Title: Alps Vanish "MC" chair vs. Cabelas lounger review
Post by: chefrific on April 03, 2018, 11:06:35 AM
I've used the Cabelas lounger for years and it has been my go to chair. However I think I've found one better. The Alps outdoorz "vanish MC".
I'm a big guy and let's just say that I take full advantage of the traditional lounger from cabelas. Getting out of it is almost comical for me. The vanish MC is a good bit wider and the back is higher. I also don't feel like I'm sinking into a hole like I do in the lounger. It sits slightly more upright than the lounger (which I like) and it's still very comfortable.
Weight is 2lbs heavier than cabelas chair.
At the time of this posting Mack's has them on sale.  If you are a pleasantly plump turkey hunter like me or looking for a roomier ground chair this one is worth a buy.
I've attached pictures of it sitting next to the Cabelas lounger for comparison.

No doubt, the Alps or Browning chairs are the best manufactured turkey chair being made right now. I did replace all the rivets in one, but it was 4 years old and been on more hunts in that time than an individual would hunt in a lifetime. The rivets bent, but the metal frame and fabric is still solid.

Mine was noisy when I moved in it and I took it back and bought an Alps, but that was 2 years ago. Cabelas may have fixed the problem
