Hi-Gear Mantua Deluxe Moon Chair

Product Information

The Hi-Gear Mantua Deluxe Moon Chair is a high-quality and comfortable camping chair that provides a unique and relaxing seating experience. It is perfect for camping trips, festivals, and other outdoor adventures where comfort and style are important. In terms of comfort, it’s what we would call acceptable. Not earth shatteringly great, but fine for an hour or so to have dinner or a few drinks. It’s not the sort of chair you can sink in to and fall asleep – the sitting position is fairly upright. Portability: The chair is lightweight and comes with a carry bag, making it easy to transport and store. It’s worth noting that the Orson is not the cheapest of the pumpless inflatable loungers – there are lower priced rival inflatable products such as the Siphly chair.

I thought I’d miss having armrests to relax my arms, but I barely noticed they weren’t there and it made the chair lighter. The one downside is that the drinks holder has to be strapped onto the bottom, as you can see in the photo. It holds a water bottle, but up-ends any glass with a stem, predictably.Aimed at the younger market (although certainly not restricted to them) with a bunch of loud colours in the lineup, the Orson is essentially a large bag which can be waved around your head to fill up with air and then sealed via a velcro strip.

The drinks holder in the right hand arm is of good quality and makes it a substantial improvement over their cheaper outdoor camping chair we reviewed previously, but for double the expense. Is it worth that extra? Well to our minds yes it is. If camping is a way of life for you, where you might spend many hours per year drinking in the countryside views, then having a decent chair is worth 30 quid of your money. Then the clever bit – the velcro part is rolled over itself a few times to slightly reduce the volume of the enclosed space. This increases the air pressure inside and gives the bag a decent amount of support. And boy is this lounger comfortable! Style: The moon-shaped design of the chair is unique and stylish, adding a touch of sophistication to your camping setup.The chair legs are strong and sturdy – this is clearly a quality item and is capable of supporting people up to 120kg in weight. The drinks holder in the left arm is of great quality, and there is even a cooler box section in the right arm – perfect to keep a couple of tinnies cool on a hot day! Homecall are a fairly new camping equipment company, but we are finding that they offer sturdy and comfortable gear at decent value for money.

In use, we found it comfortable and rugged – there doesn’t seem much chance of legs breaking or material wearing away. There’s also a drinks holder fitted to the right hand arm rest – just where most of us need it! One of our new faves is the Vango Thor folding chair – a great chair from a great company who stand by their warranties and have been around for what seems like Thorever! I’ll get my coat…The chair legs are strong and sturdy – this is a quality item and is capable of supporting people up to 150kg in weight. Each foot of the chair has three legs sprouting out which gives excellent stability. Is the Kingcamp worth the price tag? Well to our minds yes it is. If camping is a way of life for you, where you might spend many hours per year appreciating the countryside views, then having a decent chair is worth a modest outlay.

There is a standard drinks holder in the right armrest which can hold a 500ml bottle of ale, and also an awesome cooler box in the left – perfect to keep a couple of tinnies chilling on a hot day! There is a standard drinks holder in the right armrest which can hold a 500ml bottle of ale, and an awesome cooler box section in the left – perfect to keep a couple of tinnies cool on a hot day! We really appreciated this feature dueing the recent UK heatwave (sadly now gone!). The Coleman is light but strong and doesn’t take up much space at all when folded. The dimensions are only 78 x 55 x 13 cm and the weight just under 3.5kg – pretty good specs. Sometimes you think you’ve seen all the camping chairs that could possibly be created – and then the Alpha Camp folding camping chair pops up! In terms of extras the KingCamp excels. There are two storage aids – a decent side cup bag which could be used to hold a flask or your mobile phone for example. There is also a cooler bag included which can store two or three cans and keep them cool if you’ve taken them out of the fridge. A really neat touch.
