If you order one of these, it will arrive ready to go right out of the box. Just unpack, unfold, and sit down—that’s all there is to it. It would be overselling it to call this a handsome chair.
Even under moderate pedal loads, the system shifts fairly quickly and smoothly. The biggest things it’s missing compared to far more expensive versions are a clutch in the derailleur to control chain slap and a narrow/wide chainring tooth profile to keep the chain on. Regarding extras, the Ozark Trail XXL Director camping chair has a fold-out side table attached to one of the chair arms. The table is big enough to hold a small plate, which makes camp dining convenient, and a few miscellaneous supplies if and as needed. However, it is marginally above average in terms of comfort compared to other camp chairs. A functional cupholder, a convenient carry strap, and durable fabric distinguish this kids’ chair from similar seats.
Ozark Trail Outdoor Equipment is fairly new on the UK market and is mostly sold in Asda, the UK version of Walmart. For a supermarket brand, the Ozark Trail Outdoor Equipment series offers great value with good quality products and a large range of camping essentials available from tents to sleeping bags. We also didn’t care for the loud chain slap on the chainstay. Since there isn’t a clutch in the derailleur’s spring to control chain slack, padding is sorely needed on the chainstay. A few dollars spent on self-fusing tape silences things nicely. And then there’s the build and tune quality, but this is just part of the deal when buying bikes like this.
And it avoids the slouchy shape of most traditional camping chairs, which can sag to create a hunch-and-slouch posture. Each comes with a convenient carrying bag that ozark trail backpack you can sling over your shoulder. Made from an easy-to-clean polyester fabric and metal frame. During a camping trip, I sat in a friend’s REI Flexlite Camp Boss, which is a larger version of REI’s Flexlite line of chairs that we mention in the competition.
In 2013 Missouri was named Best Trails State at the International Trails Symposium, due in part to the increasing popularity of the Ozark Trail. It was a cooperative effort of seven governmental agencies, one private landowner, and several environmental groups banded together in what later became the Ozark Trail Council. Under this cooperative relationship, the Ozark Trail Council oversaw the construction of some 170+ miles of trail in just under a decade. Along with previously existing trails, the Ozark Trail system contained more than 200 miles of trail by 1991. The real fly in the ointment for most test riders lies in the rear brake’s feel and performance.
It was surprisingly comfortable and more stable than the Flexlite and Flexlite Air that we tested. We look forward to having a testing panel compare it to our top lightweight pick. This chair’s sturdy frame and higher seat height made that precarious dance just a little bit easier. It’s heavier than its competitors and not as easy to fold, but it has a carrying strap attached to the frame (something its competitors didn’t have). This chair’s weight capacity is 250 pounds—less than that of the ALPS Mountaineering Rendezvous low chair.
Interestingly, the frame’s stays are robust looking right up until they connect to the comparatively spindly looking dropouts, which also bow in a touch. It would not surprise us one bit if there is a Boost thru-axle version of this frame out in the world somewhere. Surprisingly, it has internal cable routing, as well as ports for a stealth-routed dropper seatpost. The rest of the frame is standard-issue spec with a tapered head tube, threaded bottom bracket, and water-bottle bosses located on the seat tube and downtube.
Sure, it’s a bit on the soft side, but it strikes a nice balance between plushness and support for less experienced behinds. The gear ratios felt well suited to climbing thanks in part to the 30-tooth chainring that made steeper sections on the heavier-than-average hardtail doable. This airbed is the perfect size for little travelers – it can support up to 110lbs. The armrests are designed to keep kids secure and comfortable on the sleep surface and the velvet flocking also helps kids from slipping and sliding through the night. An interlocking quick release valve on the airbed allows for a quick set up in minutes when ready to use and fast deflation when it’s time to store it away.
