Backpacking chair failure points

[petedelisio]

Another 05/95 diy gear mod post.

What was the failure point in your mass production backpacking chair(s)? Or predictions of such.

Improvement mods to consider?

Looking at the average chair for these days, I’m considering duck tape etc. or fabric repair tape, or ???, or something like pvc caps or the like.
To go into the pockets in the material where the tubing inserts. Yes chair protection.

I’ve been irritated over two decades with your average outdoor chair extreme premature failures, and maybe some of these ideas are needed to raise chair prices.

What ideas do you have to raise chair prices. And make your camp chair last longer.

Your diy camp chair is welcome here.

I've had a thermarest chair for quite a long time now. Still holding up. I'm not a fan of the newer design where they have opened the sleeve that wraps around the top and bottom. Used to be a pocket which I feel is a little firmer.

I have several of the small framed chairs which weren't advertised as backpacking chairs when I purchased them so I only paid $25 for them. About the same size and weight as the hiking models. I take them to concerts and festivals sometimes. They tend to sink into wet ground as they don't have wide feet. They are also about 1/2 pound heavier them my T-rest chair.

What do you mean by "raise chair prices"?

is the Walk Stool any good?

is the Walk Stool any good?

Don’t know and started to lean towards that style stool but decided I want a chair that can remove as much weight from my feet, legs, back as much as possible.
A slight reclined chair like backpacking chairs kinda sorta almost get you in a laying down position giving your body almost a close to maximum resting position. So I’m going in the chair direction instead of a stool type.

If there are any gear making heads that think they have the ability to manufacture, market, profit well from a furniture design idea.
Message me if you don’t mind sharing good profits with the idea man.
