Hi-Gear Mantua Deluxe Moon Chair

Product Information

The drinks holder in the right hand arm is of good quality and makes it a substantial improvement over their cheaper outdoor camping chair we reviewed previously, but for double the expense. Is it worth that extra? Well to our minds yes it is. If camping is a way of life for you, where you might spend many hours per year drinking in the countryside views, then having a decent chair is worth 30 quid of your money. You promised me the Moon and all I ended up with was this chair – well to be honest it was a great deal! The KingCamp Padded Director’s Chair continues that tradition and offers some nice little extras which raise it on to the winner’s podium of folding camping chairs. Is the Kingcamp worth the price tag? Well to our minds yes it is. If camping is a way of life for you, where you might spend many hours per year appreciating the countryside views, then having a decent chair is worth a modest outlay.

The KingCamp chair uses a tried and trusted folding collapsible leg system, seen on countless other competitors. However, in this case there are three poles emanating from the feet rather than the usual two – this provides greater stability than cheaper alternative. Although we haven’t tested it in the rain, it could probably provide some protection if it’s a light rain shower. The Hi-Gear Mantua Deluxe Moon Chair is a high-quality and comfortable camping chair that provides a unique and relaxing seating experience. It is perfect for camping trips, festivals, and other outdoor adventures where comfort and style are important.

In terms of comfort, it’s what we would call acceptable. Not earth shatteringly great, but fine for an hour or so to have dinner or a few drinks. It’s not the sort of chair you can sink in to and fall asleep – the sitting position is fairly upright.

The KingCamp chair uses a tried and trusted folding collapsible leg system, seen on countless other competitors. In this case there are three poles emanating from the rear feet rather than the usual two – this provides greater stability than cheaper alternatives.

Uploading

There is a standard drinks holder in the right armrest which can hold a 500ml bottle of ale, and also an awesome cooler box in the left – perfect to keep a couple of tinnies chilling on a hot day! It’s the age-old compromise – cost vs quality. Where does a great price start eating into the enjoyment of your item to the point where you wish you’d not bought it. This Marko camping chair is right on that price point – while it is by far the cheapest chair we’ve reviewed, it is certainly not terrible and we recommend it for those on a budget.
