Overview

This brand has a number of padded chairs on the market, and some of them are presented here in the site. You can see them in my separate list of Guide Gear camping chairs.

Some of them may look similar to this Guide Gear Oversized XL Padded Camping Chair but this is a new item on the market.

The chair is folding, and this means there is no assembly, this is a single piece and very easy to use.  It is one of those that close like an umbrella, the picture below shows how it looks when closed and stored in the carry bag.

The chair comes with two large storage pouches that are in fact on the inner side. This tells you how big and wide its seat is when it has place for such details. Their dimensions of pouches are 13 x 6 inches (33 x 15 cm) each.

There is also an oversized cup holder where you can place a 30-oz sized YETI Rambler Tumbler or anything similar.

The materials

The fabric is exceptionally durable and this is a 600D polyester oxford.

The chair is generously padded, though I could not find information about the material inside. You have a high-loft padding on the seat and on the backrest. Note that they build it in three different colors:

The frame is a very strong and sturdy powder-coated steel with X-crossed bars on all sides. So it is stable to any lateral movement and rock solid.

The carry bag is expandable and compression-type, equipped with handles and a shoulder strap.


Who is it for

Regarding the capacity, it is impressive, the chair is officially for users up to 400 lb (181 kg).

This is not surprising when you realize that it has four legs and those mentioned X-bars are in between. In some camping chairs such X-bars are in fact legs. This is not so here.

Regarding the dimensions, they are quite extraordinary, the chair measures (H x W x D) 40.5 x 37 x 28 inches (103 x 94 x 71 cm). Note that the seat is not very tall, you have 17 inches (43 cm), so this is moderate. 

The backrest is with a great padding for headrest, tall enough for shorter users.

Regarding the weight, with 12 lb (5.4 kg), I would describe it as typical, this is quite normal for chairs of this type. But it is a bit bulky when packed.

Regarding the price, I would describe it as fair for such a great chair.
