ALPS Mountaineering Camber Chair Review – Sturdy & Reliable

ALPS Mountaineering Camber Chair is built in the style expected from this renown brand, and this means very sturdy, reliable, and with a top craftsmanship.

Key features

What type of chair is this

This Camber chair is a folding type that packs to its included carry bag with the dimensions (L x D) 40 x 6.5 inches (102 x 17 cm). The carry bag is with a shoulder strap so you can carry it short distances, see the picture:

The carry bag looks incredibly durable, just like everything else in this chair. This is a 420D polyester fabric.

This is a bucket type design, see the picture below, no specific armrests, but the sides are such that you have a bit of support for arms. The frame and the fabric are permanently attached to each other, all one single piece. It is available in two different color combinations, see the pictures around.

Who is it for

Weight-wise, with its 7 lb 11 oz (3.49 kg) of weight and the mentioned packed size, this is a portable camping chair or a chair for sporting events and similar activities. But you will need a car for transportation, you have seen its packed size.

Capacity-wise, the declared capacity for this chair is 300 lb (136 kg) so this is quite typical. If you need something stronger please check my list with camping chair for heavy people.

Size-wise, the dimensions of this chair are normal, (W x D x H) 24 x 25 x 32.5 inches (61 x 64 x 83 cm). But the back is not such to offer a headrest, so if you need this feature please check my list of chairs with headrest.

Materials

This is an ergonomic design for a comfortable and relaxed sitting. The sling is a nylon mesh so it is very breathable, and the sides are durable 420D polyester honeycomb fabric.

The frame is a very strong and sturdy powder-coated steel with numerous support bars for a stable structure, you can see it in the picture below.

The feet are with wide plastic caps and this is a floor-friendly design. But I would be careful about using this chair in a floored tent with a soft ground underneath.

The price & rating

This chair is on Amazon with the price shown below, and I think this is an excellent price for such a quality chair.

The Camber Chair has received a number of reports by customers and, not surprisingly, it has received exceptionally high ratings.

Now, my own rating is a bit different because of the standard set of criteria I use for every chair here in the site, please have a look:

ALPS Mountaineering Camber Chair vs Browning Camping Lodge Chair

These two chairs are almost identical by numbers and the design, and no, the numbers in the table are not a mistake. The prices are also almost the same.

Both brands operate under the same Alps Brands company and this is not the first time to have such items that look exactly the same. So you will not make a mistake by choosing any of them, these are renown and reliable brands.
