Alite Designs Mantis Chair, Par Blue

We love love love these chairs. When they first arrived I was extremely disappointed, calling these chairs "baby chairs". I thought I'd ordered kiddie chairs or something...BUT in less than 5 minutes I was changing my mind. Everyone in the house tried out the chairs and everyone had to be physically removed when their turn was over. Light weight, we carry these chairs everywhere we go, so very comfortable to sit it. Possibly a little awkward at first because they are so low to the ground, but with a nearby tree or rock to steady you as you sit or stand and you're all good. Extremely well-made and easy to set up and break down. Remarkably strong, too. Almost weird.

Have had Alite chairs over the past few years. Started with their smaller monarch chair which is great that you can backpack or car camp with it. The Mantis chair is a huge improvement step up from the monarch. Easy to balance, doesn't tip easy, and still packable for camping or backpacking. Leg height is not much but seems to be perfect to keep you off the snow or mud.

Great light weight chair for the trail! Great height on the back, comfortable and packs up pretty small. This was my second chair, as my first one sadly was not up to par. legs were wobbly, and the chair did not sit right on the ground, only three legs were touching. The company did try to help, but the chair was just a dud. Took a risk and tried another purchase from amazon, and glad I did! Got a great chair with no problems. /liked it so much I bought another one! They are on the expensive side, so watch for sales and coupons. Now getting out of the chair is a bit of a challenge, as it's only 8" off the ground! So with strong legs muscles and practice, no problem!! This chair is also perfect for in low tents, gives you great head room!

These chairs are great, but I would avoid them if you are 225lb, or greater. They are light and strong. Easy to carry and I keep them in the car all the time.

Only thing I would change would be the packsack. There should be instructions on how to make the chair material smaller when packing up after use. The quality is great.

Room is always a concern when adventure riding so finding a chair with this quality and fit was great. Highly recommend this chair. A little pricy but you get what you pay for.

I can not wait to use this at festivals this year. its light, easy to sit it... a bit hard to get out of, but will have my mobility assistance dog in tow, so it won't be an issue. but take note... to anyone with issues with getting UP this chair might not be good for you.. get a Helinox Chair One Camp Chair Black/Blue (also have one of these, so look for the review) instead. its very easy to set up also.. I know some of the other reviews said it was difficult.. and it is NOT!

Awesome chair - Will comfortably hold a large male adult
