Mountainsmith Slingback Ultralight Chair Review + Klymit V Seat

I bought myself the Mountainsmith slingback chair which is a crazy ultralight 130 grams! Paired with the Klymit V seat at 74 grams it makes a super comfy reclining chair for camping adventures at less than 200 grams total. The slingback makes use of your trekking poles or you could cut alpenstock at camp instead. This should be a great bit of gear for backpacking or thru-hikes.

Brilliant bit of kit. I have a dodgy back so stooping over anything can be a pain. Abit of a game changer for me. Cheers good little review.

[@MrWildWales]

Nice one it's a great little lightweight chair 👌

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

That's a ridiculously simple but brilliant idea 👍😊

[@jamesoutdoors.6450]

Genius invention.

[@TeaInValhalla]

Morning Adam! What a little beauty and of you already have the poles, winning 🏆👍 You nailed it too, I was thinking this isn't going to work! I'm sure it would take Kat with ease, I have my doubts about it hold me tho lol! Or if I'd bend the poles 🤭😳 Now the inflated back rest was super cool too! Thanks Adam 🥰 Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭

[@MrWildWales]

You'd be surprised I think it would be fine for anybody! A pretty cool design for hikers who want a relax half way through 👌 cheers

[@hikingmule]

I had never seen that before. Thanks for the review!

[@MrWildWales]

Thanks for checking it out 😊!

[@willisblevins3759]

Nice show thanks

[@Camp-N-Wilddragon]

Cool I was looking at these ages ago, almost did buy it but thought I don't use trekking poles lol. Its a brilliant idea though. If I do ever decide to get the trekking poles in use, I might consider one at some point. Great review adam

[@MrWildWales]

Once you try trekking poles it's hard to go back especially for long distance! Cheers

[@darrell_do_nice5653]

Definitely getting one 👌

[@MrWildWales]

Class! Hope you like it

[@northernswedenstories1028]

I love this design. My only issue is that the times I like chilling in a chair are almost always when ive set up camp, and then I use hiking poles for my tent. So I'd need to carry extra poles to use it..

[@MrWildWales]

Yeah that's true its only good before you set you tent up. I've ended up not taking it quite a lot. I suppose you could pull the poles out of the tent when you're using it

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Was looking at those a while back. Clever design. Valley and Peak show thenpics with the seat pad on the top though. Odd they didnt put a pouch in the top to hold it there. 👍

[@MrWildWales]

I think the pad would slip off the top straight away there unless I modded it. I think I'll just use a foam sit mat under it

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@@MrWildWales sounds better idea. Everyone's got a foam sit pad 😂

[@R33CO]

I love the idea Mate. I agree with you for a few grams more they could have designed the klymir v seat to sit on top and not underneath, as its going to get punctured. Also I would also like to see it a little wider. ATB Reeco

[@MrWildWales]

Would have made more sense I think! Cheers

[@stevenaustin2860]

i bet you don,t know what im thinking adam lol no i luv the seat thou and it weighs nothing. hey isn,t it great when you got all that countryside on your doorstep you can just pop out for a hour for a brew in the woods haha luv your video,s mate they cheer me up great video mate can,t wait till you go out again

[@MrWildWales]

Not a bad thing is it and yeah I'm lucky enough to live close by to lots of wilderness 👍

[@stevenaustin2860]

I'm the same mate got lovely Lancashire countryside just 50 yards from my doorstep. No Adam since I got into wild camping you have been very helpful and professional mate and helped me out alot mate so thanx again mate honest and I wish you and your family all the best for the future adam mate

[@northernimagesphotography]

That looks a good idea, only thing is I’m buggered once I’ve used my poles to put the tent up 😂 If I’m out on a day hike I’d just use my foam sit pad. The sea to summit air chair or thermarest trekker chair that turn your air mat into a chair might be better options for similar money.

[@MrWildWales]

That's true good point 👍 I think it's definitely worth having a back rest if you can though

[@DevelenTsai]

I think you can tie a poncho to the trekking poles to do the same thing 😊

[@MrWildWales]

😀🤟

[@DevelenTsai]

​@@MrWildWalesI use this on the Helinox style chair for the head and back support, you can try it, it's very comfy!😊

[@KernowCamps]

This feels at first like an April Fools but at the same time like a genius idea!

[@MrWildWales]

It seems like it shouldn't work but it's great!

[@dazbass007]

neat little bit of kit im the same as northern images my tent uses my trekking poles do you think it would work with some chopped down tent poles ?

[@MrWildWales]

Depends how strong the pole is. I think you'd be better off with chopping a couple of sticks to size

[@Jonsoh811]

I’m looking for a chair and this might do the trick, but I don’t own trekking poles. What length/diameter should the poles/sticks be to work? You could then make it a tripod for more stability if need be. (Even DIY the fabric for extra width if need be) How do you experience the width? And the fact that you’re on/close to the ground? Could you put your pack beneath it for added height?

[@MrWildWales]

Hmm I'm not sure you could try some sticks and chop them down if too large. It's pretty stable with 2 surprisingly. I did use it the other night and the ground got saturated and I started getting a damp

[@BoshOutdoors]

What's the cold bum factor like?

[@MrWildWales]

I couldn't feel it in 20 mins I think I'd put a sit mat underneath it for night time

[@purechaos7188]

Just looking at the thumb bit - a bin bags cheaper and just as comfy - lighter and you can put stuff in it - watching now but have no hope for it 😂☮️👍 hope y well

[@MrWildWales]

A bin bag 😂😂😂

[@purechaos7188]

Love y keep em coming 😂☮️

[@STTC]

Hummmm great review but I don’t think it’s a winner Adam,,,you need to be off the floor for me to call it a chair,,, great review though, good video cheers

[@MrWildWales]

Fair enough cheers!

[@Trevelyon006]

Yet again, I'd the design was integrated into a backpack with a small frame then you'd be carrying it with you regardless 😎

[@MrWildWales]

I think that's got to be done!

[@northernswedenstories1028]

It's been done before. I forget who it was but pretty sure it was a UK designer. The backpack had two sockets on the front of the pack for hiking pole to slot into, then you just leaned against your pack

[@southbucksbushcraft6572]

Nice system that mate. But my ass wouldnt fit on that id end up with-a cheek each side of it hahaha

[@MrWildWales]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mediocreman561]

That is an old American Indian trick.

[@MrWildWales]

Is it? I guess they would have used a skin or something?

[@mediocreman561]

@@MrWildWales Yes. It was a leather type.

[@ostelot1biondi800]

Nice little chair.. £40 for a piece of material though... checking Amazon for a cheaper knockoff!!

[@MrWildWales]

Not cheap no! I think that was for the two items though

[@daniellyne1]

I'd never get up from there, more importantly what was you eating looked like mac and cheese

[@MrWildWales]

It was chicken curry with rice and potatoes 👌

[@daniellyne1]

@@MrWildWales nice 👌

[@calihiker7980]

The thermarest zseat May work better with the mtsmith than the klymit

I'll take a look at that one 👌
