The Dual Lock chair has a firmer backrest and seat bottom than the competition. And it avoids the slouchy shape of most traditional camping chairs, which can sag to create a hunch-and-slouch posture. Since 2016, our testers (with different body types and physical needs) have subjected camping chairs to multiple camping trips. We chose the Coleman Cooler Quad Chair as the model with the right combination of comfort, durability, usability, and price for most campers.
Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area will host a series of presentations from 10 a.m. Sept. 21 about the history of the Peter Van Winkle sawmill and community that once thrived on property that is now the park. The event is along the one-half mile Historic Van Winkle Trail.
Setup of the Helinox is quite easy and simple since the handles create tension when they are closed. The Chair One has a 600-denier polyester and mesh seat and aluminum legs, which are linked with shock cord (like what you’d find inside high-end tent poles). It’s the lightest, most portable chair that is still comfortable. The Helinox Chair One weighs about 2 pounds, compresses smaller than a 2-liter bottle of soda, and is our most lightweight pick.
Parking is along Arkansas 12 west of the visitor center. Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a field trip at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Charlie Craig State Fish Hatchery in Centerton, operated by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. A variety of shorebirds, waterfowl and songbirds are seen around the hatchery ponds and surrounding pasture.
But here’s the kicker – we didn’t skimp on the good stuff. You’ve still got that high back, a comfy headrest, ozark trail canopy a wider seat, armrests for days, and legs you can adjust to your heart’s content. Plus, when you’re done, it folds up small enough to toss in your trunk without a second thought. Last but not least, we’ve redesigned the footrest that everyone loved on the High-Back Armchair 2.0. We took all the feedback from the last version—like the limited extension, weight support issues, and single-use problems—and gave it a complete makeover.
