The Ultimate Overlanding Chair - Helinox Savanna Chair review and demo

[@ShazBookOwl]

Thanks for sharing.
It was great to see you being a little bit rough with the chairs and not being too bothered about that.
I'm pretty tempted right now... I have the H Chair Zero - but it's just a little bit too short to be honest.
I'd still use it for overnight hiking, but the Savanna might be my go to chair for all other camping.
Cheers

Thanks for watching shaz. We have now had the chairs a further 6 months and still think they are the best thing we own. Even using them everyday we have had no damage yet and they are super comfy. The chair zero look like a great piece of kit for overnight.

Thank you for the review. I am after a compact lightweight chair that I can laze about in. The regular Helinox's don't cut it for me with comfort but these seem to hit the spot. Since I a bikie that tows a trailer I believe the weight and packdown size would be perfect. Thanks again for an excellent review. Sold for me :)

Hey guys,
Great review! Always good to watch a good down to earth summary of your experience with something.
Got a question for you though. How are the drink holders? Do you find that they can be flimsy with a full drink?
Also from what I could see, you tend to lounge back into the chair due to its design, not sit up like you are at a table. Is that the case?
I'm in the market for some new chairs so I am interested to hear your thoughts.
Cheers, keep up the great content!

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video the cup holders are fine for a beer but to be honest we don't use them much as a beer with a stubbie cooler doesn't fit in there very well and our bottles are a bit big aswell. We sit up in the chairs to eat at the table lots and they are still very comfy and found you can do either sit straight or lounge in them. They are a amazing chair and have been honestly surprised they have had no issues definetly you get what you pay for.

You mentioned the seat height being good for dining, but next to your actual dining table, it looks like you'd be sitting at a really low position. What's your take on that?

[@simonwatson5941]

How comfortable are they on the back of the legs? Do they cut in like a lot of camp chairs?

[@a.j.overlanding6995]

Thanks for watching Simon. They are very comfortable haven't noticed any digging in on the back of the legs and they are our everyday chair whilst on the road.

Thanks for watching Paul they really are a great chair.

[@ggmann495]

Great summary. How tall are you vs height of back rest?

[@a.j.overlanding6995]

We are about 5 foot 9 and 5 foot 7. And sit central in the headrest.

hi, what detachable chair frame/rod design like this that you think have taller backrest & wider seat size than Helinox Savanna? thanks 🙏

[@LeeJolley]

Great review, thank you. What’s that table you’ve got there you used to roll it up on? Looks better than my current one

[@a.j.overlanding6995]

Thanks Lee the table is just a Spinifex table from bcf or anaconda. And has somehow survived the whole trip do highly recommend them.

Does it cut into the back of your legs?

[@denisesarazin6753]

Great review. I only wish that there was a strap to carry it over the shoulder vs having to hold it.

[@a.j.overlanding6995]

Thanks for watching Denise. Yes a strap would be a great addition to the chair bag.

[@SpectrumGeeks]

How are these chairs for sitting at the table also?

[@a.j.overlanding6995]

We use the chairs to sit at our standard camping table and they are a good height. We purchased these over the sunset chair due to the extra height of the savana hope that helps.
