Roamer chair or similar

[Mike Cornish]

On the forever quest of scaling down and travelling as light as poss, I've been looking more and more at the cotswold roamer chair/shimano stalker seat type folding chairs. Does anyone use one, and how do you find it?

 

[Cliff Turner]

Ive recently bought one of these - https://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/korum-supa-lite-stretch-standard-chair

only used it twice, very light, quite small so if you are a big lump not ideal, but as a roving chair first impressions favourable, obviously can't comment yet on how durable it will be.

Doesn't look very versatile to me, and frankly you are sacrificing comfort I reckon. I have a few chairs and all seem a bit bulky and heavy for roaming, except for one I bought on a whim and it is a brilliant little stool, the 'Shaky' with backrest.
No good for sloping banks but very good on level pegs and folds up into my net bag.
Not very 'carpy' in looks but the upright position is well suited for ledgering / touch ledgering with the rod butt on your knee.
£25 approx. and well made.

Go out doors do a chair that only weighs

Only 4.45kg

I've tried to insert a link but it keeps coming up with Daiwa sensor line for some reason..

Highlander do a similar seat to the Cotswold roamer and its only £15 so not much wasted if you didnt use it

That Highlander one might be a good shout, just to see if it's actually usable. The idea seems great, but reality might be different. It's a shame there's not many light weight chairs available now. That korum one looks good but pricey, regret selling my original Nash nomad years ago

I use this one from Shakespeare. It also means I don’t need to carry a rucksack. I think they do one with a backrest as well.

Yep I mentioned in my post, the backrest version is better imo, the rucksack can get in the way imo.

Sorry yes, I was being a bit thick there for a minute. I have used mine for a few seasons now and also tried the Nighthawk version with a backrest but found it a bit heavy so went back to the Shakespeare.
