Kenda’s tires are also shockingly good, offering decent traction across a wide ozark trail chair range of conditions. When paired with flat-pedal shoes (costing a third of the bike’s price), the bike’s plastic flat pedals even felt grippy and supportive—good stuff. This might come as a surprise to many, but the test riders were all smiles when it came to the climbs on this bike.
Recommended for anyone up to 500 pounds who is looking for a basic camp chair. The box-shaped cupholder is a little roomier than the round cupholders on the Coleman and the L.L.Bean Base Camp chairs—better for stubby water bottles or mugs of hot chocolate around the campfire. This chair’s big canopy provides ample sun protection at a campsite or sporting event, and it doubles as a backpack-strap-equipped carrying case. Testers preferred the Coleman chair’s thoughtfully placed mesh storage pouch over those of its competitors. This pouch is big enough to stow gear like a phone, book, or tablet. It’s more affordable than other chairs we tested of similar quality.
Normally, we’d caution against buying a chair with a significantly wider seat than you need. In the case of a recliner or lounge chair, it matters because if the seat is too wide, you won’t be able to use more than one of the armrests effectively. But where camp chairs are concerned, it’s not the end of the world.
Although somewhat small in diameter, the lock-on grips are surprisingly comfortable and tacky. Interestingly, the bike comes with a 300-pound rider weight limit that is most likely related to the components more than the frame. It comes with a simple LTWOO A5 9-speed, 1×9 drivetrain with a trigger-style shifter. Shifting performance is as good as any other value-oriented drivetrain or slightly better. Even under moderate pedal loads, the system shifts fairly quickly and smoothly. The biggest things it’s missing compared to far more expensive versions are a clutch in the derailleur to control chain slap and a narrow/wide chainring tooth profile to keep the chain on.
Under this cooperative relationship, the Ozark Trail Council oversaw the construction of some 170+ miles of trail in just under a decade. Along with previously existing trails, the Ozark Trail system contained more than 200 miles of trail by 1991. The founding of the Ozark Trail Association was made possible by numerous partners. Four years later, the first sections of new trail were under construction. It is simple yet more than adequate enough to meet all your everyday wagon-ing needs and event planning.
We were somewhat surprised to see Presta-style valves after decades of Schrader style on bikes like this. Surprisingly, it has internal cable routing, as well as ports for a stealth-routed dropper seatpost. The rest of the frame is standard-issue spec with a tapered head tube, threaded bottom bracket, and water-bottle bosses located on the seat tube and downtube. Tote your gear effortlessly with Upgo’s collapsible wagon, which is 50 percent off for Labor Day.
The straight handle has a 180-degree turn capability, plus the sides are foldable to make room for difficult-sized loads. The sides can even be completely removed by pulling out the pins along the bottom of the side panels. Regarding extras, the Ozark Trail XXL Director camping chair has a fold-out side table attached to one of the chair arms. The table is big enough to hold a small plate, which makes camp dining convenient, and a few miscellaneous supplies if and as needed. However, it is ozark trail tumbler marginally above average in terms of comfort compared to other camp chairs.
