There’s something about the nature of the adventures in hiking or camping that call to the rugged, dare devil side of our personality. He-man types can take on the challenge of going where no paving machine has gone. So if you’ve got your eye on just the right folding lounge chair, how do you reconcile that with your image as an outdoor adventurer?
Take a close look at the options and features available today on the wide ranging styles of outdoor folding lounge chairs, and you’ll find some fodder for your foray into indulgence for the camp fire scene.
One of the more hedonistic styles of folding beach lounge chairs includes the Ostrich lounge chair, so called because it has a unique design that allows for a patented face cavity that can be opened to allow for complete comfort while sun tanning: open up the cavity, draw up the pads that will support the face, and you can relax while still reading the book or viewing the area below the chair.
If that sounds like too hard a sell to reconcile something like that tanning chair with the open trail gear you usually use, then perhaps something along the lines of a folding chaise lounge chair would fill the bill. The concept behind this item is still the “folding” part (hence, it qualifies for the camping trip). But additionally it is made to fold at multiple places along the body silhouette, thus creating something that looks terrific –and terrifically comfortable – yet which still folds away when the adventure is over. Your body can be supported in a manner of luxurious, flexible ways without leaving behind the whole feel of the camping chair.
But folding lounge chairs don’t have to be decadent in the delightful support and seating that they offer for your outdoor use. Your only options don’t consist only of the Ostrich, or the chaise lounge, or the ergonomic, zero gravity, fully cushioned Lazy Boy recliner model. It is possible to find more spartan, stream-lined and simple construction in folding chairs, even if it is a lounge model (i.e. it supports the entire body, legs included, as well as the upper torso). There is a place for full-body support even in the outdoors world of tents, sleeping bags and camp fires. And if you keep shopping long enough, you are sure to find something that balances the scales between outdoor tough man and indoor wimp. I promise.
