Exped chair kit - Exped Chair Kit

This my third Exped Chair Kit. I returned the first two to Campsaver because the stiffener-rods in the kit were next to impossible to remove. In the first two kits, I was only able to remove one or two of the four stiffeners. In the third kit I received, the stiffeners are easily removable. I still wish the kit had the pillow pocket the previous generation chair kit had. I use the chair kit with my Exped Downmat 5 Lite inflatable sleeping pad. The materials used have proven very durable. I've used the chair kit on dirt, gravel and rocky terrain. With the stiffeners removed, I open the zipper to deflate the sleeping pad, leave the pad in the chair kit cover and roll it up to a pretty compact package. I can roll it up the combined chair kit and sleeping pad to within 20-30% of the size of the Down Mat 5 Lite by itself.
