For a supermarket brand, the Ozark Trail Outdoor Equipment series offers great value with good quality products and a large range of camping essentials available from tents to sleeping bags. We also didn’t care for the loud chain slap on the chainstay. Since there isn’t a clutch in the derailleur’s spring to control chain slack, padding is sorely needed on the chainstay. A few dollars spent on self-fusing tape silences things nicely. Its best features are, in our view, the width of the seat, the generous amount of supported weight, and its surprisingly modest price. The seatback has some slightly padded sections that do at least a little something to enhance comfort, and the armrests are nominally padded, too. But this isn’t the chair you’ll want to spend most of the day in. The Ozark Trail XXL Director Chair is a reasonably comfortable, versatile camp chair, offered by a reliable company. We couldn’t help but wonder how this $398 mountain bike rides. Our curiosity got the best of us, so we strolled into our local store and bought one to see what it’s made of in every sense of the word. It’s the lightest, most portable chair that is still comfortable. The Helinox Chair One weighs about 2 pounds, compresses smaller than a 2-liter bottle of soda, and is our most lightweight pick. Our testers consistently said the King Kong chair was the most heavy-duty-feeling model of all the chairs we tested. There are also chairs that are hybrids between categories, such as the Nemo Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair, which comes highly rated and recommended. GCI Outdoor makes several rocking chairs, and we plan to try more of them to see if they’re any better than the Freestyle Rocker, which we weren’t enthusiastic about. Unbeatable deal if you're looking to buy several chairs at once. These are occasional seating options, and you won’t typically spend such extended periods sitting in one that it starts to be an issue. The canopy is big enough to block most, if not all, sunlight any time of day, and the chair’s seat has a strip of breathable mesh down the middle for airflow. Senior staff writer Lauren Dragan said the Renetto is her most comfortable camping chair. It can hold a lot of supplies, and it’s easy to carry and set up. The King Kong chair has two cupholders and intuitively placed storage pouches under each armrest; unlike the Coleman chair, though, this one doesn’t have a cooler pouch. Senior editor Kalee Thompson, who wrote a previous version of this guide, has been regularly using the Coleman chair she originally tested in 2016. We were even able to scale climbs and clean sections that have stopped other far more expensive bikes in their tracks. Surprisingly, it has internal cable routing, as well as ports for a stealth-routed dropper seatpost. The rest of the frame is standard-issue spec with a tapered head tube, threaded bottom bracket, and water-bottle bosses located on the seat tube and downtube. Save $77 on Qomotop’s four-person tent, which only takes 10 seconds to set up. The interior is spacious enough to accommodate a queen-sized mattress and other gear and is recommended for up to two adults and two children. The chair is simple to use and functional, without all the bells and whistles of some of the more luxurious models out there. The frame is robust and both the arms and frame are sturdy enough to push yourself up from. Some sections have restrictions on their use in order to be compatible with the goals and purposes of the various public and private landholders whose property the trail crosses.
