The key to enjoying the outdoors and the outdoor lifestyle is comfort. Whether relaxing by the campfire, sitting on the beach, or cheering from the sidelines, a comfortable chair is always welcome. And you will find no more comfortable outdoor furniture than the ALPS Mountaineering King Kong folding chair.

ALPS Mountaineering, manufacturer of performance gear for wilderness adventures, exploration, and family camping, introduced the King Kong over a decade ago, and it still holds the title as the best folding chair on the market today. Gear Lab voted the King Kong as the Best Overall Camping Chair for 2023 and 2024, and selected it for the 2024 Editors’ Choice award.

The King Kong is a folding quad chair built around a sturdy steel frame and tough 600D polyester fabric, making it able to hold up to 800 pounds. With its wide footprint and robust design, the King Kong offers the kind of superior stability and ample seating room that makes long sits both relaxing and restorative.

Further aiding in comfort is the plush, quilted seat back and seat bottom along with generous arm rests that feature dual cupholders. To keep essentials close at hand and off the ground, the King Kong also comes with three integrated mesh storage pockets — one beneath each armrest and a larger pocket behind the seat back. They are ideal for stowing snacks, magazines, or mobile devices.

For easy transport, the King Kong includes a convenient carry bag with adjustable backpack straps, allowing for hands-free carry to the water’s edge, the ball field, or anywhere your outdoor activity takes you. The King Kong is available in seven different color options and has an MSRP of $79.99.
