Sportneer Portable Lightweight Folding Camping Chair Review – Incredible Price

Sportneer Portable Lightweight Folding Camping Chair is a versatile backpack-portable and nicely packable chair with an incredible price tag.

Key features

Where to buy

• Check on Amazon, the price you have there is simply incredible and the shipping conditions are usually the best in view of their stores on several continents.
• It is available also at Walmart.

What type of camping chair is this

They use the word Lightweight in the name of this chair. In fact, I included it in my list of the ultralight backpacking chairs. With its incredible 2 lb (907 g) of weight, it deserves to be there.

This is a collapsible type that packs nicely into its carry bag which is only 14 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches (36 x 14 x 14 cm). But this also implies it needs an assembly, though this is easily done without any tool as you see from the picture below. All the tubes are shock-corded and attached to each other so you cannot lose them or get confused even in the dark. 

What is included

• The chair with all shock-corded tubes as one single piece.
• The sling.
• The carry bag.

The carry bag can be attached to the chair to serve as a storage pouch, but you can also attach it to your pack as the picture shows:

Who is it for

Weight-wise, this is such a light chair that you can use it for any outdoor activity, but also for summer open-air concerts and similar activities.

It is small enough to be carried attached to a backpack, on a bicycle, on a motorbike, in a kayak, etc. So this is a very versatile item.

Capacity-wise, this tiny chair is capable of supporting up to 350 lb (159 kg). You will be able to compare it with some of its competitors, there is a comparison table below.

Size-wise, the dimensions are very good for such a type, and you will be able to realize this from the comparison table below.

The seat is 11 inches (28 cm) above the ground, so it may be a bit low for very tall people and also for elderly users.

Materials & construction

Such a great weight of this chair is due to its advanced aluminum alloy pole design. As mentioned above, they are all interconnected for an easy setup. The sling is a 600D ripstop Oxford cloth and mesh on the back, so this is all breathable and suitable for summer camping.

The connectors are a hard plastic and the legs are with anti-slip caps. I have seen people asking if they sink in a soft ground and sand and the answer is yes. I would not use them inside a floored family camping tent either. This is a design for a hard surface, see the picture.

Sportneer Portable Camping Chair vs Competitors

I have decided to show this chair side by side with one which is close to its weight, the Leki Sub 1, and the Helinox Chair Zero which is currently the lightest chair on the market. The idea is to see what you can expect if you are willing to pay more, both of them are far more expensive. Please follow the links for more.
