When juggling gear, chasing daylight, or setting up camp with kids in tow, your chair should be the easiest part of your setup. That’s precisely what CLIQ delivers. Our chairs are built for real-life adventurers who don’t have time to wrestle with clunky frames or confusing instructions. Here’s how setup and takedown work — no fuss, no guesswork:
Setting Up Your CLIQ Lightweight Camping Chair:
- Unpack Your Chair: Carefully take your CLIQ chair out of its travel bag if included. Undo the velcro strap securing the chair.
- Unfold The Legs: Unfold the legs and invert the chair until the button on the MAGIQ™ Hub clicks into place.
- Extend The Front Arms: Starting with the two front arms, which are shorter and only click once, extend each arm to its full length.
- Extend The Back Arms: Next, extend and click each back arm to its full length with a second click. If you’ve heard seven clicks total, you’re ready to sit back and enjoy the day in comfort!
- Adjust The Headrest: For models with recliner adjustability, such as the EpiQ Lounge, adjust the headrest by pulling on the straps.
- Enjoy Your Seat: Once your chair is set up, sit down, lean back, and relax in the comfort and support of your CLIQ chair — whether at the beach, in your backyard, or enjoying any outdoor setting, your chair is ready for you to enjoy.
Packing Up Your CLIQ Chair:
Packing up is just as hassle-free. Here are some tips on how to quickly fold down your CLIQ chair for storage:
- Collapse The Arms of the chair by pressing the release buttons.
- Invert The Chair and press the center button on the MAGIQ™ Hub design.
- Use The Velcro to secure your chair.
- Pack It Away using a carrying case, so that you can pack your chair into a car trunk, a closet, and more.
Tips For Choosing The Right Camping Chair
Selecting the ideal lightweight camping chair can elevate your outdoor experience from ordinary to exceptional. A dependable chair isn’t just about a place to rest—it’s a cornerstone of comfort after a day of adventure. Here are the core considerations every adventurer should keep in mind.
Weight Versus Durability
One of the main advantages of a lightweight camping chair is portability. But striking a balance is crucial: the lightest model isn’t always the most durable. Assess the materials—look for aircraft-grade aluminum frames and robust, ripstop fabrics. This ensures your chair handles rugged use without adding unnecessary ounces to your pack.
Compactness And Packability
Outdoor adventures often have tight packing constraints. Assess the chair’s packed size. Does it collapse down to the size of a water bottle, or does it require its own compartment? Chairs that fold into ultra-compact shapes make transport easy whether you’re hiking deep into the backcountry or simply heading to a local park.
Ease Of Setup
After a long trek, no one wants to wrestle with awkward, overly complex gear. Evaluate how quickly the chair can go from packed to ready for use. Innovative hub technologies and simple, intuitive assembly are hallmarks of user-friendly seating solutions.
Comfort Features
A lightweight chair shouldn’t compromise on comfort. Consider seat height, back support, and ergonomic design. Look for features like breathable fabrics, contoured frames, and steady bases to ensure your resting spot is more than just functional—it’s also a respite.
Weight Capacity And Stability
Check the maximum weight rating and the chair’s stability on different terrains. Even lightweight models can offer robust support, but you’ll want to be confident that the chair stands firm on gravel riverbanks and forest floors.
By weighing these factors, you'll be better equipped to choose a camping chair that complements your adventurous spirit and meets the demands of your excursions.
Maintenance And Care Tips For Your Lightweight Camping Chair
A little strategic maintenance is essential to keep it performing at its best trip after trip. Here’s how to ensure your chair lasts so you can focus on adventure, not repairs.
Regular Cleaning Matters
After each outing, shake off dirt, sand, or debris from the frame and seat fabric. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down surfaces, especially after exposure to mud, seawater, or food spills. Avoid harsh chemicals—they can degrade both fabric and frame over time.
Dry Before Packing
Moisture is the enemy of longevity. Always let your chair dry completely before packing it away. Whether it’s morning dew or a surprise rain shower, storing your chair while wet can lead to mildew, unpleasant odors, and eventual material breakdown. Air dry your chair in a shaded spot to avoid UV damage.
Inspect For Wear And Tear
Before and after your adventure, check quickly for snags, loose stitching, or cracks in the frame. Catching minor issues early makes repairs easier and ensures safety. Pay special attention to moving parts and load-bearing points—these are the most likely to experience stress.
Store Smart, Not Just Small
While the compact design encourages stashing your camping chair anywhere, long-term storage in a calm, dry environment is key. Don’t leave your chair in the trunk for weeks or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as extreme temperatures and UV rays can degrade materials.
Lubricate Moving Parts
If your chair features folding or locking mechanisms, periodic lubrication with a silicone-based spray can keep movement smooth and prevent rust. Wipe away any excess lubricant to avoid attracting dust and debris.
