Ozark Trail XXL Director Chair Review & Buying Guide 2023
Updated On : Jul 25, 2024
The Ozark Trail XXL Director chair is a good, if somewhat basic director’s style camp chair, offered by a company with a solid reputation in the market. While it does have a few shortcomings, these are generally easy to fix and easy to overlook. Owing to its extra-wide seat, the first thing you’ll notice about this oversized director’s chair is that it looks rugged and robust.
The GCI Outdoor chair also has a pocket built into the back that can hold a phone or a book. This chair comes in green or blue and is rated to hold up to 250 pounds. The Renetto chair usually comes in between 8 and 10 colors and is rated to hold up to 350 pounds. If you plan on backpacking or hiking to your campsite, the REI Co-op Flexlite Air Chair weighs only one pound, making it the lightest option on this list by far.
No one was surprised to see this chair pass our durability test with flying colors. If you're willing to try something a bit unique, a heavy-duty steel frame and sturdy fabric means your investment in this chair should pay off for a lifetime of outdoor relaxation. However, since many campers prefer chairs at a traditional height, the Kelty Lowdown narrowly missed winning our Best Overall pick. If you are looking to rock your way to relaxation, the Ozark Trail Arm Rest Rocking Camp Chair in red and black is just for you. Perfect for trips to the campsite or tailgating the big game, this comfortable chair's compact folding frame will not take up much space, so transportation and storage is a breeze. Thanks to this chair's relaxing rocking design, you will rock your way to comfort while enjoying the outdoors.
All this at a good price, making it an incredible value for a comfy camp chair that's built to last through countless seasons. The Kelty's polyester seat cover manages to meld a cloud-like cushion with a supportive feel that's kind to your back after a long day of roughing it. Adjustable armrests are equipped with insulated cup holders that can be expanded to fit massive water bottles and oversized mugs.
It's one of the lightest chairs available on the market today, competing only with the Helinox Chair Zero which weighs 1.1 pounds. Considering you’ll spend most of the festival outside in the sun, a good SPF is essential. Our favourite hails from La Roche-Posay, with its anthelios oil sunscreen praised for ticking every box. Including UVA, UVB and long UVA protection, it’s suitable for sensitive skin, and it has a non-greasy and lightweight formula. “Reducing shine, we found you’ll still get a fresh-faced glow minus any sticky or oily sensation, and it keeps you safe from the sun,” our tester added. Dubbed the best budget buy in our round-up of camping mats, this NHOWIN offering is self-inflating, comfortable and lightweight.
