I have had a small packable camp chair in my trunk for years. I forgot how many times it has helped me out at kids sports and events where packing a chair just didn't cross my mind. It was important to me to replace that after it broke since I have become dependant on always having a chair in my car. I wanted something that packed small enough to throw in my trunk that I never had to take out in order to load something else up.

I found out about Cliq through a random search and was immediately impressed by the size and portability. When fully compacted it is not much bigger than a Stanley style thermos.

Size: Like I said above about the size of a stanley. It weighs in around 4lbs, and would fit in almost any daypack, backpack, or beach bag. You can buy a carry case for it separately.

Assembly/Breakdown: First time out of the box with no instructions read, I was sitting in about 30-40 seconds. I am confident now that I know how to set it up it will take about 10-12 seconds. Breaking down is about the same but give it more like 20-30 seconds after you strap it up and secure it. It's really just as easy as advertised. However do not believe the video where the guy just throws it up and it "pops open" Yes that does happen, but there are some extensions you have to pull out first before sitting on it. To collapse the arms, you slide the extensions back in and then push the button at the center of all the arms and legs, this releases the lock and you can easily fold everything back up stuffing the chair material into the center.

Comfort: Not the most comfortable chair out there, but as good or better than any I have found in this size range. I'm not looking for a soccer dad lay-z-boy. Just a chair I can easily set up and sit on with acceptable comfort. This checks the boxes.

Extras: Unfortunately there's not much. I'd love to have the carry case but couldn't justify $30 for it. I put a large non climbing carabiner on it and it works fine for the walk to the fields. There is a mesh pocket that runs under the chair side to side that is nice for phone and key storage. Water bottle fit but become a bit uncomfortable if they are hard sided. Also if they are going to leak or sweat it will soak into the chair material so be aware. Otherwise this was a pretty clever add that most chairs do not have.

Material: Solid. Much more robust than the other chairs I am used to. All the metal is rigid and the few plastic parts are very high quality. I have no concerns of this breaking due to normal use anytime soon.

Overall this chair is pretty sweet and super portable. I have also got one for my wife's car since she is almost as bad at bringing chairs along as I am. From kids sports to hunting, if you need a portable small chair that easy easy to pack and quick to set up and break down, this one is worth it.

The CLIQ Chair arrives exactly as you’ll use it every day, wrapped up in its simple strap inside a nondescript brown box. I did something I don’t normally do for reviews like this, which is to immediately toss the directions aside and see if I could get the CLIQ up and running and less than 30 seconds just by looking at it; I did it in less than 20!

To set it up, just undo the velcro strap, push the button on the bottom to release the legs (spring loaded!), and pull out each of the pillars for the 4 sides of the chair until they pop into place. That’s it! To take it down, you do the same process in reverse (with the one extra step of pushing down a few metal pegs so that the four pillars telescope back into a collapsed shape). Easy breezy.

So, setup is a cinch, but you’re probably wondering if these hyper-portable chairs are actually comfortable to sit on. The answer? Absolutely.

What was immediately surprising to me after using the CLIQ Chair in the wild a few times was how completely substantial the chair feels in practice. When it’s fully set up, the area where your butt rests is actually only a few inches shorter than the full-sized folding chair that you’re probably used to using. The legs click firmly into place and are super sturdy (more-so than another option I’ll cover in a minute), and my 5’10” 165 lb frame found the CLIQ Chair to be super comfortable, even if you’re sitting in it for a few hours.

That said, the CLIQ Chair is just about the perfect solution for carrying to ball games, concerts, and car camping trips when every bit of space in your trunk matters. In those scenarios, it’s SO much better than the typical folding chairs you probably have in the garage already.

As someone who hates having their arms full, I really love CLIQ Chairs. They’re super handy to keep in the truck, a delight to have at the ballpark, and a must-have if you hit the beach or car-camp on a regular basis. Add one to your wishlist and thank me later. You can checkout

Bought this for my daughter's track season. Needed something very portable so she had something to sit on in the infield in between jumps, etc. The Cliq was perfect. 4 years later the middle section snapped. Took a picture of the broken piece and sent an email. Customer service immediately remedied the situation and sent a replacement chair. Always bet on companies with good customer service!

Received mine just a couple of days ago. Looks pretty cool, compact but feels durable - does not feel flimsy at all, meaning it is heavy. You can feel when it is folded - it is "dense.".

what's good and appreciated

1. compact when folded - this is my primary reason getting these chairs, along with #2 and #3 below.

2. pretty good size when unfolded

3. pretty sturdy build - at least what i feel.

4. easy setup.

5. easy take down.

Issues (or could be)

1. heavy for it's folded size - probably a factor of it's durable-feel build. I'm not convinced you will want to carry this on a hike. Though I don't see them highlighting (or even listing) it's weight on their website, but I may be wrong, though Amazon lists the item weight as 3.65 lbs. However, in comparison, a Helinox Sunset chair weighs 3lb 4oz. Hrmn...

2. on my 3rd time unfolding it, somehow the legs would not click into place. kept folding and unfolding it to see what was wrong, the button at the button was not stuck, and I could not figure out why it was not clicking into place. Eventually as I repeatedly folded an unfolded it, pressing the button, it eventually clicked into place. glad it did, because if it did not, all 6 i ordered would've been sent back for a refund. But still it made me nervous. Another Hrmnt...

3. The back (or seat back) leans in what could be a relaxing position but then seat back does not extend all the way to your neck so you end up leaning back "holding your neck" (either literally or flexing your neck muscles to keep your neck/head upright). not sure how this goes sitting in it for a while. I'll get back to this if it does turn out to be not an issue.

Not an issue but a "hrmnt.." (does not bring a smile on my face at all, if it did it would be sarcasm).

1. as compact as "a water bottle" - not you 16oz bottle size compact, but double that volume. when they said bottle-size they were not lying, but then they probably meant the bigger bottle size -- ooh, marketing gotchas.

2. it's an easy setup - 5 seconds is possible if you practice and aim for it. but you're not gonna do it in 5 in regular use. compared you your folding beach chair (1 second set up and 2 second takedown haha) ?

3. its an easy takedown, but you have to press a total of 7 buttons to unlock the legs and extending arms to unfold them (6 nipples/buttons for the seat arms and the button at the bottom for the legs). It's still easy, but it's not mindless. You have to mind what you're doing. It still easy. oh well. haha.

I bought this 2 years ago, and I’ve used it a lot, and it’s pretty great. I keep it in a neoprene fire extinguisher holder strapped to the roll cage on my Jeep. It’s always handy and ready when I open the back door. It gets dirty regularly and cleans up easily and quickly. I got a good deal on it, and would happily buy again, now that I know the quality means it’s probably lasting many more years.

Setup:

If you can open an umbrella, you can set up this chair. It goes from (large-ish/44oz) water-bottle-sized to fully assembled in about 5 seconds. No wrestling poles, no guessing what clips go where. I’m not as talented and fancy as the guy flicking it open in the videos, but I can sit down pretty quickly 🤣

Portability:

This thing travels easily in a backpack. I’ve taken it to ballgames, fire pits, parking-lot tailgates, Jeep trail rides, camping and even to the airport (TSA might be confused, but they’ll allow it!). It’s sturdy but unbelievably compact — the definition of grab-and-go.

Comfort:

For something this tiny, it’s shockingly solid. It feels like a “real” chair, not a tiny tripod or a gimmick. I’m roughly 6’ and 250lbs, and it still feels stable with no wobble or “am I about to die?” moments. I’m not plopping down or standing quickly because it’s lower to the ground, and I’ve got old man knees. That said, my dog is really happy about the height- I’m closer to her!

Build Quality:

The frame feels premium and durable, not like the cheap aluminum that dents when you look at it. The fabric is tight and supportive, and the whole chair gives off “buy once, cry once” energy. As I mentioned, I did get this on sale and at the time I felt like it was a little pricey. After two years, I can definitely say it was worth every penny. Zero problems, zero dense scratches, breakage anything. Top quality build and design in my opinion.

Where it shines:

• Camping & hiking

• Kids’ sports

• Outdoor concerts

• Fire pits

• Random parking lots when you refuse to stand (Anyone wanna meet at Target parking lot later to wait on the wives?)

• Anywhere you need comfort without hauling a full-size chair

If you want something lightweight, sturdy, and genuinely convenient — this is the one.

UPDATE 10/28/25: I initially gave this product a 5 star review but have changed it to a 1 star. The item stopped working about 11 months after purchase: itwouldn't lock into place. I contacted their customer service because it was within their 1 year warranty period. I had about 5-6 back and forth emails with them: they kept asking for more details about what was wrong and then asked for photos and then asked for more photos which was very annoying. FINALLY after 2 weeks of back and forth they said they would send a replacement. Now after 3 weeks of waiting I have yet to receive a replacement. I contacted them a week and a half ago letting them know I didn't receive the replacement. They made the excuse that they're switching warehouses. Not sure that makes any sense because they said they're fulfilling the replacement from Amazon stock (which comes from an Amazon warehouse and doesn't require switching warehouses). I've been without a chair for nearly 2 months (it took me a couple weeks after it broke to reach out to them) and I kept delaying purchasing another chair because I thought this one would come soon. Obviously I was wrong and regret not purchasing a different chair because I haven't had one to sit in for all of my kid's sports games for the past 2 months. My advice is to buy a different, cheaper chair because this one doesn't last and their warranty is garbage.

If you want something lightweight and compact then you should consider the Cliq. It folds up very small and is much, much, much lighter than those fold out camping chairs. I don't need something super comfortable for a long period of time, just needed a chair for hour long soccer games where I can stand for part of the time and sit for some of it when my legs want a break. I hate lugging those heavy, bulky camping chairs to and from the soccer field. Much easier to take a Cliq and it's very simple to setup. The chair is expensive but it was exactly what I was looking for, it fits all of my needs and I use it a lot so that justifies the higher price tag.

Amazing chair, I’m able to sit in it with full kit on, wish the back was a little longer so I can lead my head up against something. Also the most I’ve ever spent on a Feild chair. Very compact and light weight.

Short Review: Solid metal construction. Compact size. Very heavy for size. Easy to set up. Difficult to close. Can feel metal struts when you sit. Short term comfort good, long term comfort questionable. Bottom pockets worthless. Expensive.

Rambling Review: This is a good chair overall. It is well built. It sets up very fast and is very sturdy. So sturdy that it is really too heavy for backpacking and not pleasant to use for short hikes into lawn concerts, outdoor events, etc. It's a brick in your day pack. Did I say it is very, very heavy for a camp chair? I gave it a lower mark for comfort also because when you sit in the chair you can feel some of the metal struts. I am 5'5" and weigh 170, not the thinnest dude but not big or anything. Maybe a child or a small person wouldn't feel the struts. I wear size medium and 32 waist and I certainly felt it. They need to re-engineer it a bit so that when you sit down you can't feel anything but the mesh seat, maybe tight up the fabric? Not sure.

The chair is a bit difficult to close also especially when your hands are cold. The small metal buttons on the riser parts can be yanked out fairly easily during setup but they take some hard pressing to collapse them. You have one on each riser on the low side and two on the two risers on the back side. In the cold with gloves it is a bit difficult to push the metal button enough to cause the riser to collapse. The instructions say they will loosen up with time but I had it out for a good month on a cross country trip and it really didn't loosen up. The big button on the bottom (which allows the four legs to lock down for sitting and to unlock and pivot up for storage) also doesn't cooperate sometimes.

The chair has a bottom mesh pocket which is wortheless, also why I lowered it to a 3 star review instead of a 4. You can't really put anything in their except a napkin unless you like sitting on whatever it is you put in the pocket because that's what the effect is. And when you sit on the chair you won't be able to get anything out of the pocket not even the napkin. It would have been nice if they would have made a pocket with a bit of dimension ie loose mesh on the bottom with an elastic opening, something that had some volume that you could access and use while sitting on the seat. Oh, there are loops on the corners of the chair made of cheap or fairly light ribbon. It seems out of place with such rugged construction, they should have made the loops thicker or cord. If you start hanging a hydroflask or something heavy with a caribiner from these loops they'll break in no time. Comfort is good for short term sitting but a lack of back and neck support and the sitting angle might be tiresome if you sit in the chair for a long time. Would I buy it again? Not sure.

So far the best I have ever come across

海外のキャンパーさんの動画に登場し、軽く持ち運びがしやすそうという印象から購入に至りました。

Helinox等の軽量チェアとはさすがに比較できませんし、重量はよくある安価なローチェアとほぼ同じか少しばかり軽いくらいですので持ち運ぶ限りは劇的な感動はありません。強いて言えばバックパックやコンテナにも簡単に入れて持ち運べるコンパクトさはひとつ買いの理由になると思います。

ただ、設営になるとその印象は変わります。

ワンタッチ、ではありませんが脚を開いて伸ばすだけ。この機構のためにお金を出しただけあります。

また座面がメッシュとナイロン生地のためサラサラとしており、座り心地はゆったりと包み込むような感覚のためちょっと腰掛けるだけでなくしっかりとくつろぐこともでき、荷物の少ないキャンプの場合にはメインチェアとしても扱えるでしょう。

個人的にとても買いだった良い商品ですが、購入のネックは値段にあるかと思います。

ここ最近でいくつか類似商品が出回っており、機構も同じようなもののためもしかするとさして遜色が無いのかもしれません。

しかし、比較した上での評価ではありませんがこちらのCliqは機構部分のスムーズさや座面とフレームの縫合など細かな部分をとっても所謂「ちゃんとした作り」となっており、特殊な扱いをしない限りは生地が裂けたりフレームが折れたりといったことは起きにくいと思います。

所有欲もしっかりと満たしてくれる商品ですので、購入に迷っている際はぜひ。

Really small and easy to use, comfort wise, have not tested it.

Great little chair, very convenient to carry around due to its small profile. Because of its build quality weighs a bit more than you expect for its size. Value for money, I’m not sure about as very expensive compared to other compact chairs, but you can see and feel where your money has been spent. I will be purchasing another when price drops a bit. I’d expect something in this price range to come with a carry bag but alas not so had to purchase an after market one for £10. I would recommend this chair as it is very comfortable to sit in and extremely easy to erect and pack away again. Great little chair👍

just what l ordered very satisfied
