Andy G Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Good evening all. Looking for some recommendations for a chair with certain criteria. As I’m getting older I’m finding harder to get out of a low chair so I need one with adjustable legs, the longer the better. As light as possible due to having to carry it. NO arms and lastly a recliner is unnecessary. Never adjusted any chair I’ve had. Thanks, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I use one of these, quite light, can be used as a bedchair buddy and is comfortable, works for me https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/trakker-levelite-transformer-chair?gclid=CjwKCAiAlfqOBhAeEiwAYi43FxOLBVJisxC8UC8fgpbTD9ASQ2VDO9LonP5toaSubj51DVv8s0B5yhoC2TUQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like you, struggle to get up out of a low chair. These start at a good height and can be raised a lot more. Had mine years and wouldn't want anything else.

Have you looked at the JRC range? https://www.anglingactive.co.uk/jrc-defender-chair.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've been looking at the wychwood tactical x high chair, it's a bit of a monster, weighs in at 7.5kg, recliner with arms etc. But it looks high off the ground. Has anyone used or seen one in person? I'm after something high off the deck. I've got a low chair at the moment and it's getting uncomfortable on the knees 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpepecheur Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) For the last 10 years or so, I have been using a Lafuma reclining chair. It is not meant for carp fishing and weighs in at a hefty 7.2 kg BUT you can sit in a completely relaxed, reclined position, then when you get a bite, push your legs out and you swing forward (almost propelled into a standing position) and take care of business. This is their web site. There are a lot of bargains if you shop around on the net. https://www.lafuma-furniture.co.uk/relaxation-chair-rsxa-clip-batyline-lac-tubing-basalte-uk.html Fortunately, there is no camouflage version Edited January 19, 2022 by carpepecheur welder and jh92 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's comfortable and at a sensible height that is easy to get level on sloping ground. Carpfeed did do a review on them, might be worth a Google.

I'm using the SKTek Armchair -(when on my own) and the SKTek Recliner Armchair (when the lad comes).... Both are quite padded and comfy. salokcinnodrog and jh92 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit on the heavy side but not really an issue when using the barrow 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping my spending was over but thinking about it now , having read this thread , my JRC defender chair nearly crippled me last time out and sitting on my bedchair was even worse . Ian , if you see this same question re the Daddy long legs . It’s very expensive but it would be worth it if it did the trick . I really need to be sitting upright in both cases fellas .

My sciatica is not so bad after sitting in mine, although I do have a slight gripe that is down to the extending legs. If you lean forward, putting weight on the extended front legs, they slide back in. I haven't noticed it on the back legs as every swim has so far been sloping down forwards or flat. When it is flat, it is a very comfortable chair that I have fallen asleep in a few times. I can sit and watch the water or read in no problems. It is fact more comfortable than the sofa... newmarket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
