ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chair

My old footrest bag chair of a different brand wore out after many, many years of good service. A replacement was surprisingly difficult to find. Luckily, I happened upon the ALPS chair at a fair price. I have not had it long enough to see if it will give me the long useful life as its predecessor. The chair is comfortable, not exceedingly heavy for its size. The fabric seems to be durable, but, again, time will tell. One thing I would change if I could is the footrest so that it could be adjusted to a level less than horizontal. It can be unclipped and lowered to the ground, but nothing in between. An addition I would like to see is a pillow-type headrest. All-in-all, I am satisfied with this chair.

It's a bit awkward getting in, but once you set yourself up you are good for hours. Read a book, enjoy the scenery! I really like that you can remove the foot rest and it is then an ordinary chair.

For 30 bucks I was skeptical of this chair. I thought it would be another cheap chair with a foot rest added. I was pleasantly surprised. The steel tube frame is thicker than the run of the mill 10 dollar wal mart chair. It has a nylon strap to hold up the armrest by the backrest which is really handy. Super comfy, its like a recliner.

I ordered two of ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chairs one for me and one for the husband. It's not only used for camping. We have been able to used them recently while watching our son's little league football. I have to say these are the most comfortable and relaxing folding chairs we've ever owned. It makes those long field practice days enjoyable. I sit, eat, drink, & catchup on reading or emails all in comfort. I like the built-in drink holder. The foot rest is designed to be adjustable. To me it's one of the best features on this chair. The chair arms are nice and wide not flimsy like the other chairs. My husband likes that this chair was designed with the tall guy in mind. It's backing come up high and rest right at my husband's neck for true comfort. On most other chairs the back side only comes half way up the back not giving you good back and neck support. The ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chair is so comfortable that you can even takes a nap in it. My husband likes the green color, matches all of our camp gear. I highly recommend the ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chair you won't be disappointed.

Bought this chair to elevate my legs at the end of long summer camp days. Chair is comfy and foot rest slows your legs to be elevated without putting strain on knees or back of calves. Smart X design allows you to have feet placed on either side to sit up/down comfortably. Weight was not a problem since it stayed at camp all week and price did not break the bank. Would definitely recommend buying this chair.
