GCI Rocker Camp Chair Extended Use Review, Which One is a Complete Disappointment

We do an extended us of the GCI camp chairs reviewing the Roadtrip rocker, the Comfort Pro rocker, the Kickback rocker and the Freestyle rocker. Each rocker has their benefits but one of them is a complete disappointment. Watch the video to find out which rocker(s) held up the best and should be your next purchase.

Exactly the kind of reviews I look for. I prefer buyinb things with known longevity rather than planned obsolescence

[@chrisvoncannon8939]

Thanks for this video brother. So many different options to choose from it was hard to figure out which ones to buy but this review definitely helped.

Thank you for making a real life review on the chairs. Really showed me how they will hold up with 3 teen boys and a man child.

I throw out the bags, not worth my time to pack and unpack. Thanks for the entertaining video

Thanks for explaining the differences and showing how the chairs are going through the test of time. I'm currently looking into buying the Freestyle Rocker XL and I am wondering if it would fit me. I'm 5'9'' and about 260 pounds. Would the seat of the Freestyle be too high for me? I also kind of like to lean back on it a bit, not necessarily sit totally straight, do you think this is a good match for me? The other ones I am afraid they will break because of my weight. Appreciate your feedback! Thanks!

HA HA HA I love bags. We have 6 camp chairs bought over 25 years ago. All had bags and they still have their bags plus the little dual purpose side tables or foot stools also had their bags. These were not tiny seats like a lot of the cheap versions you find these days. We gifted at the same time 4 plus foot stools to a sister in law. Hers are still going strong too. So yes bags are lovely you can keep them clean and we have no issues in putting the chairs in or pulling out of the bags. I just bought the free style rocker on sale on QVC if you call that sale. They also charge 7.50 in shipping so not a great deal. Anyway I may make a bag myself. We live in NW MT and so these chairs are not used year round. So these are stored during cold months and that's where the bags keeping them clean when stored in garages etc. are super nice to have. So for those who like you might be throwing your chairs around in and out of campers maybe you would get tired of messing with that bag. But I'm not. And I just bought my very first RV a 22 year old Class B+ only 21' total no outside storage and little interior. I'm going to want to carry 2 of the 25 year old chairs along & probably not too often take the Freestyle we just ordered. I usually am a solo female tent camper over the past 50+ years. Hubby of 52 years is not a camper. WHAT how did that happen when he married me I had a tent set up all season up Hyalite Canyon out of Bozeman MT where I went to MSU year round. And we met caving? He's been fine with my occasional she trips and I'm grateful he loves staying home to garden and take care of the pets. How lucky can a gal be? Anyway I'm definitely a bag lady and that will include trying RV camping for the first time this year. Plan a cross country trip to feel how this old gal drives. If she's good I'm making plans for a trip to the San Juan Islands later in the summer and Alaska one way with a ferry back down next year. So my hubby and some old caving and college friends are also interested in my driving up and making arrangements for all then all three will fly in later to join. Yeah...lucky I love the camp life. And I get a kick out of everyone's individual personality reaction to camping let alone roughing it. I've managed to get the tent life down to an art but not sure about my Miss Mini Mo I think it'll take me a few attempts to nail it. I may bring a tent along just in case I miss that open feeling. PS I just cringe at your throwing your chairs around like that. I don't approve in working so hard to be so abusive to your things. I know you did it for show...but...not a fan.

PS 4 of our 25 year old camp chairs are almost like new. Two I left out side over a year on an upstairs balcony when we moved here to discover the sun and weather faded the upper more exposed material. However except for that little bit of fading they too are pretty much like new in wear. They get good use in group events like Ham Radio meetings and their camp outs. But not one of their mostly men or women abuse their own gear or ours. Nor do any of our over 50 year old and younger caving community & friends ever abuse equipment over the years. Amazing but if you were a climber or caver this strange abuse towards your gear or belongings might not be tolerated or at least the more outspoken folk would comment about it. I would think hard before lending you anything I cared about and if I still did I would not expect it to return as nice as it was before you borrowed it. The saying never a lender nor a borrower be would be sage advice around you.

Can't believe you just thro them around. Are you thst way with everything you have? Sheese your like a little kid throwing stuff around .i. find them pricy for a rocker.iv had bag chairs to last along time at a 1/3 rd of the price because i don't thro them around. You don't seem to care. Oh well to each there own.
