 Welcome to Road Gear Reviews. I'm Mark from RVLove and today we're going to be talking about the Strongback Elite Chair. Stay tuned. Welcome back to Road Gear Reviews. Today we're talking about the Strongback Elite Chair. Setting up the chair, of course, is easy. Similar to other folding chairs. And it folds out really nice and easy. So right now a lot of you might be thinking what's the big difference between this chair and other camping folding chairs? And the difference is posture support. Most camping chairs are basically just a frame with a fabric sack. And so they're not very supportive at all. You just kind of droop in and it's not giving you a long-term comfort or support. The Strongback Chair, on the other hand, has a frame-integrated lumbar support and a cushy section here where your body meets the chair. The back of the chair is taller than most camp chairs, giving you support all the way up and the bottom of the chair is angled backwards, which then allows your body to sink down into the chair and press up against the back. The chair is about 29 inches wide, 27 inches deep, and 37 inches tall weighs about 12 pounds. This chair is the Elite Chair and it has frames for the arm support. There's little pads on top of the frame, but the biggest advantage of those frames in the arms is that it makes it really easy to use it to brace yourself to get out of the chair. The chair is a black powder coated frame and has 600D tear and wear resistant fabric, and it's rated to support 300 pounds. Let me turn the chair to the side, as that might help you better understand what it looks like when someone's sitting in the chair. So as you can see, when I sit in the chair, I lean back up against this chair. It's all the way supported up to the top of my shoulders. My neck feels supported. It's really comfortable. Whereas a no more camp chair, more like a sack, and so it doesn't give your body the support it needs, and you end up curving your back and slouching down and over the course of a couple of hours that becomes really uncomfortable. This being the strong back Elite Chair has the frame integrated into the arm support, makes it really easy to get up and out of it. It comes with a cup holder on the side. If I had a knock on the product, it'd probably be that. It's kind of a flimsy cup holder, especially for a chair of this price range. We have an optional cup holder that you can pick up that has an additional space for a cup holder and a little pocket for a phone or some keys, something like that. The chair comes in its carry bag. It's about 44 inches long, about 11 inches wide and 6 inches deep. It has two carry handles and a comfortable grip if you're going to carry it by hand. But the straps are actually long enough that you can wear the chair as a backpack, which then keeps your hands free. Strong back makes two other chairs. One's called the core. One's called the low gravity. The core chair is virtually the same chair slightly more compact and it has fabric arms with a cup holder on each side. The low gravity chair, as the name might imply, sits much lower to the ground, only about four inches off the ground, but otherwise it's a fairly similar chair. All the chairs come in black, navy blue, camouflage and lime green. That's enough about the features. Let me tell you about what I personally think of the product. I actually love these chairs. I first sat in one about a year ago. I had a friend's campsite and was really impressed with it. I kind of forgot about it for a while and then every once in a while I'll come into back of my mind, but I forget to order it. And then I sat in another friend's strong back chair and decided that's it. I'm buying one of these this week. I absolutely love it. I have a back condition. I have frequent back pain and so when I find a chair that is so supportive and so comfortable, absolutely night and day from other camp chairs, it gets me really excited. Now, if you don't have any back pain, I would still really recommend this chair because the best way to keep a healthy back is to support it. No better investment than in your health. Speaking of investment, some people might look at these chairs on the more expensive side. It's about $100 for this chair. The other two chairs I mentioned are about $60, but to me that $100 is so well worth it. It's an investment in my health long term. I enjoy this chair at my campsite. If we're going to go to a happy hour at a friend's house, I'm always taking my chair with me. Recently went to a three-day weekend seminar and I took my chair with me because I knew that the chairs there were going to be the regular conference room chairs. It turns out they were actually metal folding chairs and all weekend long I watched people squirm and discomfort in those chairs and all weekend long I was super happy in mind. The only other caution I would have for anybody with this chair is when you let someone else sit in it, make sure you call dibs on it and make it very clear rules. They're welcome to sit in it for a few minutes to get a feel for it, but that it's your chair for the rest of the evening because people will try and hijack your chair. It really is that night and day different. Every single person I've ever offered to sit in this chair has been super excited about it. So that's why I thought it'd be a great product to review here is because it's something I'm very passionate about and every time I've shared it with someone else they're really excited about it as well.
