hey woofers....

go outdoors have the carp chairs then? guess they'll be worthy of a visit soon then... just a bit worried they may be too low and comfy - once I'm on it I'll not get off!

i've drifted to other sides during the bleak winter months, but this site always pulls me back 

my sis in law has a lafuma that she rates... they are expensive tho, when some of the wannabees look just as good?

nice to see you again... adl

We (Valbarley, me and our OH's) all did a lafuma chair test when we went to Go Outdoors versus the cheaper version

I think we all pretty much preferred the Lafuma one, I thought it was much comfier, spose thats what you pay for

Yep GO have this fishing chair (tried to add a link but it appeared at the top of the page in the yellow bit....weird)

Anyways good luck hope you find something to park yourself on

Have to say they do look good... Maybe a shopping trip at the weekend looms!

Thank you all for your advice...

  Hi ADL, have got to recommend again (if you look other posts up about chairs I always offer the same recommendation)

  These Royal Commader chairs are great for the larger and taller person.  OH is a big guy 6'1" and probably 24st and we have had these chairs for over a year now and they are very comfy, there is no strain on the material and the legs are very sturdy.  They have metal arms, which some people arn't keen on, but I think gives the chair greater stability, the seat is quite high, therefore probably not recommended for someone with little legs!

  OH spent the previous year testing out every blooming camping chair going and this got his vote (at the time tried it out at a motorhome exhibition and didn't have a clue what it was called and had to look it up on 'tinternet)

  Good luck with your own testing

  Best wishes Sam

We got a pair of High Gear Hawaii recliners last year which were on sale at £50 each and they are the comfiest chairs that I have sat on. The Lafumas were almost three times as expensive and I honestly thought that the High Gear was better made. The Lafuma creaked a lot when you sat in it whilst the High Gear felt really solid with no creaks. I over heard the staff at Go Outdoors saying that anyone paying the extra premium for the Lafuma's must be barking mad, as the High Gears were as good if not better.

The down side to these recliners is the bulk. We get them in our car ok with all our gear, but there are only two of us. Anyone with kids would need a very large car or a trailer.

We trundled off to Go Outdoors in Coventry today and liked the Hi Gear Vermont chairs so much we came home with two. Amazing price for a very comfortable chair that reclines and includes a headrest, 29.99. Then we went mad and bought two stool/tables so we can put our feet up as well, 14.99 each. Complete decadence!
