The best part of this review is how honest you are. I've been looking for something and i'm somewhat of a bigger guy, 6 ft 220. Some of this light weight stuff just doesn't fit my "patute" if you know what I mean. You look to be a size-able guy as well so its good to see that a taller back could have benefit. Thanks so much!
Helpful review. Going with the Hex 2.0. I am small. It's compact and will really work for my needs. Was waffling and your review solidified my choice. Was a camper but my purpose this summer is for comfortable reading outside at the park or on the beach. My issue was said chair being compact so it can fit in my bicycle basket. Nice review!!! Thank you!
Excellent review and I also love my Crazy Creek chair for all the same reasons you mentioned and both of my backpacking buddies also have these chairs and they feel the same about them.
Nice review. For a little added comfort on the Crazy Creek chair, check out the Therm-a-rest Z seat pad. I got one on sale and just keep it in the car for outings. Excellent cushion for VERY little weight. Also easily straps to the outside of your pack.
Contemplating getting one of these Crazy Creek chairs for day walks. For overnight hiking I have a Helinox Ground Chair and that is brilliant, especially when the ground is wet/muddy/sandy.
Interesting comparison. I was looking for crazy creek comparisons and didn’t realize you included the Helinox. I have the Helinox and love it. I also have the optional round feet to keep it from sinking in the sand, they fit right into the Helinox bag. For day hikes, hands down, the Helinox is the winner for me as I hike in dry and wet conditions, I can’t sit on the wet ground with a crazy creek. However, I’m looking for a crazy creek for a totally different scenario and your video mostly pointed me to the tall back one. I only wish you had moved your camera down so we could have seen you in the actual chair.
Great review! Im looking for a chair I could use as a backrest for when im out on the water in the jetski and just want to lounge for a few minutes, and eat some food while finally being able to lean back. Do you think the bottom part would adjust to the curvature of a jetski seat?
I think it would work well for that. The chair is rigid in one direction (the carbon fiber poles provide that rigidity) but it will conform left to right.
Thanks for the review . I got the long back and the model I got this week does not roll up like the one you have ! Does not appear to have the strap to even hold it if it were possible to fold it up like the long back in your video. What is wrong here ? I’m disappointed .
I used the Crazy Creek chair in the Amazon and lover it but I broke the back support rod and still would get another it just works! That is if you can get up from the ground easily at 60+ it's not pretty but I can do it ! Love the Chair.
Great review, I was looking to see the differences between the regular and Longback version of the Crazy Creek chairs, and you addressed every question I had. It also almost looks like you could transport the standard sized chair inside the Longback chair if you were creative about folding them, but maybe that isn't possible.
Measure the back and ware it hits you on your back if to short or long it can Dig in to your back. I am tall and the tall back didn't fit ! The short do so measure and find out if the top of the seat may dig into your back! In my case shorter was better than having it dig into in my arm pits. great chair if it fits you so try it out in a store if you can first! Yes I am old school!

It also works as a nap pad, right?

update with helinox zero chair please
Great video. Just what I was looking for
Great video thanks
Should be comparing to the Helinox Zero chair. The One is not a backpacking chair in MHO
Love your review Michael! You can also pack them on the outside of your pack. How would you feel about Crazy Creek sharing your review on our sites?
Crazy Creek Products totally fine!!!
Shame the chair was out of vision when you were sat in it.
