I really enjoyed your review. It was straightforward, in depth enough, and I trusted your opinion. Also I appreciate the cinematography. It was well worth their investment to send you the chair.
Seems like at this price point, they would include a good basic "stuffsack"carry bag. I see they make a number of them and do included them in some bundle deals, however I still feel a simple smooth compact pouch should be included with a $90 chair.
Hey Rivka! Yea I don’t disagree. The only thing I’d say though is that since the chair is so small, I tend to throw it in my backpack anyway, vs the larger chairs you carry over your shoulder with the pouch. I thought it would be a bigger deal when I first got it, but honestly I never even think about it anymore.
We are fulltime RVers and travel all over the country and ALWAYS have a chair in the truck or car for when we find ourselves by the river or some ones campsite. We will need to give these a look.
That’s awesome! My cousin is doing a multi-month RV trip cross-country and it’s starting to spark that constant wanderlust feeling for adventure. Do you have a channel or IG I could check out?
@@PerformanceOutdoor We kept a blog from the beginning that has a LOT of content. I think this link should get you there. daveanddiane.wordpress.com We also JUST started a TH-cam channel which is a learning curve for sure. I'm guessing if you click our picture it should take you there.
Yea you said it. Honestly I pack so much other gear, on a bigger backpacking trip I usually just bring a small piece of foam that I use as a seat. The Cliq chair, and now my new Sitpack Campster go with me on most day hikes and tailgates.
I'm looking hard at this chair. Holding off though because it seems like one body twist would torque corkscrew those 4 seat supports which are not connected to each other.
I know what you mean. I don’t know if I’m taking “proper chair technical talk” but the whole thing moves or racks with you. So if you’re sitting and twist your torso one way, the seat moves a bit with you. You can’t do a 360 or get crazy but it has some give. I still love this chair. Legit every soccer game for one of my kids I have someone ask me about it too, especially when they see me open it.
@@PerformanceOutdoor Alright, thanks for the feedback. Can't expect to do a flying flop like my home sofa, of course, but the 225 lb limit on my 'traditional' camp chair is starting to rip gromets with my 180 lb frame. Now, time to sell it to the better half. Thanks again.
Hey Dan. I’ve tried the Sitpack Campster and really like it, but Cliq is still my favorite. Cliq is heavier, but very sturdy on uneven ground and is by far the most comfortable chair I have. I took it hunting and sat in it behind a ground blind for 3+ hours and it was great. I’ve tried a few random ones that friends have that require poles and assembly every time you open them and I’m just not a fan. Cliq all the way for me. Hope this helps.
Valid concern. I’ve used it on the river bank and it was great, but that sand was more compacted. I’ll be bringing it to the beach in a couple weeks but haven’t used it on soft sand yet. Honestly though after a lot of use I’m pretty confident it will be a great beach chair too, the legs are angled outward, so they might sink some but not so much that it would be an issue. I’ll know for sure in a couple weeks!
I still use this chair all the time and it’s holding up really well. My opinion hasn’t changed, I still highly recommend. There are lighter chairs on the market but when you sit in this it feels solid.
Hello - now that you have had the chair for a while, how do you feel about the long term durability? I live on the East Coast and Mother Nature tends to eat everything quickly...
Thank you for this video. It is among many that I've watched and read all comment threads as well. I actually ordered a Cliq Chair today, due largely to this video. I have one question though. They say the legs are made of aircraft type aluminum, and I'm hoping the central piece (the gold piece) is also made of aluminum, not plastic. Can you tell me if that is the case. Thank you very much sir. Cheers from Canada.
Hey Scuff! You Canadians know your outdoor gear, so I take that as a huge compliment! Yes the middle piece is metal. They really did not skimp on any details on this chair. Since making the video it’s still my favorite, despite trying out several since. It has held up really well. Cheers!
@@PerformanceOutdoor Thanks for the quick response, as well as the correct response. I'm so glad to hear that. I've seen too many great ideas and designs ruined by decisions made by the "pencil pushers". For me the Cliq will be in the trunk of the car year round and pulled out for baseball games on Sunday afternoons in the the park. I think it will be an up grade from my other chairs. Happy travels, 'til next time.
Does your chair shift in all directions under weight? Mine moves on the pins holding the chair supports to the legs. It's disconcerting given the size of the pins, but I'm well under the max weight.
Hi Daniel! I feel like the front legs move slightly if I lean forward, but for the most part when I move it’s just the seat/cloth itself moving with me and not the frame. I’m about 185 right now and it feels pretty sturdy to me. Where the leg and chair supports meet there doesn’t seem to be any movement when the legs and back are fully extended.
@@PerformanceOutdoor sweet deal! Lol. I actually did find a few folding camp stools that dont have a cross bar in the middle. I ordered a 2 pack of one brand off of amazon for $30. They weigh about 10 oz a piece. I modified the cloth seat to have a hole down the middle and it works great!
I purchased 2 CLIQ chairs from CLIQ on May 25, 2022. One chair came missing a pin. Emailed CLIQ, few days later, I get a response asking for my address and how many screws I needed to repair the chair. I demanded a new replacement holding CLIQ responsible for their written policy on refunding or replacing broken or damaged product. I received a replacement. NOW, the plastic caps on the back legs of the replacement chair is breaking off. I sent email to CLIQ on 7/5/22. Sent photos requested. No response from CLIQ even after sending several messages. Just sent email to "Holly" on 7/8/22.
That’s unacceptable, sorry to hear. No product or company is immune to defects or failures, but the best are the ones who sort those out quick and easy. Patagonia set the standard there in my opinion. Others need to step in line. Hope they get it fixed for you.
I don’t get much free gear but am certainly grateful for any opportunity to get my hands on something I may not normally buy. Nevertheless I hear you, I’ll always try to be unbiased. Appreciate your time to watch and leave your feedback. Stay well.

I just ordered 2 and they threw in a bag that holds both chairs for free. It states it would be $20.
That’s an awesome surprise!
I agree... but also agree that because its so small u dont need it. But it would be nice for the price.
I’ve spent the last 5, min trying to set up. Returning.

Awesome, I will check y’all out for sure. Just subscribed!
Cliq is a great car camping chair. It is too heavy and bulky for backpacking. That is where the REI Flexlight Air and Helinox Chair Zero comes in.
Yea you said it. Honestly I pack so much other gear, on a bigger backpacking trip I usually just bring a small piece of foam that I use as a seat. The Cliq chair, and now my new Sitpack Campster go with me on most day hikes and tailgates.
Awesome looking chair, great review !!!!
Thank you sir!

You didn't mention that it is DOUBLE the size of any commonly available water bottle.
Ha, yea their claim of being the size of a water bottle is a bit exaggerated
Is the Cliq still your favorite chair or any newer products you've tried that are better?
Hey Dan. I’ve tried the Sitpack Campster and really like it, but Cliq is still my favorite. Cliq is heavier, but very sturdy on uneven ground and is by far the most comfortable chair I have.

That’s too bad, sorry to hear.
I really like it but am concern if the chair will be stable on the sand at the beach

@@PerformanceOutdoor Any updates?
I still use this chair all the time and it’s holding up really well. My opinion hasn’t changed, I still highly recommend. There are lighter chairs on the market but when you sit in this it feels solid.
That’s awesome. I’ve only used it on the beach once, but it sure is a great chair for in the mountains! :)
Hello - now that you have had the chair for a while, how do you feel about the long term durability? I live on the East Coast and Mother Nature tends to eat everything quickly...
Hey Scott. I have used this chair quite a bit and it has held up extremely well. I strongly recommend it.

Great review. How do you think it would hold up on the beach?
Sorry for my delayed response. It holds up great at the beach!

Just ordered a couple of these 👍🏻.
Nice!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
How am I supposed to crap through that chair without greasing up the frame?
I knew I left something out of my review.
@@PerformanceOutdoor there’s a small group of us who are searching for the perfect light weight crapping chair. Lol.
Untapped market right there. I’ll call the R&D guys and get them on it! Haha
@@PerformanceOutdoor sweet deal! Lol. I actually did find a few folding camp stools that dont have a cross bar in the middle. I ordered a 2 pack of one brand off of amazon for $30. They weigh about 10 oz a piece. I modified the cloth seat to have a hole down the middle and it works great!
That’s amazing. What brand of chair? I feel like singing the old Bud Light commercial “real men of genius!”
Holy crap it's 3.65 pounds. Whoa there Nelly. That's kinda heavy. Good review tho man. Thanks.
Yea definitely not the ultra light backpackers 1st choice I will give you that!

Yet another site that gets free gear and then reviews it. How wonderful
I don’t get much free gear but am certainly grateful for any opportunity to get my hands on something I may not normally buy. Nevertheless I hear you, I’ll always try to be unbiased. Appreciate your time to watch and leave your feedback. Stay well.
The chair is a piece of garbage! Catastrophic failure due to inferior metal. One leg at the bottom
Agreed. Should clearly say paid review.
