ARB SPORT CAMP CHAIR

By RockCrawler.com · Comments (0)
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

67 ARB SPORT CAMP CHAIRSeattle, September 28th/ ARB 4×4 Accessories/ — One of the biggest problems with camping chairs on the market today is that they are built to meet a price point which effectively means they are not built to last. So when ARB started looking for a camp chair, number one on the list of priorities was strength and durability. We looked to individually test many chairs and after several months we found the design that could stand up to the task. For extra strength and added comfort, we specified a chair that had aluminum arm rests and was slightly larger than the standard chairs on the market, but still compact enough to be folded and packed in a carry bag. For extra strength and packability, this chair features locking tabs to keep the chair folded when packed and locked for additional strength when assembled. Satisfied with the strength and durability, ARB is pleased to offer a chair that can stand up to the rigorous demands of our customers.
