    Front Runner makes some brilliant stuff. Saving space is so important!

      Absolutely. Just by getting these two chairs I saved so much space.

    You ask her opinion about the comfort of the chairs and take over in about 5 seconds. It would be nice to have heard what she thought.

      I got the vibe of she didn't give a shit either way about it, that it's just a chair lol. I can read people fairly well and I almost felt like he felt uncomfortable at that moment of alot of silence from her. She didn't give off any vibe other than not interested

    Thanks for your point of view about this product, its one of the things I really wanted to upgrade in my set up too, after the mungo trip we decided to go little light weight and small chairs, I have a pair of AlDI chairs, they are massive / comfortable but takes so much space.
    So need something small but shouldn’t be drawbacks outweigh the benefits. I had no Idea those products were available. Definitely should check them out before pull the trigger !!
    Thanks for the informative and comprehensive review of the product!!

      The draw card for me the ease of stowing it. Takes up so little space. Pretty comfy too. Best would be to get from Amazon. Since they have local stock very little lead time for delivery. Use the link in the description.

    I’m In a dilemma with chairs as they fit on the opposite side of my 80 and I have 6 of those older style chair. They do the job but take up so much real estate I. The wagon.

    • @4xTouring
      @4xTouring  3 года назад

      Exactly the same problem I had and that was with only two chairs :)
      The expander chair is not perfect. But works well for us. Considering it so easy to tow away.

    The chairs look great, but the side by side highlights the FR armrests are a solid pipe versus the fabric on the older discarded chair. She looked like she wanted to use the armrests but thy don’t seem comfortable. Would have to try it out I guess.

    Thank you for your review. In Australia does "swag" mean clothes? In the US it's come to mean free promotional items given away at events.

    • @4xTouring
      @4xTouring  3 года назад +1

      Hi mate. A swag is a traditional Australian canvas bed roll with a mattress inside. You could say it is a large sleeping bag with a built-in mattress. This was originally used by cattle drovers for sleeping out in the open. It has some what changed over the years for leisure use. Here is a video on my swag.

    Great chair...I ordered 2. The problem is that when they ship to Canada, there is an extra $94 in taxes and duties that are not disclosed at time of purchase. It comes as an invoice form the carrier after you receive them. Again...great chair, but not for that price for Canadians.

      @@philbensley297 How has that been working out for you? I've some complain the yellow catch button doesn't hold. I'm torn between the ARB, the FR and the GCI pico. The ARB is unquestionably my favorite but it is alot more volume packed (3520/688/469 in2 respectively). Regardless, I'm still thinking about at least one for me for solo trips, trips with my kids and other uses.

    I was looking at chairs from Helinox, they were nice and super lightweight but just can't justify the $200 price on them.

      @4xTouring  3 года назад +2

      Hi mate. Very happy with them. Just got back from a ten day trip. The chairs were easy to stow away, took up very little space and pretty comfy too. Keep in mind, due to the nature of its design, it is not the type of camping chair you can slouch on. You sit a bit upright. But this does not bother us.
      The cup holders work great for beers, bottles of water, but does not quite work for cups or mugs of coffee.
      If you buy through Amazon the delivery time is a lot quicker as they have local stock.

      I did not buy the bag. Dont think i will. I have removed the back seat in the 80. So the two chairs get stowed on the floor under the carpet.

      They certainly are comfy. The footprint was the draw card for me. Having these chairs freed up so much space in my 80.

    You've sold me on the chairs, however Opposite Lock today advised me they are no longer able to supply the product, it is now only available on line direct through Front Runner (or Amazon?) (They did highly rate their products though!) Its something that's only happened recently, as they are still clearing out their other front runner stock.

      We are very happy with the chairs. Very strong. It does have its cons. But considering the ease of packing (very small foot print compared to others) it was worth the purchase for us.
