Alps Mountaineering Camp Chairs (Great Variety of Designs)

Here you have my selection of the best Alps Mountaineering camp chairs, reliable, easy to use and very affordable, suitable for any outdoor activity.

There are two major groups of chairs here, folding and collapsible. I use the first term for chairs that are all one single piece and need no assembly.

The second group (collapsible) means that the chair has two or more separate elements and it needs a simple assembly.

My list of the best Alps Mountaineering camping chairs

So here is my list of chairs ordered by weight from heavier to lighter:

1. ALPS Mountaineering Rocking Chair

As you realize from the picture, this is a rocking chair with solid armrests. So the weight of 17.5 lb (7.9 kg) should not be surprising. The weight is due to its steel construction and the long U-shaped bar on the ground which serves for rocking purposes.

The chair is also very tall and with a great headrest, you have 41 inches (104 cm) from the ground to the top, so I have included it in my list of best chairs with headrest. Its capacity is 300 lb (136 kg).

The packed size is around 47 x 26 x 6 inches (119 x 66 x 15 cm) so it takes quite a space in the car. Please read more in my full review.
