Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice on a buying a chair. I am after one that is high, rather than a low down one. Any offers on what i should be looking for please?

Korum Deluxe I have had one for 7 years. If by chance you want to make them even higher you can buy a set of telescopic legs and use it at Wimbledon.

Hi there
I got one of the revamped "Fox Adjusta Chairs" last year in a sale... Very good chair. Not high, but better than some.

What I hate on most of the adjustable leg chair is the various mechanisms. You need to adjust each leg and some are hard to work or stop working after a year or so's use.

It's fairly light, well padded and comfy to sit on. And not overly priced.

cheers
Gareth

Bear in mind that if you want a higher chair because you are tall, then you might not fit under your shelter or brolly. I found this out for myself: Daddy longlegs chair + Korum shelter= cricked neck.

North Yorkshire.
A dodgy back saw me looking at higher chairs with higher backs and long legs.
I can get away with more compact chairs for shorter durations but long stay fishing trips left me doubled up. I ended up with the Nash Hi-back. Not much cop on a roving session but fine for everything else. It's not even that heavy when compared to some other similar sized chairs.

However, the point about bivvies, brollies and shelters is a valid one, especially brollies. Fortunately, I'm not overly tall and my brolly is the Fox Supa, that has bags of headroom.

I have a couple of chairs - Korum Accessory Chair and a Nash chair that I've had for a few years.

The Korum chair is a little bulky - comfy mind, but bulky. The Nash chair is great, smaller than the Korum chair, a little heavy - but fine otherwise.

I'm quite interested in a little folding chair the sort of thing that John Wilson used to use in the original 'Go fishing' programmes carried in a net bag - ones that I've seen like this have been awful build quality though :(
