Not every camp chair needs padding and a high back. On a hot day at the beach or a quick stop on a 4WD trip, a light mesh chair that keeps you cool is often the better seat. The Coleman Quad Deluxe Mesh Event Chair is that: a low, light quad-fold chair with a breathable mesh seat.
We’ve used it at campgrounds, for roadside stops and on warm afternoons at camp.
What’s in the box

Mesh and comfort
The mesh is the point: air moves through it, so you don’t get the sticky, sweaty back you get in a fabric chair on a hot day. Sand and dust brush off and it rinses clean. There’s no padding and no recline, though, and the mesh sags a little under weight, so it’s comfortable for an afternoon rather than a whole evening by the fire. The low seat suits the beach and events but is a long way down if you’re tall.
Frame and stability
The steel quad frame is light but solid, and the low, wide base with its big plastic feet makes it very stable on grass and uneven ground. The mesh is well stitched where it meets the frame.
Packing and carrying
It folds in seconds and slides into its bag, 71 × 17 × 15 cm packed. At 2.6 kg with a shoulder strap, it’s the chair you grab without thinking about it.
