Reviews & Ratings for Big Agnes Cyclone SL Chair kit — 8 reviews — Page 1

I ordered a factory demo. It looked new. weighs 7.5 oz, (9 oz in it's carry sack which does not have to be used) holds my 3/4 thermorest self inflatable pad and provides the needed back support. Is comfortable perched atop my bear can, a log or a rock, or seated on the ground. can rock in it. Easy to insert the pad. To protect the fabric from abrasion I put my thermorest z sit pad under it (adds a little more cushioning as well). I suspect the fabric may be a bit fragile so some care should be taken to be gentle with it. +I haven't taken it camping in the wilds yet but have set up camp in my rural yard and found the chair to be very comfortable. It's 16" by 1.25" x.5" when folded up and inserted into its carry bag, thus it easily slides into an outside pocket of a pack.When not configured as a chair it can be laid out as a large clean cloth to lay food, clothes or gear on. The aluminum stabilizing rods are stiched into the sides of the chair and can't be removed. I personally would prefer removable foldable shock corded stays but it's not a big deal for me. I'm 77, 5' tall female and I really missed having comfortable seating with back support so am looking forward to having this chair on a forth coming thru hike of the John Muir Trail.

With a mummy pad (Clearview Air Pad - 20x72), the rounded edges are still workable, but don't fold into the chair as securely.

I like to backpack, but really need a comfy seat in camp! I'm trying to go lightweight, so got this addition to my gear. It works greta, but is a bit fussy...stuffing a NeoAir into it is tricky....have to deflate the pad, inseart and inflate just enough to work. But, it's still the best alternative I know.

This construction is very lightweigt, so it is easy to take on any trip where you would also take the inflatable sleeping mat. It was very easy to set up, and comfortable to sit in. The best of it all was however the envy it created from the hunting friends because it looks so very comfortable;-)

I've gone through a variety of options over the years, in search of the right object/device for sitting around the campfire after a long day of backpacking. From lightweight aluminum chairs like the Slinglite to self inflating pads to exercise mats cut into squares. While each had some degree of functionality there was always a trade off--weight vs. comfort.

Frankly I stayed away from getting one

This thing is a life saver! After hours of trekking with a heavy pack, it is awesome just to sit down...but sitting down on a padded chair with a BACKREST= AMAZING. Everyone on the mountain is jealous! It does take some practice to learn how to fold your sleeping pad so it fits into this sleeve/chair, I suggest doing some dry runs at home. Oh, and only inflate your mattress about half way before y

Incredibly light piece of gear to convert your big agnes pad into a chair. Doesn't take much air at all to inflate the pad for chair usage. However, since it is so light, it may not be as durable as you like (or offer protection to pad). I have had no problems, but will use it carefully, mostly to protect the pad (not the chair). 4 stars just becasue of'possible' durability.
