What type of a camping chair is this
This Browning Camping Kodiak chair is a folding type that collapses like an umbrella from the four directions to the center. So when packed it remains large in one dimension only, the packed size is (L x D) 41 x 7 inches (104 x 18 cm).
From this you realize that there is no assembly, you simply open it up and it is ready in a couple of seconds.
You have a carry bag included and it is equipped with straps to carry it like a backpack, see the picture:
The chair is with soft and adjustable armrests, and it is with straps on the back so you can adjust the angle.
Who is it for
Capacity-wise, you have already seen the number, there is nothing stronger on the market. So this chair can support anybody. I have included it in my list of chairs for heavy people and also in the list of best furniture for heavy people.
Size-wise, the dimensions are great, 38 x 20 x 38 inches (97 x 51 x 97 cm). So the size corresponds to its capacity. The seat is at 18 inches (46 cm).
Weight-wise, this chair is quite moderate, you would expect more weight in such a strong chair, but it weighs only 13 lb (5.9 kg).
All in all, in view of its weight and packed size, this is a camping chair for places with a car access.
Materials & construction
The frame is a patented powder-coated steel with supporting X-bars on all sides. This is a patented design.
The fabric is 600D Realtree Edge and a reinforced mesh in the central area. There is no sagging, have seen people asking about this. The feet are very wide and this is a floor-friendly design.
Bonuses
The chair has a cooler on the right side integrated into the armrest, visible in the picture above. This is why I have included it in my list of camping chairs with coolers.
On the left side you have a cup holder. One large mesh pouch is on the back side, see it in the picture:

Browning Camping Kodiak Chair vs Competitors
Here I give this Kodiak chair side by side with two other chairs with huge capacities, all built in a similar style. By numbers, it looks very similar to the King Kong chair but there is a big difference in the fabric. Please follow the links in the table for more details and to check the prices.

Thank you for reading. Please use the comment box below in case of questions or comments. Have a nice day.
just bought 2 of the Browning chairs for my wife and I. Your comparison list is exaustive and complete as possible. Thank you for your efforts. I spent 11 hours looking for chairs. ALL lists and reviews were judged against your list (second and third choice would have been Alpha Camp and Guide Gear, Alps?).
Thank you Dave for your kind words. I am sure you will enjoy the chairs. Your comment will also be helpful to my readers.
