It has Yeti’s signature double wall vacuum insulated interior that keeps your drinks at the perfect temperature, whether you’re enjoying a cup of hot coffee or a mug of cold beer. Its magslider lid keeps the drink securely contained yet easily sippable. The nice 5-inch ozark trail canopy wide handle is the perfect size for comfortable gripping. It’s a shopper favorite scoring over 3,900 seals of approval, too. No other chair in our testing pool—except perhaps the extremely pricey Yeti Trailhead—came close to matching the King Kong’s build quality.
It has an added perk of a serrated edge on the outer side of the fork to triple as a knife, too. It is made out of durable nylon and measures a mere 7 inches long. It has two holes on the handle so you can attach the included tether in one of them, and then hook it to your backpack to keep it at reach. Moon Lence released a new generation of its Portable Camping Chair; this new version has a redesigned base and more mesh ventilation than its predecessor.
It comes with a five-year warranty for its frame and a two-year warranty for its fabric; this rivals the warranty for our top lightweight pick. Renetto licenses its patent to a company called Kelsyus, which makes cheaper versions of the chair. There are also chairs that are hybrids between categories, such as the Nemo Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair, which comes highly rated and recommended. Weighing about 8 pounds, the Coleman chair is lighter than most traditional models, so it’s easier to grab from deep in a car trunk or to carry for long distances.
These ice packs are extra-large too, measuring 4.75 by 0.5 by 7 inches. They’re made of BPA-free plastic with a non-toxic gel inside. Unlike ice, these don’t melt leaving messy water all over your food inside the cooler either. Plus, they can be refrozen and used over and over again. Senior editor Kalee Thompson, who wrote a previous version of this guide, has been regularly using the Coleman chair she originally tested in 2016.
This chair comes with a sturdy carrying case, with an over-the-shoulder strap, and it’s simple to expand and fold up accordion-style. A portable cooler is an essential item to take on any outing, and this bestseller can keep ice for up to two days, according to the brand. It measures 8 by 12.25 by 12.25 inches and has a 16-can capacity, so there’s plenty of space for food or drinks.
This chair costs slightly more than the Coleman Cooler Quad Chair, but it’s still a budget-friendly option. It delivers a solid baseline of build quality, comfort, and reliability that we didn’t find in other, similarly priced chairs. This time-tested classic is reasonably priced, roomy, and dependable enough to last for years. It’s not our lightest, most comfortable, or toughest pick, but it’s close enough, and it’s reasonably priced.
