Alite Mantis Packable Chair

Alite Mantis Packable Chair

The Mantis is big brother to Alite’s Monarch chair. Yes, it’s somewhat bigger and heavier, but we found it to be more stable and more comfortable. The Monarch rests on only two legs and we had to use our legs to provide the rest of the stability, a nice rocking motion ensues, but it can get tiring.

The Mantis has four legs and feels quite stable, yet it still rocks. Light at 2 pounds and it assembles quickly, while folding into a 5 x 5 x 17″ package. The sturdy breathable fabric cradles your body and holds up to 250 pounds. Probably the most comfortable seating you would consider carrying in your backpack. It’s also, as we say in the Rockies, “Telluride legal” — or low enough for concert seating where you can sit down front with the folks on blankets.

$110

Roorkhee British Campaign Safari Chair

Roorkhee British Campaign Chair

We’re always on the lookout for better camp furniture. This campaign chair is named in honor of the headquarters of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers at Roorkhee, India and a mainstay of the Army and Navy Stores Catalogs.

The Roorkhee chair was among the most popular models of campaign chairs used by British Officers from approximately 1898 to the start of WW II. They needed a chair that was lightweight, could be folded up, carried around easily and loaded onto a packhorse. It also needed to be comfortable and able to adapt to use on uneven terrain without breaking.

This chair weighs 11 pounds and is 34” tall and 21” wide and collapses down flat for easy transport.

$599
