Anyone know the make/model of the very light weight, collapsible arm chairs sold at the show? Pretty sure I saw them in one of the hangars. They were built like the ultra light Helinox hiking chairs, but these had a higher back and arms. Thought I'd be able to find them on the internet back home. But not finding them... Thanks in advance!
This might be what you are looking for.

For some reason I cannot open Hanger A floor plan.
Appreciate the reply! But the one I'm curious about had arms, and a $125-130 price tag. Will check the vendor listing.
Let us know what you find out. I need to "shrink" my tonnage hauled to OSH each year.Quote:

If I'd give these a 6 on comfort, but a 9 on compact size and 8 for durability (my chair was put through the wringer by all kinds of people and survived well in our camp this year at Oshkosh).
Interesting. Mine does not have arms. Mine could have used arms. I didn't have anywhere to put my arms.
I bought these. Worked well, and inexpensive:

Basically Chinese copies of other lightweight chairs. I bet they will have a model next year with arms...
I have the first model from Spencer (had it three years now) and find it quiet comfortable and small enough to pack in the turtle deck of my Smith Mini Plane.
Spencer has a model with arm rests called the Wallaby:

We bought a couple of the Joey models at the show.
The ones in the REI link weigh 4 lbs. How much weight saving is that vs a standard aluminum folding chair? Granted it does pack down smaller but after seeing someone with the Helinox chairs we stopped at Cabelas and picked two up. No they don't have arms but they are small enough and light enough to fit in a smaller camelback backpack. For the limited use I'm fine with no arms on them. I like the lightness and the size. I'll save the larger chairs for at home and camping.
