The verdict
This chair is available exclusively at Winfields Outdoors, and we think it’s a corker! Over the years we’ve owned loads of different camp chairs, from the typical bog standard camp chairs to funky lightweight chairs aimed at backpackers and huge padded moon-chairs, and this is the best of the lot.
The first thing that struck us was the size, they were far bigger than expected, even though we were aware they are ‘oversized’. Packed down, they are very close to the size of an adult moon-chair, so do take up a fair bit of space in the boot of the car.
That said, they come in high quality carry bags and are quick and easy to put up and take down again, requiring next to no effort. We love camping gear that’s intuitive to use and fast to put up, and the Vango Apollo does both of those things well.
The dark grey colour of our chairs is dark enough to make them practical, but not dark enough to make them look dreary. We went for grey as we have such a vast amount of colourful camping gear and tents, so wanted a colour that would go with everthing regardless of our camping set up.
The coated fabric is made out of 600 denier polyester and it’s nice to the touch. There’s a bit of padding too which adds to the comfort of the chairs.
The frame feels very sturdy (in fact it can take up to 180kg in weight) and whether I was sitting on it with my feet on the ground, with my legs curled up under me or lounging on it sideways with my legs hanging over the arm, it still felt comfortable and capable.
Final say
Quality 5/5
Practicality 4/5
Value 5/5
Overall Rating 
(4.5 / 5)
These are hands down the comfiest camp chairs we’ve ever owned. They are so big that you can comfortably stay seated around the campfire all night, and if you like to curl up, these chairs are big enough to allow you to do that.
The downside is that they do take up a fair bit of space, at least double the amount of space a standard camp chair takes up, but in our opinion, the extra bulk is worth it for the enhanced comfort.
A must-buy for family campers spending large amounts of time camping and well worth their £49.99 price tag, in fact we think at that price they are a bit of a steal!
