The 4-pound, steel-framed REI chair has an attached ozark trail canopy carry strap, rather than a carry bag (which the other chairs have). After a couple of camping trips, we concluded that a strap is more convenient than a bag—it’s quicker and easier for a kid to grab the chair and go, without parental help. It’s sturdy build, combined with a generous weight capacity and a longer back panel for extra support, make this a solid option for all age groups as it’s simple to set up and fairly portable.
It ranked less well on Design and also under Performance simply due to the fact that it’s slightly bulky and large to carry over long distances – not perfect for hiking but just the ticket for camping. It’s not the typical cutting-edge, high-performance model we test and all dream of. However, it pushes the boundary of reasonable entry-level performance to all-time record low in terms of price. Hardcore mountain bikers often pay far more for a single component upgrade than this whole bike costs.
It’s a great option for picnics in the countryside or a day at the lakeside. Got some questions about the Ozark Trail Comfort Camping Chair? Check out these frequently asked questions for valuable insights, tips, and practical information to help you make the most of your camping chair. The cup holder was a bonus and would fit the majority of standard water bottles, cans and thermos flasks.

Owing to its extra-wide seat, the first thing you’ll notice about this oversized director’s chair is that it looks rugged and robust. The Ozark Trail XXL Director chair’s metal frame also has an all-business look about it too, which clearly sends the message that this is a go-anywhere chair. Testers consistently ranked this chair as one of the most comfortable models (typically second to the Yeti Trailhead, which costs almost four times as much).
The sections vary in length from 8 to 40 miles (13 to 64 km). The longest continuous stretch available for hiking in as of 2008[update] is 225 miles (362 km), from Onondaga Cave State Park to the Eleven Point River. The exact routes for incomplete sections have not been established, so the total length of the trail when completed remains undetermined. The Ozark Trail Association was founded in 2002, and has added more than 50 miles of trail to date, most constructed by volunteers. The association continues to maintain and expand the Ozark Trail. April 29th, 2006 was proclaimed “Ozark Trail Day” by Missouri’s governor, and in May 2008 a portion of the trail was designated a National Recreational Trail.
Compared with cheaper chairs of its kind (like those from Walmart), the REI Co-op chair functions better and will last much longer. You can stow this featherlight, compressible chair in a backpack or even a work bag. I would find it challenging to carry this chair long distances with a backpack and all my other kit. It is much longer than other chairs and although it’s not particularly heavy, it’s slightly bulky and not as portable as the OEX Ultra Lite Camping Chair for example.
This chair comes with a sturdy carrying case, ozark trail chair with an over-the-shoulder strap, and it’s simple to expand and fold up accordion-style. Convenient carrying bag makes is easy to keep in the trunk. Higher back and a head rest that make it more comfortable. Good design with a small pocket to place your cell phone or snacks near the cup holder. Sturdy arm rests and sits a little higher from the ground, making it a great choice for taller people.
