Overview
For over 100 years Coleman has been providing America with great camping equipment. Their line of camping chairs is one of the most popular. When searching for a new camping chair, you may want to include Coleman in the list of brands up for consideration.
Types of Available Chairs
o Oversize Quad Chair with Cooler
Benefits of this chair include a built-in cooler, adjustable arm rests, high back and accessory pouch. The carry weight is 10 pounds, which makes it a bit heafty for backpacking trips or long hikes on the beach. It has an extended weight limit of up to 300lbs, which does make it ideal for larger campers. Available in blue or gold. This folding camping chair comes with a carrying bag with strap.
o Portable Deck Chair
This small, portable deck chair folds for transport or storage, has washable armrest covers, has an ergonomic padded seatback, weighs 5.6 pounds and can hold 225lbs. This chair does not fold up as small as a collapsible camping chair and does not have as many features as the Quad chair or Broadband chair. This chair is better suited for a deck as the name impressions.
o Broadband Camping Chairs
The standard Broadband camping chair includes durable diamond ripstop fabric, reinforced steel frame, included carrying bag, mesh cup holder, and a 1 year warranty. Its carry weight is 9 lbs.
There are many optional features of the Broadband chair. It is available with security pockets and a footrest, a sunshade and cooler, and in a lightweight version.
o Coleman Stools
There are two stools Coleman makes – the Rambler and the Exponent. Both are folding stools but the Exponent will likely suit car campers more as it has a pack weight of only 20 ounces and folds up in a more compact package. Neither stool has the comfort of a traditional camping chair, but when space is at a premium, these stools may fit the bill.
Warranty
All Coleman products come with a limited warranty. The length of the warranty varies by product, but in general for camping chairs, it is one year. Keep your original sales receipt – Coleman requires proof of purchase for all warranty claims. Keep in mind the warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is not transferrable.
About Coleman
Over 100 years ago, WC Coleman started manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. 1n 1923, Coleman invented the fold-up camp stove and soon after other car camping equipment followed. In decades following, Coleman dominated the industry and bought many new products to market, including their comfortable camping chairs – and the rest is car-camping history.
Summary
No matter what you plan on using your camp chair for, Coleman probably has a recommended solution. Readily available and equipped with many features, a Coleman camp chair will last for many seasons. With the added security of their limited warranty, Coleman is a good brand to consider.
