Well, one of those cheaper mesh chairs, the arm rest wont stay up. Rubber grommet gone. Going to be attending outdoor concerts and need new portable, folding chairs. Academy Sports had a good collection, so did REI. Some without armrests would be tiring. Saw a zero gravity lounger, could also be good for the beach, but never used one and it is on the heavier side. Did see a rocker with a pneumatic leg, and it felt good. Not particularly high backed. Just with sitting three plus hours, don't want to overlook something and now that I have a tinge of sciatica, thought I would ask for comments or suggestions.

My family is currently using Trekology's ultralight chairs (they weigh 2.5lbs, pack very small, and hold 300lbs). They've been in some adventuresome places, and thus far are holding up fine.

I believe they have a beach version with bigger feet to resist penetrating into the sand, but here's the link for the one I use: https://amzn.to/2wFAE1d

(I have the black chairs with orange accents; it's a nice-looking chair.)

I am not presently in need of any more collapsible outdoor chairs, but if I did, the Trekology Ultralight Chairs you describe would be near the top of my list of those under consideration. They seem a lot lighter, more convenient and less expensive than the ones we currently drag around with us!

Those lightweight zero gravity chairs would not be easy to lug around, but for the perfect place to relax on the deck they reign supreme. My poor old beat up back always thanks me for plunking it down on one of those.

Went and tried some at REI. They have a store brand that is extra wide, $59.50, good option. The cheap ones we have, it is like sitting vertically in it, though it has armrests. Uncomfortable after an hour. I am liking the GCI Pod Rocking chair ($55), but wonder if a pod-style would be good for three hours at a concert or not. They have a Firepit Rocker that sits lower, and a Roadtrip Rocker that has a higher back and fixed arms. Other than that, there are some Big Comfort Chairs by Magellan that might work at $20

The Yeti chairs are amazing. But quite heavy

At $300 a pop, they should be amazing. I'll pay those exorbitant prices for the cups and the coolers, but not for a folding chair. And besides, they are just not that comfortable! If I should spend that much for a folding chair, I would quite literally expect it to kiss my a**! :icon_scratch: :crazy:

Here I am at Patrick AFB, FL, trying on a Zero Gravity chair for size. I think I might have drifeted off there for a few moments, as the wife came around and said "Okay dear, I get the point...it's time to go home!" LOL.
