I have to have a perfect tree to sit comfortable using my vest with the cushion seat and more times than not I'm bad uncomfortable and my back hurts within 20 mins. I decided I'd buy the chair from walmart (gobbler lounger) and see it that's any better and, it was but the thing broke after the second weekend. I weight 220 so thats not the issue.
I'd like to hear from yall on what's working and worth the price. All I want is something simple to carry and comfortable.
I'll give a thumbs up to the Alps / Browning. Like American Express

Walmart sells one for 19 dollars and it's rated for 300 pounds ,, it's really nice for the price ...

You found a gobbler lounger at Walmart?
I wish someone made one with a lumbar support. I havent found any that i could sit very long in. I have L4/L5 S1 issues and turkey season takes a toll on me. I try to sit as long as I can but have learned not to push it. If I don't hear anything I don't sit long.
The best I have ever used is The Ultimate Hunting Chair. Been using it for years!!!

If you set down for long periods of time, you won't regret getting a chair. I have the Walmart and Alpz chair and both of them sleep well. Your back will Thank You!!!!!! I weigh about 225 and both of them have served me well. What broke on the Walmart chair?
I use Alps. It's a little bit of a pain to carry it, but it is light and well worth it when you get to where you are going. Especially nice now that I am getting older and I have had back surgery in the past. Killed a nice long beard off of it this morning. He never knew I was there.
I have one that is 15 years old from Cabelas. It is still going strong. I have tossed a couple of others that broke after a few trips. I keep some extras around for when I have a guest hunting with me. If I could find that exact chair I would buy three of them. :(
The cross support legs on the front have a pin holding them together and right there one leg split. Still worked for a few hunts but makes you sit lop sided and bugs me. I'll check out the wingman and some others next chance I get
Thanks guys

Yep. Damn fine chair. For my personal chair, I replaced all the rivets with black oxide bolts and lock nuts.
Sportsman's warehouse now carries the old Walmart Turkey Thug chairs. Picked up (2) this weekend for $20 each.

I have the Alps/Browning model. I like it and use it just about every setup.

Do you have a link or manufacturer? Can't find it.
I have an Alps on order, can't wait to try it out!
How much do some of these chairs weigh? I love my gobbler lounger, but it could lose a couple of pounds.
I bought a new vest with thicker cushions. Gonna try it before I commit to another chair. Can't remember the brand but I'll post it this weekend if I think its comfortable to mention to yall
Primos Wingman or Alps. The cabelas and thug chairs will squeak when you move in them.

As best I can tell, the Cabela's Gobbler Lounger is the lightest of them all at about 6.5 lbs. Most weight 7 or slightly more I've found.
For a blind, you can't beat a Millennium G100. However, they're pricey.
