Title: What is the best low seat with a frame
Post by: Alabama556 on February 22, 2025, 12:49:58 PM
I have been told I am missing out by not using a low seat with a frame.

I see millennium makes one but I am sure there are others.

Any recommendations?

I realize you mention no back to the seat but this type of seat has been a game changer for me. I can sit comfortably if the morning is slow and I'm not running and gunning. There are several different manufacturers but as to the best quality I don't know. I bought mine from Cabelas and it's 2 years old but show some wear.

Cabelas makes a nice low profile blind chair. Isn't very heavy and has a shoulder strap.

I've been using the Eno for several seasons and love it. For even lighter weight take the Alpz stadium seat.

Thanks. Are the seats more comfortable than Glenda's seat with the tire tube in them?

I haven't used the seats but they're bound to be more comfortable than the Glenda Green seats. I bought two and ended up giving them to the kids. I'd rather sit on the ground lol

I bought two of the old-style low beach chair on Facebook marketplace for $5. I spray painted them, they may not be the best but they are the lightest. The ones they used to make have aluminum frames and only weigh a pound or so.

Avery power seat that's not made anymore sadly

The similar one they make now have peg legs that just sink in the ground if you not hunting concrete

The Avery had full contact legs as seen in picture comparisons

I have the millienum with the back on it. It's very well made and should last a lifetime. I carry it in certain situations where I know I'll be sitting a lot and not covering ground. I have several strut chairs too. They just seem to tear up over time

I picked up a millennium with no back. Thanks for all the ideas.

I used one of those $20.00 Sportsman's Warehouse seats last year along with the pad of my Sitka turkey tool belt. It was a darn comfy combo. The legs did sink some but I can live with it as I don't use it on every trip out

Knight Hale has a new run and gun lounger chair / seat that gives you two options how to use it ... Pretty neat chair ...

I went to a seat years ago and normally won't go without one now (but I am older than dirt, don't run and gun as much and normally setup for longer periods of time now).  They are really comfortable, allow you to setup for long periods of time and stay still longer without a root cutting off the circulation in your legs and the back rest keeps the tree bark from digging into your back.  But the best advantage is a LITTLE Power nap when things get slow.  I have a couple of the Mossy Oak chairs from Wally World and the Alps Turkey Chair that I got many years ago (at about half of what they are now).  Both have held up well and are VERY comfortable.

Ol Tom has came out we a new one that has a lumbar support built in it! Kinda heavy!

Like 10.5 lbs heavy.  Looks comfy tho.

And the new Knight and Hale chair is 7.75 lbs.  I think I'll stick to my lounger that folds, rather than the flat fold like the K&H. 

Who said carbon fiber frame?  Yes!  Someone please make it!

This chair is 7 pounds metal chair. The aluminum one I posted is 4 pounds.
Aluminum one is much lighter. wish they would do this same color etc in the lighter aluminum.
There's a bunch of the 7/8 pound chairs from different manufacturers

Alps/Browning Strutter chair is a game changer for me. Comfortable and easy to carry. I rarely go without it.

Alps Mountaineer. As mentioned by someone else, weighs only about 4 1/2 lbs, but only comes in goofy color combos that, well, I assume, are great for mountaineering, but turkey hunting, not so much. I've contacted Alps, at least twice, recommending they manufacture them in a camo model, but am politely ignored. Sure, some flat paint solves the problem, but why not just paint the frame black and put the camo cloth used on the identical Vanish chair?
