YETI has kicked off camping season’s arrival with some pink and purple accessory additions and has now expanded its outdoor seating lineup with the launch of the new Trailhead Field Chair. Tackling the pain points of the brand’s Trailhead Camp Chair and Hondo Beach Chair, the latest addition is the most packable and portable yet. Introducing a quad-folding frame, the chair folds to fit into an included carry bag.
For those seeking a slightly less expensive or lightweight camping chair, the Trailhead Field is 30 percent lighter than its predecessors and about $75 cheaper. To put that into context, the Trailhead Camp Chair weighs 13.3 lbs at $300, whereas the Hondo Beach Chair tops at 12 lbs for the same price. The Trailhead Field cuts the weight down to 9.3 lbs and can be yours for $225.
The Trailhead Field Chair is the brand’s debut in the smaller footprint. Addressing long-standing feedback on the weight and high price of the previous models, the brand has forgone armrests and built-in cup holders. Making the overall silhouette slimmer, the chair still leans towards durability and comfort over complete minimalism. It is ergonomically designed to provide comfort after a day full of adventure.
The chair features YETI’s proprietary Twilite fabric, a durable, UV-resistant synthetic material that feels softer against the skin and supports up to 350 pounds. It features a quad-fold aluminum frame that collapses the chair enough to fit into an accompanying carry bag, making portability more feasible. Moreover, the GroundGrip feet are wide and sturdy, giving the seat more stability even on uneven terrain.
Just by shrinking the aluminum arms, the chair becomes an easy alternative for camping and picnics beyond the backyard. So, if you don’t mind holding your drink, you can check out the Trailhead Field Chair on the website and choose from the two colors: black and tan.
