Well...I actually love this chair as something additional in my quiver of camping/backpacking equipment. Unfortunately, the cross leg in the front/bottom broke within minutes of my not-heavy 13 yr old trying it out in our home. Luckily, Alite customer service was absolutely amazing and replaced it very quickly, even over-nighted it. I then took it on an 8 night backpacking trip in Wyoming and after a few days something different broke on the same piece. So...I am sorry to say my experience is that this chair may not hold up well if you are around 200 pounds. I am sure Alite will replace the pieces broken but I haven't contacted them yet.

pjwinnI had the same issue. Broke three legs. I’m a materials engineer by trade and I explained to them the problem and they were super greatful and two weeks later got a replacement that was better made. I’ve used it extensively since then and its been great. I would reach out to them! I believe they solved the issue.

haven't had a chance to use it on an actual caming trip yet, and may not. set it up and my son sat in it. He's only 180 lbs. The front support bent and snapped. I'm 212 so it could have happened to me. I'm hoping I can get a replaement part. and btw , it was set up properly.

cbigsthey had a manufacturing flaw in the front legs where the bend wasn’t smooth and it created very weak points. They've fixed it and my replacement is going strong.

great chair, price and weight. I have taken this chair on two backpacking trips so far and I'm really enjoying it. It's nice to be able to lean back and also have the option of having all legs on the ground as well.

I really like this for what it is: a very light & small chair that's reasonably comfortable. Fits easily in a small daypack, so works really well for a longish walk or hike to a picnic spot, concert, etc. There are bigger chairs that are a lot more comfortable, arm rests, taller back, etc.; but I haven't come across any that didn't have to be carried separately on their own shoulder strap. You do end up sitting very close to the ground, so not the easiest to get out of. And I'm 170 lbs; at some higher weight I think you'd be just about bottoming out.

Alite is one of the best companies around in this day in age! I purchased the Mayfly chair & I love it! However the front rail for the chair broke on me while camping. I contacted Alite and their warranty departmen. I told them what happened and the promptly got back with me on solutions. They sent me a replacement part at no cost to me. Fast, friendly, reliable service will definitely keep me coming back to Alite!

TheFlemingKidSo, what is the best chair in the opinion of anyone reading this question?
By best chair I don't mean a five pound chair that you carry around car camping, and use in a campground, or picnic area, or anywhere else; I mean what is the best chair that you could use to take on a backpacking trip?
Obviously the chair must be light, and compact, probably two pounds or less, but at the same time be able to support at least 250 pounds, and preferably 300, so as to have added durability over the long haul.
I know a lot of hikers are short, and slightly built guys, in the sub 200 pound range, as well as most women hikers, but there are some of us guys who are over 6 feet tall, and up in the 225 to 250 range, and some above that from what I have seen.
There have been many times where I was hiking, backpacking, kayaking, where I would have liked to have a chair to sit in while at my camp.
Usually I had to try and find a log, or to sit on some big rocks, or boulders, but that kind of got old after awhile, and there is no real comfortable position with back support.
Sometimes you can set up your hammock as a chair if you are a hammock camper, but probably still not as good as a chair.
Sometimes after taking my boots off when crossing streams, I would have liked to have had a chair that would allow me to be positioned in a more elevated position while pulling my socks and boots back on my feet.
If I could not find the right log, or rock, then laying on the ground not so efficient, or comfortable.
Even if you are in good shape, putting on your shoes gets more difficult with age. LOL
FInally, what could be better than eating your supper, and then taking a nap in the chair while in a scenic and remote spot,; with only the sounds of the wind blowing through the trees, the singing and chirping of the birds and squirrels, and the babbling of a brook to lull you to sleep?
I would love to hear back from all of you on suggestions, and recommendations for a great backpacking chair.
