Of course, along the way we put it through product testing in the Desert Southwest, in Chilean Patagonia and in our own warehouse.ĭETAILS: We overbuild. Our Ballistic Nylon and Polyester Meshes are the result of having a need and then working with suppliers to make it happen. We use a double layer instead of a single layer like the discount store chairs. Since 1984 we have sold over 2.5 million chairs  thatÂs a lot of real life abuse (we call it product testing).įABRIC: The common thread throughout our line is that each fabric must be the ultimate in durability for its intended use. Natural selection has led to a design that is as simple, as light and as tough as possible. And itÂs not what you get, but whatÂs missing that counts.ĭESIGN: TRAVELCHAIR® started the whole folding furniture genre in 1984. Are you thinking of getting that less expensive chair? Just remember, itÂs less expensive for a reason. Instead of drilling a large hole to drop our rivet into and then mashing down the ends for a tight fit, we drill to exacting tolerances, which means more manufacturing time spent creating TRAVELCHAIR® products, and much longer, happier life in your hands.įRAMES: Our steels and aluminums are a grade higher than what is on the market and a tick or two thicker. RIVETS: Not all rivets are the same - ours are oversized to maintain frame integrity. High strength nylon and double stitching means no compromise in durability for you. GROMMETS: TRAVELCHAIR® molds grommets to conform to optimal angles when the chair is loaded. Our nylon insures that the feet in your chair will be yoga flexible and powerlifter strong. Our feet are designed, like our molded grommets, to be at peace when loaded. Neither would you.įEET: Who would think that a little black piece could be so important? Feet hold the chair together and keep you out of the dirt. We could do the Âindustry standard and just take another fold of our 600 denier fabric for reinforcements, but we wouldnÂt be happy with the results. WEBBING: Seat belt webbing is good enough to save your life and it is good enough to reinforce our chairs. But we want it to be the best chair that youÂve ever owned. We overbuild them from the nylon that we use in the feet to the webbing that holds the seatbacks to the frames. Since 1984 we have been designing chairs in phun hog heaven in Gig Harbor, Washington. But if your chair breaks it will hack you off. Or breaking a paddle on a Class V river just before you skirt that terminal sieve. Right? ItÂs not like a carabineer straightening out and sending you hurtling to your death.
