed to get up and sit elsewhere. Certainly I had in mind it’s a chair for “on the go” need, it’s not for the comfort of a recliner or a real outdoor chair that weights a few more kg. For 1kg, and the size (35cm long to carry in a bag), you can’t ask for much more. The team has packed in as much as what is really realistic, possible and still practical.

My only criticism is that the whole chair must be really handle gently and with care, it seems that I can easily damage it if I am not careful with how I open and close it and sit on it. My husband weights 90kg and he is finding it ok too to sit on it. It’s not a chair for you to sit on and rock, it’s great when you just need some rest in the middle of a hiking trip, a long day shopping in a shopping mall, a long walk somewhere, or stuck at an airport or train station. You pay what you get and I like the product. I hope it will last many many times. It’s hyggelig enough for “on the go”. And I love the little deilig Danish flags everywhere! Well done to the team.

My only complaint is that twisting the two smaller sections at the ends of the back is very difficult unless your grip is very strong. Fairly light and comfortable to sit on. Lighter than any camp chair, which makes it a plus when hiking.
