Light weight chairs

[Jon Young]

Hi Neil. I’d say the only issue you might find is the chairs back being too high to get the straps over.
Korum ruckbag chairs are always very low on the back.
you could look at fitting the chair to the back of the bag and carry them together that way. Older Korum ruckbags had 4 strong Velcro loops which were conveniently spaced about 450mm apart. Same width of most lightweight chairs.

The new korum bags the straps come off the sides on the bottom so doesn’t matter how high the chair is. The old roving rucksack the straps came over the top and bottom of the chair

Cheers Jon. It’s the new transition compact ruckbag I’m looking at.

I’ve got a Korum Aeronium,and although it’s not the comfiest chair it is extremely light,I’ve remedied this by putting a 1 inch thick foam pad on the seat,ideal for short (up to 4 hours) sessions.As far as the short legs are concerned,I’m not the tallest person so not too much of a problem.I used a JRC ultralight (still got it) before the Korum but find the Korum much easier to carry

I got the bigger bag but think it’s the same on the smaller one. I could be wrong though

 

[Jon Young]

It looks the same as the larger one so should be all good as long as the chair isn’t too wide for it

Yes but they still have to go over the top of the folded chair if your using the system as intended and if it’s got a high back you’ll struggle to get your arms in.

Put the chair upside down. That’s how I have mine now

I’m not really sure what difference that makes. You’ll probably have to explain with some pictures.
If the area of the chair is bigger than the bag you’ve still got to get the straps over it. Upside down or not it’s the same size and I know from trying it out myself higher backed chairs do not work very well using Korums system. The straps go over it but very little room left to get your arms in. Especially in a thick winter coat.

They are very light but They made a lot of sacrifices to get it there.
tiny mud feet, zero padding and a measly 2 inches of leg extension.
the old n’s were the best n’s

I had an original Nash nomad with carry strap, the leg extensions needed regular maintenance , my mate sold me his indulgence , the seat had been mauled with by mice , I removed the chair cover and fitted my nomad chair cover, fitted perfect .Should of kept it but moved it on .

I’ll put a pic when I get chance. The clips at the top end of the bag attach to the legs of the chair so the straps only need to go over the top of them

you could also go for the fox camolite ruckall more expensive but the best bag i have ever had and well made it will strap any seat to it via the strap which are also removable

You’ll struggle to find one now Ray. Second hand they are fetching stupid money of 110-115

Pardon our interruption...

 

[Richard Isaacs]

it’s typical fox camolite. They don’t seem to keep stuff in the portfolio for long. The pike version is still around which is exactly the same baring the colour

 

[Ray Heath]

Pardon our interruption...

lol you can say what price you want but does not mean anyone will buy it

 

[Dave Brooksbank]

I've seen discontinued hard to get hold of stuff sell at ridiculous high prices when available.

 

[Jon Young]

Here’s a pic of how the chair fits. The arm straps easily lift over the legs to unclip the chair. My chair hasn’t got a high back but you can see that it wouldn’t be a problem if it was as the straps are to the side of the chair at the bottom of the bag

 

[Richard Isaacs]

I see. So the straps come out the side rather than the bottom of the chair. So effectively your using it with the Korum hooks supporting the whole weight of the chair rather than the straps. Gotya now. Cheers.
