PSA: That $80 'ultra-light' camp chair is a total joke...

Bought one for a trip to the Smokies last month, thinking it would be a game-changer. The fabric ripped on the second night just from me leaning back to look at the stars. It was basically fancy aluminum foil and thread... I'm back to my old, slightly heavier one that's lasted five seasons. Anyone have a real suggestion for a chair that won't fall apart?

Sounds like you paid for the stars, not the chair.

Laura's got it right, you're basically buying a fancy name tag instead of a place to sit. Seen it happen with tools too, where the brand costs triple for the same steel. Makes you wonder who actually falls for that stuff.
