Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?LOUIS T : I have used them for many years, and they are the most comfortable seats when out hiking, and needing to sit on hard, pointy rocks, or wet logs. They do not bottom out like the cheap stuff you find on amazon.

Great City Seatcover

Comfy city seat cover for spontaneous sitting on damp logs at the beach; wet benches; grass that is possibly going to stain clothing; and city buses.

Quick seat and ultralight

Easy to use and lightweight. Used for trekking and hiking and it performed well. Durability is an issue given the lightweight nature, but it was not designed to be rugged. Whenever I have to take a seat on the trail, I plop this down and it provides a little comfort for my seat

Most Excellent

I bought two of these to replace the one I lost after 10 years of service. Yeah, I got a backup because my usual outdoor store doesn't carry them anymore. They're lightweight, compact, warm, and comfortable. I take mine car-camping and day-hiking mostly, or any time I know I'll be sitting on a cold, hard or wet surface.

Z Seat

Hello. I do like my Z seat. I can put it directly on the snow to have a snack when I have hiked to the Bowen Island lookout. It's good for throwing on a damp park bench (there is always rain in the Pacific Northwest) while stopping to gaze out at the ocean and mountains along Spanish Banks. It is so light yet well-engineered.

Excellent tool for great hiking breaks

Excellent comfort for such a lightweight seat while hiking, for a nice lunch or a tea break without feeling the humidity or coldness of the terrain. Top! One question: Is one side better than the other. You quote 2 R-Values (2,1 or 1,7). Why? Is it because of a better protection of the silver side?

I use this on hunting trips when glassing to keep my pants dry. Nice lightweight option to add a bit more comfort when trying to keep weight to a minimal.
