"A-Rest" chair..anybody try one?

[Zradix]

Hey gang,

I usually hunt in natural ground blinds.
But on really rainy days I take out my pop up blind.

I've been using a small 3 legged folding chair with a back for years and it's ok..not great but comfortable enough and it happens to slide into the blind's "bag".
Like this...
 

Anyway, my chair has finally bit the dust.
So I was looking for another and can find them for $20 or so.

While looking I found this "A-rest" chair.
It's bigger but does look way more comfortable.
Prob won't fit completely into the blind's bag..but having a bit of it sticking out the top wouldn't be too bad.

Anyway, just curious if any of you have experience with it.

Here's a pic...  


Here's a quick vid of it..

I hope you get some feedback on this. My three legged chair is about used up, and this one looks pretty good.

apparently those are no longer available. that's a great looking chair. and simple design..

Can't find a price or any info on it.

This chair is a similar design though it appears to be better made and is adjustable.   http://www.bahunting.com/products/chairs/

Nice looking chair, but 8.5# would be a deal-breaker for me.

Very unconventional but extremely light and comfortable is the Helinox Chair. I got mine from Mystery Ranch for around $89. I was extremely skeptical of the pictures, but found the chair to be built tank-tough, comfy, and packs to the size of a bread loaf. Only 2.2 pounds.

Used to show up under "hunting products/hunting chair"

Just checked again this morn after reading your post...

Wonder if they plan on making more...?

Neat looking chair Kevin...

Well gang...

The race is on...
Just called them..
They have two left and just put it back on the site...

Good luck!

I have a chair like our top one and I love it!!

I would bet you would find the A-Rest far less comfortable than your old one.

I have had one for maybe 8/9 years. to me it is the most comfortable chair I have used. I found it to better for me than the huntmore I had and sold. The draw back is the legs do not adjust. If I was on unleveled ground I just used a small hand shovel I carried in my fanny pack to dig a little hole for the leg that needed it. Mine was bought from Pam's archery when they were in business.

Thanks Bob.

I've been turkey hunting since the first of the week. I ordered the A-Rest chair on line before I left to go hunting. Made a quick run home this morning and the chair was in the P.O. Postmaster said it had been there for a couple days. Looks good, light weight, solid, comfortable and easy to sling on the back. I think it's going to work well with my 5.5' Hidden Hunter blind, making for a fast pickup and go to the birds outfit.
