Fidgeting is healthy. Even with “good posture,” sitting in the same position all day basically causes repetitive stress injury.
As always, great video! I did a showroom tour and our entire group rolled around the showroom for a half hour. Super fun and unique chair, very versatile. To me, this chair is the perfect multi-purpose, can sit anywhere and perform any task kind of chair. Painting, computer games, art work, arts and crafts, watch shows, doctor's office, you name it, this is the can-do chair.
Special thanks to Mark at 9to5 for getting you this chair and giving us all an educational lesson on European style and design.
Thanks Ahnestly for the great review and honest, unbiased information on product. It's great to see 3rd party influencers and reviews give us real world input and reviews.
Thanks for the review. Nice work sir. It’s one of our most popular chairs.
review of this is really good. I really appreciate that you discuss the height of people for whom this is best for. kudos!
I saw the foots rest and it had this chair , so here I am lol.
LOL sorry i saw your comment and was gonna respond! Thanks for looking through my videos!!
My dad has one of these, and i think the title of the video nails it pretty well. It's a great chair for STANDING DESKS and generally being able to move around, and is probably the healthiest chair to sit in because it forces you to change position... Which sucks if you do any digital work like art or anything where your seating doesn't really change that often.
The chair is aimed towards active office spaces, rather than chilling at home. So if you're a gamer or whatever, I wouldn't recommend this chair.
They have a mostly plastic one with a tiny cushion and I am tempted to get it, I can sit on a jagged rock and be comfortable so the dropping the price by two hundred dollars and getting the fidgeting ability I need would be great.
I'm glad I summed it up accurately!! And yeah, for sure, def not a sit-and-never-get-up all day kind of chair
I have this chair aswell, and I can agree.
The thing with this chair is:
You, and your body, have to get used to it.
Ergonomic chairs, most of the time, are designed to support your back, therefore releasing pressure on your muscles and spine by adding lumbar support.
But that also means, that your muscles aren't working, while you sit in a correct posture. They don't have to, because the chair does all the work.
And this is where the HAG is different.
It's design forces your back muscles to be active, by sitting up straight, moving around frequently and not fully supporting them all the way through.
The Capisco forces you to sit up straight by yourself and not by just falling into the correct posture.
To me, that is the magic about this chair: Your back will build up the required muscles and will enable you to sit up straight for longer times, even without a backrest.
The HAG Capisco doesn't support your back, it enables it to support itself.
A friend of mine has this chair for over 12 years now, and I've never met somebody, that has stronger back muscles than him (and he doesn't even do sports, at all).
That was also the reason, why I got myself a Capsico too. It also comes with a great headrest, that I can only recommend.
That all said, I still got myself a Herman Miller Embody aswell, because I too, am too lazy to constantly work on my back muscles.
I use the HAG at work now, sitting in it for about 8 hours a day, moving around frequently and I can still focus on my work pretty well (am a software developer).
And when I get home, I just fall back into my Embody and forget about even sitting in a chair.
I can only recommend this chair, if you are willing to go through some weeks of getting used to it. This chair isn't perfectly comfortable from the start, and it never really will be for people, who just wanna sit for 8 hours straight. It is really different from sitting in a normal chair.
@@Ahnestly So are you still using this one? I can imagine it also gets annoying whenever you swap it out for the main one. I'm currently thinking about replacing my barstool-like LIDKULLEN with a capisco, for use with the adjustable desk.
I'm a full time artist and have this chair, and I'd say this is actually a positive point. It supports all different drawing positions to change it up and lessen body aches during long drawing hours :)
I just recently acquired one of these in the black leather. The leather feels wonderfully soft while the cushion remains firm and comfy. And I fully take advantage of the fidget experience. Love this chair!
Yeah I was shocked by how much I liked this chair!!
I’ve been waiting for your review on this chair. I like how real you are (even with all the moose knuckle). No one else talks about being fidgety or spinning around. These things matter.
Thanks!! LOL yeah...need to find some different pants...
@@Ahnestly I ordered the chair! Your review gave me the push. I wish I could have used your affiliate link but I wanted the customization and return policy from Fully. Maybe you could strike a deal with them. You have the best review of this chair on RUclips.
I've seen your videos in my recommendations and watched a few of them. Well explained videos and I wonder why I'm not subscribed yet.
I'm not technically in the market for a new chair at the moment, although I had the initial thought of being fascinated/curious by this type of chairs. I currently have a cheap gaming chair, but I tend to fidget a lot as well and my partner interrupts quite often, which requires to make me move off and on of my chair. As a short person, I'm glad you included measurements as well. Seems like this chair would be worth the upgrade!
Side Note: For "The Best Intro" - just made my day better. I must admit, I've done this multiple times on mine, but it's awesome how you were able to capture it in the most cinematic, yet hilarious way! Love it bro
LOLOL the original cut was longer, but I was like ugh i can't see myself like this anymore! I appreciate the kind words and hope you get to check this chair out when you're looking to upgrade!!
Such a masterpiece of a chair. Genius design. I have two other HÅG chairs: a H04 and a Futu 1020, which are more office/task chairs for longer sitting periods. But I will treat myself to Capisco at some point!
Fidget chair seems like the perfect way to describe it! I'd love to try one, though I fear I'd never have a chance to relax with all the ways I'd be finding to sit on it weirdly!
Lolll yeah that's been an issue for me. When I just try to sit and video edit, I feel like I can't get into the groove bc I'm moving a lot
Funny enough I just bought this chair (HAG Capisco) after being indecisive on a more traditional office chair, even after seeing all through your channel and the Blind Guys testing of all the office chairs (absolutely hilarious btw). The chair really does benefit though with the additional foot rest accessories ($90). Gives you yet another additional way to pivot your posture, which is really the reason you get this chair; to let your body do what it wants, so you can concentrate your brain on your desk task. As they say 'the best posture, is your next posture'.
Nicee!! It's really really awesome. I was shocked by how good it was!!
@@Ahnestly I'm really glad I went with the fabric option too. It doesn't seem like it's going to prematurely wear out faster than anything else on the chair. Time will tell.
Are you keeping yours for a longer term use? It would be interesting to hear your perspective on how well you think the chair does benefit from a longer trial run (say a week or two of use) and to hear you would compare it with the class of chairs in that range (Embody / Aeron /Gesture ).
Thanks for all your help navigating this path!
"I have to sit in it." ... chair dudes know the feel
Thanks for the review ! I have bought an used one and the back support is a little loose, the arm rest wiggle and moves a bit in every direction. Is it the same for you ?
I really like my HÅG chair because I’m smaller and most ergo chair armrests are too far away from my arms/elbows, even if I adjust them. The backrest on this chair allows me to rest my elbows on it, which helps my posture (opens the chest, as opposed to shoulders slumping forward). I like the firm cushion and that I can put my feet on the little rest areas on the chair legs. But it’s not a chair for everybody - my husband greatly prefers his Herman Miller ergo chair.
Great insight! I like it because I can spin all day (although, I can tell I’m getting old, feel like I need to throw up after 2 laps)
Great video, you advertised this chair really well. Fantastic review! Joe Rogan seems to use this chair as well.
Crap. I disliked your comment. DID NOT MEAN TO DO THAT!! I had no idea Joe Rogan used it. Thanks for putting me on that! I appreciate the kind words!!
Great video as always! Informative and entertaining. These are the same chairs @TheSmokingTirePodcast uses. I knew it was just a matter of time until you got your hands on one.
Thanks for letting me know! Didn't know these were so common!!
If you want to try out other European chairs I would recommend trying to get your hands on a Kinnarps from the 8000 series or the bit cheaper Capella. Fully kitted out it is an amazing chair. I spend several agonizing weeks trying to decide on the embody or the Kinnarps. I ultimately picked the Embody because I just preferred the looks and feel of the seat. The Kinnarps however had so much adjustability and the headrest is pretty good. Great video as always keep it up!
A very underrated brand.
I like the format you use for the video. You answer exactly the questions i have about this chair.
Nice!! I’m glad I was able to help!
This intro was amazing.
Hahahaha thank you!!!
First I subscribed because of that intro 10/10 would recommend! Thanks for this I am one of those fidgeting, ADHD sitters (I hit crossed legged which does not work well with most chairs). For my sit stand desk I have been looking for a chair that would work great with the desk, my sitting habits and when I’m gaming for a few longer hours than I need to. It seems a bit pricey but I’m hoping this will be a chair that I will have for a VERY long time.
Did you get the HAG, if yes how has it been since?
bought one after watching every youtube video there is about it. 950€ and worth it.
I have been wanting this chair forever. I'm going to buy it now. As far as saddles are concerned I like the space your legs have. If you watch re-runs of Star Trek Voyager, these were the chairs on the bridge of Voyager.
That’s right! And now joe rogan uses it!! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link! Helps the channel a lot!!!
Hi, what colour/fabric has the chair you tested?
Haha I did the same thing at our appointment. I sat in it when they left the room 😂
!!! you are the first person to acknowledge that I'm not crazy for being incredibly curious about the chair...LOL. You are braver than me though!
I'm debating about getting this chair or the steelcase gesture. I do have a standing desk but sometimes I do want the option to sit for a few hours to get stuff done. You have tested both - what do you think?
2 totally different chairs. Gesture was built to be an all day chair whereas this was really meant to get you to get up and move around/wiggle around!!
Nice sweater. Where did you get it?
Hey @Ahnestly, if the Capisco is still serving you, do you have any long term reviews and whether it held up over time (esp the cushions)?
Hey! Bc I’m constantly reviewing chairs, I don’t always get to do long term testing with a chair, unless it’s a chair I absolutely love and use regularly outside of these reviews.
I can say this though - the HAG is such a cool utility chair. You see it time to time in my reviews, bc I love how small, light, and compact it is that I can just roll it over and plop down for my reviews. I use it when I’m building chairs as well (again, just rolling it over and sitting down is so easy and it’s open, so doesn’t get in the way of anything. My recording sessions can take up to 2-3 hours, and I’ll be sitting in the chair for the most part and it feels great. Chair has held up great, but again, I’m not subjecting it to use and abuse daily, so take this with a grain of salt.
I will def revisit this chair someday…
You mention in the video this is a medium size. Does that mean that is the 200mm cylinder vs the standard 265?
Also, how tall are you and what height is your desk from the ground?
I have a chronic pain illness qnd this is such a great chair i wish it had some sort of attachment for neck support... I also don't know if it is suitable for me or not in this context. I do tend to move around a lot when i am working and need something that reminds me to move and take breaks but at the same time also need something that is comfortable enough while I am actually sitting and working in it..
A+ for the grammy award winning singing efforts ;)
Hi Ahn, thanks for the video! What fabric do you have?
I have no idea haha they sent me a configuration but I’m not sure what it is. It’s a fabric not leather
@@Ahnestly Can you share the sticker info that is under the seat? Maybe that contains the fabric info
Hi Hahn, love your reviewsssss, I would love to see a video where you review the Mirra 1 vs the Mirra 2
Not sure where you got Hahn from...lol. It's Ahn :-) thanks for the kind words! I probably won't review those anytime soon, but I did make a buying guide so you can see the differences between the 2 chairs! ruclips.net/video/HuGwz1kuC6Q/видео.html
@@Ahnestly thanks Ahn, definitely will check it out, btw what will be the next chair you will review... the sayl chair ???
can you do a review of a Haworth Fern or any Haworth chairs in general.
Awesome intro.
THANK YOU!!!!
I definitely can't sit still. I'm either crossing my leg over, sitting with both legs up, one leg up, etc. i need to try this chair! Haha
It's a great fidget chair!!
Hey bro, you're an expert, I need some advice, I want to try out the Hag Capisco chair, before considering dropping $1,000 on it, but I can't find a retailer that carries it. I live in Connecticut, but am willing to drive to a bordering state if necessary, do you know of any places that carry it? thanks.
The Capisco Chair can have a headrest added to it. Would be worth looking to see if that's a worthwhile addition.
Really??????? The thought of that freaks me out…hahaha like imagine 12am and there’s this creepy human outline in your office
@@Ahnestly ruclips.net/video/JfjOYUcfJBQ/видео.html (timestamp of headrest) yeah one of the Canadian distributors has an English translation of the video user guide demonstrating the headrest.
A foot ring or a step up foot rest are also available.
I've noticed that the back of your chair doesn't seem wobble at all, when mine does. Could you confirm yours doesn't? On top of that, mine makes a kind of creaking sound when leaning on one side. :(
I don't believe mine does either of those - very slight wobble and no squeak. I had to assemble mine, so it may have to do with the fact tht your back isn't screwed in all the way (turn your chair upside down and you'll see 2-3 screws that hold the backrest to the bottom seat!)
yes, it’s so annoying for the wobbliness, I wanna know how to fix it.
Capisco's main position is actually what you though is "backwards". The backrest turns into armrests in this scenario and you lean forward slightly.
I’ve had one for many years. Despite its length of time on the market they seem to refuse innovation of its design. It really needs a forward tilt (or better a full rocking mechanism) and a smaller bump on the front to make its “saddle mode” more comfortable.
You seem to like posting this on every review of this chair xD
@@M00n.P00p. Yup, I'm hoping to knock the cobwebs out of the manufacturers paradigm. I wouldn't bother if I didn't think the product deserves a little love. It's got lots going for it.
The feet are awesome. Still need to switch those out for rollerblade wheels. Game Changer!!!
what lamp is that
I was wondering if they make chairs where you can do the "backwards" sit and I hate that this is so expensive. I did see comments about "it keeps you moving" but I literally move around in my seat SO much anyway. I can't stay still. Would love this if it wasn't so damn pricey
Does the back rest also feel a bit wiggly for you? Especially when it's pulled all the way up?
A tiny bit, but not noticeable when using
is this chair good for tall people? i'm 6'2
We have Håg chairs like this one at my workplace in Sweden, I hate them, I have a Kinnarps 8000 chair that I use when I swap between standing and sitting. Love my HM Aeron at home though.
Fun fact, the five star base design is made to mimic a stirrup.
I would love to have this as like, a second chair. Unfortunately I can't be spending £900 on that when I already have an expencive ass office chair
Can you tell me where you got that rug
Check out my latest office tour video (it was the video JUST before this one!). I go over everything there including my rug!
How is the Capisco for lumbar support?
It's OK IMHO. Joe Rogan loves it, according to one clip he made about it. I find that it's not meant to be an all day sitting chair. It's meant to get you up and about, including changing up positions (It is GREAT for this)
Bro been watching your channel for a while. I'm a 5'4" guy and have to choose between the Capisco and Haworth Zody? I say I tend to sit for hours and got quit the thicc thighs. Thanks!
Hey! If you SIT for hours, I recommend the zody. If you get up every so often to move around, stretch, stay active, then the capisco! Please consider using my links if you decide to purchase!
Ciao, ma vorrei sapere durata della seduta 8 ore o più? anche senza mal di schiena? Grazie!
This chair was meant to get you up, moving around, etc not necessarily sit all day!
hey, what is your footrest, if you dont mind asking
I have a couple different ones. I'm trying to get items in for a footrest review - right now, this is my favorite - amzn.to/3st9LKa
@@Ahnestly actually answered and even timely. Very nice. Ty
There's another chair i don't recall the name of that is like this one. Which is the original?
Hm I thought this was the original and the others are knockoffs?
a chair that encourages you to stand up is along the same logic of the A%@ pounder 4000 from it's always sunny in Philly
LOLL but sitting all day is NOT good for your health!
If your feet are not supported slightly below a 90 degree angle, it’s not ergonomic because your legs are dangling. Shouldn’t it have leg rests ?
which fabric is this...i want this
Unfortunately, I have no idea. I just asked for the chair "that looks like a tiny person" and they just sent me one. Sorry! It's the fabric version though, not the leather! I have an Amazon affiliate link in the description that has a gray fabric version!
@@Ahnestly many thanks for the reply. I saw somewhere that they have like 6 fabric levels. This one is probably just under the leather class
Håg is brand from Norway that focus on motion and balance and your review reflects that. :) The å in Håg (an a with a ring over it) is pronounced like "oo" in the english word poor. Hag (with an a without the ring) means something like "ugly old woman" in english right? Not fair to the chair. :)
Ughhh sorry for the poor pronunciation and thank you for the correction!!
You know where this chair is really featured??? In multiple Star Trek shows and movies!!! Apparently this chair has been around since the 80s. Look up "Capisco Chair Star Trek" and click a few links to get what I mean. You really missed out on a pretty fun reference man.
Oh man!!! I was never a Star Trek fan. Damn!!
@@Ahnestly Yeah. There is a few more of the caster office chair type used in the shows. There is a website out there that documents all of the chairs and furnishings used in Star Treks. I recall the conference chairs in The Next Generation were a type of computer chair.
Where is the desk from?! 😮
I've got a desk setup video here somewhere...
ruclips.net/video/O9ZyyW9WmBU/видео.html
"i can't believe that is going to live on the internet forever"
LOL
For the price it BETTER be your favourite chair haha
Found it forced my legs too far apart. I'm too small a person felt like riding a horse.
I can't believe this chair is costing more than the Embody though
It shouldn't be? Should be around $800!
Seems nice but it just looks to weird for me
Lol it DEF looks weird. Like a person who lost their limbs...
This doesn't seem like the chair you want to sit in for deep focus.
It depends - some people focus better when they're able to move around! I know I was MUCH more alert throughout the day thanks to this chair! Although, not gonna lie, I love sitting too much to be up and about all day
If you can find an office chair that has a wide seat with a high back without armrest, then we'd have the perfect chair for those who like to sit unconventionally.
If you're looking for a more traditional chair, that's a tough one. If you're OK with a slightly gamery aesthetic, I believe you can remove the arms from the the titan evo 2022 gaming chair and it has a really high back. I created a sizing guide on it in case you were interested!
@@Ahnestly Ooh thank you for the recommendation! I've actually been eyeing that one cause of it's tall back.
When the link no longer works properly 😢
Hey! The link worked for me. Are you USA based?
@@Ahnestly nope Australian. Link just takes me to a bunch of chairs but not the one your reviewing.
@Kinstar89 :( yeah I use a service that auto redirects people to their local Amazon domain, but the chairs aren’t always available in every region. Is it available for you on Amazon if you search independently?
Caution: I found Reddit posts that complain about pain from using this chair for year!!!
Sorry but the 1000 euro price.... Are you fking kidding me? That's just ridiculous. This shouldn't cost more then 400-500.
it is so fucking easy to be happy for having a chair you didn't pay
Huh? I get chairs free all the time but I don’t like a good number of them
Wish I could get one for free.
Shame it's stupid overpriced like crazy overpriced, need 50% off before even thinking about buying one.
Yeah make the chair really uncomfortable so you want to stand up sounds pathetic to me.
I'm 59 don't have energy to waste.
Chair you can't sit in for more then an hour sounds perfect 😂
To expensive
the worst chair i ever tried! Good for a 5 min sitting, and awful for any long term job. It is so stiff and so bumpy! Zero back support, it is so bad for sitting straight! But then if you ride all through the office and sit in kamasutra positions for 10 min max, then i guess it is good. Tho too prices, my $200 chair provides more comfort, and more sitting positions, but is just too large to carry around the office.
Nice review on the chair, but you're gonna lose a lot of Chinese or Asian subscribers!
And the ugliest chair award goes to
Also, I want this chair
LOL. It's pretty freaking fantastic!
F$&@ that’s an annoying intro!
