Glassing chair

[NJ_CLAD]

Any advice on a chair to use while glassing endless hours?

For rifle hunts, I tend to use these portable stools. For archery hunts where staying lightweight is important, I use a ThermaRest Z Seat.

Helinox Chair Zero is awesome. There are Amazon knock offs that are pretty nice also.
I’ve never used a stool but the Hillsound BTR is highly recommended by a lot of people.

Oh, dang. I forgot about the Chair Zero. I have it, but it usually stays in my tent. lol

Very comfortable for such a lightweight thing

I pack a Crazy Creek Chair in my pack . It works great and its lightweight and rolls up fairly small.

If your talking about for packing in somewhere, and are worried about weight, then the Hillsound BTR Stool. I have the 17”, and it works great! Collapses pretty tight, and it’s super light.

Not sure what this one is. Its small, light weight, easy to pack and comfortable.

+1 for the helinox chair zero. mine looks identical to the chair in the picture above except for being blue. Don't forget to bring a dark towel to put over your head and block out all the light while glassing.

Haven’t used a chair for glassing yet as I am new to this style of hunting. That being said I have used the Helinox zero on backpacking trips where weight was a consideration, the comfort to weight ratio is well worth every ounce. (1lb) that chair is at the very top of my gear list.

Low slung beach chair with my Swarovski 15x56. Good on your back and stretch out your legs.

Normally I just sit on the ground on my pad. if it is cold and wet or muddy, I like to be up off the ground.

The wife has a bad back, so on our last trip to the PGA golf tournament I bought her one of these portable stools from GCI. She loved it, and I found it so comfortable that I stole it and use for hunting and glassing.

I’m 62, gotta have back support to glass all day. Short period of time a lightweight 3 leg stool or glassing pad.

That’s a “me too” the Helinox Zero” has been a game changer allow me to backpack. No way could I tolerate a sit pad or 3 legged stool.

This is my favorite, if I don’t have to carry it too far.

You guys are good salesmen! Now I've got to have something like this. My old back will appreciate it a ton.
Thanks
