Chairs

Camping chairs are an essential part of any event, camping trip, outdoor BBQ or picnic. They are essentially a portable chair that packs up and folds down easily for the ultimate in portable comfort. Sitting on the floor just doesn’t cut it. At Outback Equipment we understand that being comfortable when cooking, eating and enjoying the scenery is better done from the convenience of a chair. We have a camping chair to make everyone is happy and we only stock the best camping chairs on the market. Below we answer some of the commonly asked questions about camping chairs. 

How much does a camping chair weigh? 

On average a camping chair will weigh between 1kg and up to 12kgs. If you have more than one person travelling in a vehicle you will want to think about what kind of space you can afford to fill up with camping chairs. It also very much depends on the time of year and where you are traveling to. In some parts of Australia, like WA winds can reach up to 30km an hour on a normal day, so a camping chair that only weighs 1.5kg will not stay put in these conditions. Weight does not necessary give you an indication of how easy it will be to transport. Some camping chairs have additional side tables that make it heavier and therefore more wind resistant, but do not fold in on themselves meaning you do need to find more space.  

Who makes the best camping chairs? 

At Outback Equipment we only stock the most reputable and high-quality Australian companies who manufacture camping chairs to the conditions we all know and experience in the outback. Oztrail, Oztent and Darche are leading the market with the best camping chairs Australia has to offer. We personally test all of the camping chairs we stock and these guys are our top picks for a reason. 

How to store camping chairs? 

When you get back from your trip, your camping chairs will either be muddy/sandy or both. So, it is important to clean them properly and store them in a cool, dry area out of the sun. This will ensure your camping chairs stay rust free and the stitching intact. When you are on the road, we highly recommend storing your chairs inside the provided carry bags, so they do not scratch or rip on sharp edges of the inside of your canopy or vehicle.
