Good purchase - Exped Chair Kit

Overall I really like this. Yes, it does not pack down as well as I would like, and getting the poles out of their sleeves is a royal pain. However, once it is all together it really makes my tent experience so much more enjoyable. I do not use this outside the tent as a chair - for that I have a Helinox chair which is much more comfortable. As I get older I find it is not as easy for me to get up from ground chairs and the like. However - this makes a huge difference for me inside the tent. After I retire for the night I can elevate the back and use it as a lounger. I have enough room in my tent that it allows me to read at night comfortably. It is also helpful to elevate my head and chest - I suffer from acid reflux and by elevating I can keep it at bay, especially if I have a large meal later at night than normal.

It is fairly easy to adjust the angle as well, although I have had a few times where I had to fully sit up and mess with the straps to get them to release.

Not sure I would take it backpacking, but it stays on the pad for all my regular camping trips.
