If they make any which are made out of the same material they use for the Brinks money trucks those would be good for me..

I'm pretty sure this is officially called the "Pattar model". "The epitome of self isolation luxury for those out in RF beyond the fences and have been known to have emotional outbursts and uncontrollable tendencies to throw various objects in disgust." 🤪

I started with a traditional director's chair like the one in KrisHur's post. It was given to me with an embroidered backrest in 2003 and it's still holding up. I love that chair. It's durable, lightweight, and it doesn't hurt my back when I use it all day.

Somehow our family ended up with a folding chair like the Kiljaro XXL in benz99's post. It's definitely durable but I found my back would get sore after a couple of games. I definitely couldn't handle it for a full day.

I was always envious of the canopy chair in FP_Catcher_Dad's post but the chair part is the same as the Kiljaro so I never tried it.

A couple years ago our family needed a couple more chairs for camping so we bought the Timber Ridge two-pack in your original post. It's a little wider and seems to be even stronger than my first director's chair but it's also heavier. I found it to be just as as comfortable as the original director's chair.

I recommend any form of director's chair for all day back comfort. However, now that I've seen it, I must figure out where to buy or how to make the mobile assault unit pictured in Greatdaytobeawildcat's post!

Glad I found this one at Dicks Sports. Most comfortable collapsible chair I’ve sat in. Holds 400 lbs, if needed lol and you can actually sit back and it supports your head.
I had this one and didnt hold up for 1 season. I am nowhere near the 400 lb maximum either
Also from 1st time I used it was very difficult to slide back into folded up setting

We’ve had ours for 3-4 years now. Though I don’t sit in them unless it’s going to be one of those 4-5 game type of days, more walking around than sitting.

GCI came out with a new chair last year, Pod Rocker. We enjoy ours and they have a carry bag. Plus not a pain to put in or on top of the wagon like the standard rocker. I am able to slouch down, just need a foot rest or ottoman.

I feel like Pattar would sit with the solid side in front and the clear in back :unsure:

My wife has had lower back surgery and still experiences a lot of back pain. This is the only chair we have found that she can sit in. And we have tried a lot.

I just bought two of the Kijaro chairs on clearance at Walmart.

They are long when folded up but are good chairs. They also have a carry strap on the chair so I can throw away the dumb bag.
