ALPS Mountaineering Weekender Seat - Green

I didn't know what to expect from this purchase, we were looking for canoe seats that would attach to the chair of the canoe and as such be easy to keep attached for portaging, while also serving us as seating at camp. These were great. Much more comfortable than I expected them to be. I would even find myself picking these over the hammock to sit in while I was reading in the afternoon. They were a great price and they seem to be very well made. I really appreciated the mesh pocket at the back also, great to keep a bottle of water in while we were canoeing (kept it from floating all over the bottom of the boat in the dirty lake water).

I especially like how slim and portable this seat is. Its not the most comfortable but being able to just strap this thing up and have a seat on some random log in the woods with a back rest is a game changer. And its light weight design really is the cherry on top, i know theres much better quality stuff out there but if anyone is reading, you need to decide wether you want a 8lb bulky but comfortable version or this lightweight average comfortable and super portable version.. i highly recommend it especially if its gonna be your first one, if you have used more supported ones you may want to look into the upgraded canoe version of this seat, it offers much more padding and a better back rest buttt the trade off is its a metal frame, not as slim or portable, still portable but definitely more supportive then this.. the price is what makes this seat a great option! Its held up well with over a year of heavy use on probably over 50 logs and bench type seats

Great chair overall, it is light and very functional. I would definitely feel fine packing this in my backpack for the long haul as it is pretty minimal in weight and not bulky at all. Beats sitting on the dirtPros:smalllightsomewhat adjustable for you angle of leanCons:back piece just a little short, after long periods of sitting my back is still a little soremesh pocket at back of chair is uselessI'll update as I have only had it for a few weeks and have yet to really abuse it.INFO: I am 5'8" 160lbs and the chair comes up just above midway on my back.

I have a bad back .. I love to camp .. ironic huh ?This seat makes car camping a totally new and ( almost ) pain-free experience ( way too big to hump into the woods )Very very well-made, strong straps and adjustment locks, nice mesh pocket on back for smaller items ( a book/ magazine, phone, flip flops, ..... ) carry strap, good color, comfortable and well worth the moneyI use this at picnic tables, on a footprint, and even inside my tent - just put an el-cheapo gardening sponge mat from the dollar store down first, and you have a camp reclinerGreat for lifting knees to stretch out small of back whIle sitting comfortably in a small areaThis has extended my enjoyment of the outdoors for yearsIf you have back pain, you understand already - if not, buy this before you get back pain

Nice product. Looks nice, works well

I bought it for Bonnaroo this year, and it worked out pretty well (anyone going to Bonnaroo needs one of these IMHO). It's not the most comfortable of seats, but my major objection is that the back tends to collapse on me. I've tried a number of the strap settings, but it keeps collapsing. For the record, I am 6'1" and 170lbs. Perhaps my height and weight are contributing.Side note:I'm a pretty skinny guy, but I can't imagine how someone more heavyset would fit into this seat. It's very narrow.Pros:WorksInexpensiveComfortable enoughCons:Back keeps collapsing. There were very few settings with the straps that 'kinda' worked.

I have a 4 year old that loves to ride in my kayak with me, but there is nothing for him to sit on. This seat does not have metal sides which makes it perfect to scrunch up and insert it into a kayak. This is very well made for the price and I also plan on using for outdoor concerts as an adult.

I bought this item to replace a Crazy Creek seat I gave to my nephew. I mostly use this for overnight hiking/camping because it easily straps into the back of my 65L backpack.I've read some of the reviews, and I'm left shaking my head. Obviously, some buyers are expecting too much out of this seat.What this seat isn't. A firm structured seat that gives you unlimited support.What this seat is. An easily packable, minimalist seat that can easily be attached to daypacks & overnight packs to allow you rest on the trail with padding and back support (when you really need it) and also I nice seat at your campsite.This seat is just as nice as the Crazy Creek for less money. I used my Crazy Creek a lot and plan to use this one just as much. I'v already used this seat on a Boy Scout hiking/camping trip, and as a chair back on a canoeing trip. The seat held up well and gave me the support I expected.I've given this review four stars to start and will revise after I've had more use. A great all-round seat with a lot of uses.
