King Kong Chair

Gear Review:  ALPS King Kong Chair


I really like this chair.  It is NOT a backpacking chair, but it is a great outdoor activity chair.  It has a lot of space, strength, and ability to support not only me but heavy bags or items that often  can get tossed on a chair.

sturdy steel frame
The Alps King kong Chair (ALPS: $79.99; Amazon: $79.99) weighs 13 pounds and is made out of 600D Polyester with a steel frame.  It has two cup holders, a large side pocket on each arm rest and another back mesh pocket.  It does come with a carrying bag.

Big cup holder
and side pockets
I would not recommend this chair for backpacking--it's just too big for that.  But if you're driving up to a campsite or a sporting event, or have a neighborhood party a few houses down it's not bad to carry at all.  The strength and stability of the chair make it a first choice for me just about every time.

Other people really seem to like it too--it has 4.7 stars out of 5 on Amazon, with 6,624 ratings!  There are a good number of video reviews, lots of photos, and great comments from verified purchasers.  Be sure to check out this chair.
