ALPS MountaineeringGetaway Chair

Pros:Low profile, good construction quality, two straps on the bag (backpack style), mesh, armrest pockets, nice slight recline position, and very comfortable.Cons:Bag is a bit tight (but they all are), and oddly there's a large clear sewn-on pocket on the bag that seems to serve no purpose other than for the product info sheet from the mfgr.Little glitch. 2-weeks beyond the Amazon return period, one of the plastic feet has broken in half rendering one chair useless. It was only the 3rd use and the chair was never treated harshly. Had it ever actually gone camping it likely wouldn't have lasted the first day.Having said that, after contacting ALPS Mountaineering directly, they readily agreed to replace the defective chair - only asking that I cut the logo(s) from the defective one and mail it back with my RMA number. Great CS, so at this point I'm awaiting the replacement, and hoping the one plastic foot was just defective (as opposed to a design issue).Wow! One week from the time I emailed ALPS Mountaineering I had a new one FedEx'ed to my door. Clearly a stand-up company!

I'm not sure why this product has such high reviews based on my experience with it. There are some definite good things but there is a critical design flaw that makes this unusable in any kind of dirty or wet environment...so basically good luck if you want to use this chair outside and ever fold it up again.Pros:Mesh material is great - strong and durable and easy to clean.The cooler pouch seems good if you can find a use for that but you can't put anything in it unless you have the chair out of the bag and by that point I'd think you'd have a separate cooler anywayCons:Here is the big one: The metal frame of this chair has 2 sliding plastic pieces on the back legs which you can see in the product picture just above the feet on the bottom. These must be able to move in order to fold up the chair and any kind of sand or dirt or moisture that gets in it will prevent you from ever folding it again even with lubrication. I'm not sure why they did this since it's the only chair design I've ever seen that does this and it makes this completely unusable.It's also not very comfortable for tall people and without a shirt the edges of the mesh kept poking and scratching me.TLDR: Chair won't fold up after you use it in sand. I'm returning and getting something different for half the price that I know is reliable.

Great chair for the price! Well made and everyone gets a kick out the built-in mini-cooler! We took these out on a hot Texas summer day and the mesh provided excellent ventilation. They are very comfy too! My only complaint is that the edge/seam that sits right under your thigh is a little scratchy. Not an issue for my hubby whose shorts cover his thigh, but a minor annoyance for me and my girl shorts. I would buy again and recommend!

This chair is great. I do really like it. I don't like the cooler on the left side. It literally has no use. However, the stitching on the arm rest on the cooler side has come loose just after one weekend trip. I feel like for what I paid it should have lasted longer.

Chair is comfortable but the big drawback is intense chemical smell/odor. I had to soak and wash material for day and then put it in the hot sun for days now, to get rid of the smell, and it still has a way to go before I can finally use it. This is unusual for a folding chair.

This chair is okay. The space between the arms is narrow. The seat sits low and slings back slightly which is very comfortable for this type of folding chair. Because the chair is low, getting up is a bit challenging for some folks.My biggest complaint about this chair is the mesh. At spots where it is folded and sewn, it sticks through and creates scratchy spots at the shoulders, legs, etc. We took a lighter and melted these spots, but this took some time and is a short coming for the chair.

I took this with me to the Trans Pecos Festival in Marfa. It was nice as a concert-going chair, as it is so low-slung that you will have no fears about blocking another's view. That said, it's a bit low, and the back slips easily off the support pegs, which I find a small annoyance. Others have posted about the back supports jutting into one's shoulders, and I found that to be true.

This is a fantastic chair for relaxing around the campsite, or at the beach. The chair sits fairly low to the ground, , so it feels more like a lounging chair than anything, which makes it great for relaxing after a long day outdoors. A great plus is the insulated cooler on the left arm of the chair; something I failed to notice prior to purchasing. It wont keep your drinks cool for days at a time, but it's a nice feature if your chair is out in the sun, and you don't want to get up and walk ALL THE WAY to your primary cooler.

I'm presently overweight at 300 lbs and this product perfectly supported me during the first day of sitting in it and going in and out of it :) It's soooooo comfortable !!!! :D I am extremely pleased :D might actually watch TV in it :) LOL

Decent for the price. Kinda cheap feel. Also is very low to the ground, so tall people like myself won't enjoy as much

It's light weight, easy to put up and down, but you have to like slouching to appreciate it its comfort something I'm not comfortable with.

Los tubos se sienten de buena calidad la silla es como una tela espero resista , es un poco pesada

Very nice chairs pretty comfortable a little low to the ground but very comfy and sturdy can’t wait to go camping
