Overview
This Klymit Ridgeline Camp Chair is a collapsible type, and this means it has two separate parts and it needs a simple assembly. So you have a fabric/seat and a shock corded frame.
All the elements in the frame are pre-attached to each other so there is nothing to guess. You can have this chair ready in 15 seconds or so.
For transportation, you have a nice zippered carry bag included, it is equipped with a carry handle shown in the picture below.
The backrest is very high as you see from the picture below, so you have a true padded headrest here. This is why it is included in my list of camping chairs with a headrest.
The materials
The frame is an aluminum alloy, and note that there are no plastic hub elements here. The feet have some plastic cups that should help if you use the chair on a soft ground.
The fabric is with a surprisingly high denier value, this is a 900D polyester, and you also have mesh panels for breathability. The mentioned headrest is with a foam inside.
They offer two different colors shown in the pictures, that match the color of the carry bag as well. Note that you also have a side pocket for small items. Please see more in this video:
