Robens Searcher chair

Ever since I began using our Robens Vista 400 inflatable tent, I’ve become a bit of a fan of their products, and I’ve assembled quite a collection.

The recent product to adorn our camping pile is their tough and surprisingly comfortable Searcher foldable chair.

Once removed from its own carry bag, which is included, it only takes around 10 seconds for me to connect all the legs and be ready to lounge for the rest of evening.

The sturdy steel frame is lightweight and has a maximum load of 120kg, or if you’re old like me and prefer it in old money, that’s 18.9stone.  Compared to other chairs of its ilk, it’s shaped so that it sits at a more sociable angle making it ideal for gatherings with friends and family, as well as sitting at a table for lunch, though it has to be a low table as the seat height is only 43cm.

In practise, because the feet don’t open that far apart, on uneven ground it can be a little tippy, but once you’re aware of that you’ll be fine.  If you like to man-splay whilst sitting, you may find that the bottom of your thighs can catch a bit on the front corner edges, and therefore it can become a bit uncomfortable.  I’ve found that this is typical for the kind of chair it is, and is easily remedied.

When you’re done, the legs come apart like that of tent poles as they’re held together by elastic and once folded and put away in its bag the whole thing measures 50 x 14 x 12cm.

The seat itself is made from 600D 100% Oxford polyester with the mesh fabric being 100% polyester for enhanced breathability and comfort.

Overall it’s a well built and comfortable chair, that’s ideal if you’re short of space.
