It may still only be March, but camping season will be here before you know it. For those who love nothing more than a roaring campfire and a night under the stars, it’s never too early to start planning your next outdoor adventure.
In case your camping gear needs upgrading, now is the time to start investing in new parts before the rush of buyers leads to a shortage. Take the GCI Outdoor Camping Chair, which is currently Amazon Canada’s best-selling style of camping chair and has recently made its way to the site’s Movers & Shakers trending product list.
From $87 on Amazon
The details
Crafted from heavy-duty powder-coated steel, this foldable chair frame supports up to 250 pounds and includes a built-in drink holder and phone pocket. It’s designed to fold up when not in use and comes with a handy carrying strap that can be slung over your shoulder while in transit.
Spring rocker technology and a lower than standard chair height also lend an extra dose of relaxation to any outdoor occasion. Whether you bring this chair for camping, picnics, outdoor sporting events, or the patio, it always rises to the occasion.
what people say
In addition to being Amazon’s best-selling patio rocking chair, the GCI Outdoor Camping Chair has earned an impressive 4.7-star rating based on hundreds of customer reviews. Since it starts at $87, buyers have also said it’s a “great chair for the price.”
Reviewers called it “amazing” and “perfect” for outdoor activities. With its built-in strap, buyers say this chair is “so easy to transport” to and from campsites, as well as to Little League games where parents can sit comfortably on the sidelines.
One reviewer called it “the perfect camp chair” and shared that the rocking motion is great for “chilling around the fire.”
“So great that I bought three!” said one reviewer, while another added that “everyone who tries this loves it”.
Buyers have said that while this rocking patio chair is comfortable, it sits “slightly lower than most camping chairs.” If you prefer to sit higher off the ground, this may not be the best choice for you.
It also weighs around 10 pounds, so depending on your physical condition and mobility, you might want to opt for a lighter camping chair.
The verdict
If seat height and heavier weight aren’t issues that would deter you from enjoying the GCI Outdoor Camping Chair, you might just want to stock up on a few. Shoppers noted that it was quickly becoming the most coveted seat in the group and even bought several to ensure there was always one available.
It can be found in indigo, green, gray or red, and is an easy way to up your camping game this season.
