KAMUI Camping Chair Portable Compact Light-Weight Folding with Side Pocket and Larger Feet, Ideal for Beach, Camping, Park, Picnic, Outdoor, Camo

Product Information

There are a few less essential extras, such as how the chair performs in the weather, the ease of cleaning the chair and the warranty.

Overall, the Kamui is a very lightweight, portable camping chair that will be light enough for almost everyone. If you’re on a desperate ultralight mission to cut every gram, you could save 454g by choosing the Helinox Chair Zero, but you’ll have to be willing to pay more than three times the price of the Kamui. It’s perhaps unsurprising to see that it suffers from some of the typical stability issues these sorts of chairs have. The chair leg pole connectors are made out of plastic which is a potential point of failure. I’ll update this review in the future if there are any issues. Other factors to consider I’ve put these chairs through the wringer – from high peaks to breezy coastlines – all to help you reclaim the fun (and some storage space) in your outdoor expeditions. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking to enjoy a festival with minimal fuss, these chairs have got you covered.

Would I recommend the Helinox Chair One? Yes, I actually would. It’s an excellent chair with a sterling reputation. But if you’re at all price-conscious, I suggest you consider the Kamui chair a great alternative. Now, all things used outdoors eventually get covered in mud. I reached out to KAMUI about whether you can clean the chair. The answer is yes, and it sounds pretty straightforward. Apart from its affordability, the Sportneer chair also claims a weight capacity of up to 150kg. Honestly, since all these chairs share such similar structural designs, it’s a bit challenging to confirm if their reported capacities should vary so much. When it comes to durability, the Kamui puts on a decent show. It’s got sturdy, light aluminium legs and robust cordura fabric. Although I’m keeping an eye on the plastic connectors to see how they hold up over the long term. A really unique feature of the Kamui chair is its wide disc feet. Circular plastic rings have been added to the ends of each chair leg, making the legs less likely to sink into wet ground.

Another potential point of failure is the pole connectors connecting the upper and lower poles. These connectors are made of plastic, a less durable material than the aluminium legs. To be fair to Kamui, the more expensive Helinox chairs also use plastic in the connectors. Now all inflatable sleeping mats do have these issues. Requiring air pressure means sleeping mats are just one of those products that are less durable than, say, a classic foam mat. Just a heads up, the scores I’ve changed in this review will probably change over time for several reasons. Setup is one of the areas that the Kamui mat excels as a self-inflating mattress. All you have to do is open the air nozzle and throw it on the ground. After five minutes or so, it has inflated itself to about 80% full. If you want a firmer mattress, you only need to blow through the nozzle a few more times.

I would say the Kamui is a pretty good buy given the price, but not a must buy. Price comparison Retailer DESIGNED FOR VERSATILE ENVIRONMENT: This outdoor chair includes larger feet that provide better stability, and prevent your chair from sinking into mud, sand or dirt. The feet at 4.5 cm in diameter are larger than other feet on the market and great feature for those post-rain picnics.
