Sure worth a try for that price.  I need a backup.

I ordered one earlier today. For that price it is certainly worth a shot. Looks just like the Gobbler Lounger to me.

Pretty good product. Me and the wife have used them for over a year now only complaint is the straps don't stay on very well.

I don't know about knock off....looks just like it except for the material on the seat....everything else looks the same!

So of course I ordered one!  Thanks for posting this....I need more turkey hunting stuff like I need a hole in the head!  Really thanks though!!

I picked one up last year. I think they were more like $20 in the store. As far as I can tell it's made exactly the same as the Cabelas chair, probably made in the same factory. I may have to get one or two more at that price.

I wonder if there are any weight differences but at that price I could use a couple.

I bought one from Cabela's a few years back for $20.00. But at this price I bought this one for my son.

Only issue with mine last Spring was it makes a ton of noise when shifting ariund to get gun in position. I do weigh a 5th grader more than 225 though?

I have 3...yes 3 !!!   only problem I have is the strap...they are cheap and will pull from the chair.
I used an old backpack strap and modified it. This strap works better than original !!!!   :smiley-char092:

Bought one of these last year, only complaint I have is the carrying strap broke. But I can live with that for the price

I got one from Bass Pro last year and it is awesome, the only problem is the stupid carry strap and the weight.  Gonna have to order the wal mart version for a back up.

I ended up ordering two of these, picked them up from the store today. They've made a few minor changes since last year. Instead of the smooth black metal frame, the frame now has a textured metal finish. The low points are still black, but the raised points are a steel grey. I don't think it's really a problem, but it would have been better if they just left it black. Also, the arm rest padding is now a solid olive green instead of being camo. On the seat the camo is now just on the left and right side, it no longer runs across the top of the back and front of the seat. The fabric on my two new ones is stretched much tighter also, although that may just be because they are new, I can't remember if my other one started that way. None of the changes are improvements and they should have just left it alone, but they also aren't deal breakers and it's still a good chair.

As stated above the straps are the biggest weakness, they really suck. I tried one of the lounger bags and didn't really care for it myself. I ended up putting a Claw Sling on mine and it carries great now.
