Lafuma Maxi Pop-Up Folding Chair - AirLon Print

We will use the banana chair on our new roof deck. I ordered the chair with the blue background to match a chaise lounge with a blue slip cover. I love the ease of set up with the chair. I don't like the weight. I have a Lafuma chaise that is also very heavy as expected. I also have two sets of Lafuma chairs from Sierra Trading Post which are light and wonderful for picnics, and campgrounds.

I'm a long time Lafuma chair fan and got excited when I saw these available. Taller in size then my older version, it provides added back support so it's more comfortable but the big trade off is the added size and weight. It still will get lots of use.

This is my second Lafuma chair bought through Sierra trading. This one was a little bigger and a little heavier than I was expecting. So it is not suitable for back packing or outdoor events for which I have to carry this chair to the destination. And I wish it comes with a carrying case. However, once it is set (which takes a second), it is extremely comfortable. High back accomodates even a large person comfortably. It looks sturdy with my husband on, too. I am testing the chair inside at our living room, and it is so comfy that I often sit on it instead of our regular couch. I like its mod pattern which is unique and very different from the ordinal camping chair.

A friend of mine brought one of these chairs into the back country packed on a horse. ?It ws the favorite chair of all for relazing. Might be too long to be packed by all guides but well worth it. He had the aluminum frame which is a lb or so lighter. This chair has the steel frame. Still not too heavy to pack on horses. Defeneitely easy to use chair for base camp sites. I am tall and this chair fits me well.

I bought the Mekko print (in brown, green and white) and really love the cheerful 70's look of the fabric and the chair design. I'm 5' 10" and the chair is quite comfortable for me, however its design is not nearly as comfortable as the LaFuma anti-gravity recliners we bought at STP. Those are INCREDIBLE, but I guess that should be talked about in a different review!
