Outwell Tryfan Chair
The Outwell Tryfan Chair presents a blend of comfort and convenience tailor-made for short walks and outdoor adventures. If you want something light and compact for short walks to the beach, riverside, or campsite, you'll appreciate that it can be zipped into the lightweight carry case.
The assembly process, while generally straightforward, did present a mild challenge. The pre-attached elastic cords inside the poles made for a satisfyingly smooth frame-setup. However, the task of stretching the fabric seat across the metal frame required a bit of force, which mean the construction called for some effort.
Made from a lightweight aluminium frame, the Tryfan Chair offers the benefit of portability. Yet, this feature comes at a cost as the chair can occasionally feel a tad unstable due to its lightweight design. This compromise between stability and convenience might deter some users who prioritize a sturdier seating option.
Evaluating the price point, the Tryfan Chair leans toward the higher end of the spectrum. However, it's worth noting that occasional offers and discounts might make this chair a more palatable investment.
In summary, the Outwell Tryfan Chair emerges as an appealing option for those seeking a camping chair suitable for short walks and outings. Its compactness and lightweight structure undeniably cater to individuals prioritizing portability.
While its assembly might require a bit of effort, the chair's innovative design and satisfying frame construction provide a positive overall impression.
Our verdict: A lightweight camping chair that would make a great option for taking along on short walks, but slightly tricky to assemble and a bit on the pricey side.
