Overview
The original Crazy Creek chair is still one of our favorites and wins our Best Buy award. It is comfortable, extremely durable, easy to set up, and offers a good value. That said, if you have the cash, we would upgrade to our Editors' Choice, the Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 PowerLounger. The PowerLounger is the same weight and as compact but is much larger, more comfortable, and versatile.

The Original Crazy Creek remains a great camp chair among more fierce competition. It is a little more comfortable than the Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 chair. It is very durable. Its the only chair we tested that has been around in a similar design for 10+ years. Many friends still have their Crazy Creek chairs from the 90's that are still going strong. It has convenient grab loops on the top and bottom that are great for securing the chair went boating or when it's really windy out. Two Velcro tabs on the side make it very fast to collapse. It is easy to clean and keep clean. Dislikes Unlike the Hex 2.0 chairs, the original does not roll up into a compact package. This makes the chair more of a pain to transport. It's hard to fit it in a backpack and usually has to be awkwardly clipped on the outside. Other Versions If you are looking at this chair, also check out the Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 LongBack. It is a little more comfortable and lighter. There is also a larger version of this chair for just a few dollars more. The larger version is noticably more comfortable. — Chris McNamara Compare this product side-by-side to top competitors >
