Differently Different! OneTigris Tigerblade Camping Chair Review

[@alvindsv]

I saw a video from Onetigris on this chair, and they used it in a way that prompted me to buy it, which I like. The legs will strap to the sides of the frame and you can sit in the chair with just the frame on the ground. This has you only a few inches off the ground. I used this setup in my Nemo Aurora 3 person tent to give me a chair to sit in while in my tent. Just an extra use for the chair.

[@AABrock]

Ah, that’s a great idea. I have the previous highback version which has worked great, but the ability to use it on the ground or flat surface really upset the game.

[@obiwanjacobi]

I find it easier to get the seat/fabric on when you start with the short poles. Then you have the long poles to flex and put into place and you don't need to pull at the fabric so much. [2c]

[@jwhitty14]

Ran to Amazon and bought 2 of these chairs to replace my aging Walmart specials that are nearing the end of life. I got the black at the very reasonable price of $39. Thanks for the in-depth review Luke.

[@jamesnewman4474]

The one thing I hardly ever see addressed on camp chairs is the ease of getting up out of the chair. This is an important point for seniors. At 72 I’ve come to rely on a cane or staff to help me up. If either becomes unavailable it’s real difficult to get up. Some of the chairs, but very few, have the sides firm enough to help support the lift. I’ll try this chair based on the trust I have in all of Luke’s reviews.

[@magi267]

Good comment, I needed new living room furniture and would go from store to store and just glance around and say "no" nothing high enough for me...67 years old and have arthritis. It took a few stores before I found my couch, chair and recliner. I couldn't get out of that chair. If I was camping I'd need a dining room chair. Car camping

[@MrChaes]

Gotta get your nose above your toes. Otherwise you’re stuck.

[@Kevimoto]

I have a Onetigris chair. It's rated for about 330 lbs. It's perfect for fatsos like myself. I've had it for two years now. It's not identical to this one, but it's very stable and comfortable. On soft ground, I put tennis balls on the feet. Great chair. 👌

[@TheFivepoint1994]

I have had the original Onetigris chair for a couple of years now and I love it! It is surprisingly comfortable and very durable. Putting the seat onto the frame is the one, albeit minor, complaint I have. I learned that putting the back on last is easier due to the additional flex of the longer poles but it's still a challenge. As soon as I saw this I ordered the new version, now I'll have two super comfy chairs for the beach, ballgames or whatever, one of which will be a cinch to set up. Thanks for the great video.

[@mazdamaniac4643]

Can confirm, I also have this chair. It's easily the best camping chair I've ever owned, to this day it has not let me down or faulted in any way. My Dad actually thought it was a military-grade piece of kit because it made his GoOutdoors cheapy special look like an uncomfortable piece of bendy crap 😂 Like all Dad's, he almost had a heart attack when I told him the price of it...but then again...I figure that it's going to last many years to come, so worth it.

[@xanperia]

I got my chair and I've got to say this - it's damn comfortable! I was worried about the flipping over problem, but thankfully, there is no problem for me. It would take some real effort for me to flip over with this chair. Phew!

[@olpepaw4747]

I bought this chair after TOGR's review...my first camp chair...I love it! And I solved the problem of the little feet sinking in soft ground...with furniture sliders! The little coaster looking disks that you use to slide heavy furniture around on floors...just put them under the legs and bingo! No sinking!

[@huds5005]

Great review as always. For me, if it's a camp chair that will never go in my pack, I'll stick with the full-size type of folding chairs.

[@marko9912]

I have an older version One Tigris, and as you say in the end the feet did cause a problem, where 2 of the feet were lost in mud that pulled them off. I bought a pack of Robens Soft Ground Feet that fit perfectly over the One Tigris feet and will stay on there with no movement. For the two I lost I just wrapped some duct tape around the bottom of the legs until there was enough to hold the Robens in place, works fine. (Tape thick enough for feet to hold on when placed over it) I'm sure they will bring out more colour options soon. I have the Real Camo, love it. Definitely recommend people buy this chair, but you will need to buy some shoes for it separately.

[@midnightcrywithkate]

I have two of the old style One Tigris chairs. As an avid kayaker, it is a must to have for relaxation on the beach.

[@duesouth180]

Ordered this Tigerblade on Luke's sayso a month ago. Sitting in it right now. 6' 2" 200 lbs. Bad knees. Very comfortable chair. Easy to assemble. Can even be used with the 4 legs folded away. Bought for kayak camping. Sitting on logs, rocks or sand is fun and all but I like this chair.

[@GarySimpson-ku5sf]

Hi Luke Great review got this chair had no problem I fitted ball feel so it doesn’t sink into the ground I always listen to you before I buy any camping equipment had no problems up to now thanks again my friend hope you and susie are doing well hope to see you both on KZbin really enjoy you adventures take care my friend Gary liverpool

[@micheleobrien64]

Love your reviews! They always tell me what I need to know. Thank you!❤

[@DoritosResidue]

I have 4 helinox chairs and I love them. I recommend chairs like this even if it's not helinox. The light weight and space saving, you realize how much precious real-estate packing space in your car you are saving.

[@Green__one]

Thing is, this looks like it's just a bigger, heavier, more complicated, and likely more expensive version of the same thing. I'll take any of the other cheap knockoffs instead thanks.

[@67L48]

Cool chair, but I don't know what it's for. 3 lbs and bulky means it's not a backpacking chair. So, if it's only real utility is as a car camping chair, then I'm going to go with a standard camping chair that is much heavier, sturdier, and comfortable. Maybe as something to keep in the car just in case you wind up someplace where you need a chair unexpectedly.

[@MrLangDog]

Arm injuries, weak muscles?

[@Green__one]

@@MrLangDog In which case you do NOT want this chair as it's low to the ground and requires pushing with arms to get up out of. If you're weak you need a full size chair.

[@williamirelan9332]

I have the old version of the high back Onetigris chair ,the trick to setting up the chair is to put the last support into the chair fabric before the hub on the frame. Just make sure it is seated all the way down before sitting.

[@michellereed5638]

Luke, hey, thanks alot! This was super helpful! I did not take my Naturehike chair down after my DAD managed to put it together for me! I was afraid I could NOT put it back together! I love this chair. NOW my sister has been sitting in it, in our living room! She really likes my camp chair and wants one of her own! So now I have a decision to make, get her a Naturehike like mine, or get her a Onetigris! I do however like the anti-sink feet on the Naturehike. Given our soil here in Oregon, being so rainy a lot, our ground needs the kind of feet that are on the naturehike chair--soooo--we just might wind up with a living room full of camp chairs to sit on. LOL WE are very informal around here. Thanks so much Luke. I will be sure to tell others at my church--there is a solution. A different chair! YOU are awesome! BE well, stay safe! Blessings from Gresham Oregon, Michelle Reed

[@Im_With_Stupid]

It's just a generic rebrand, not an exclusive OT product. Search around the usual online retailer and you'll find this exact chair with wide feet pads and the same price, just with a different color seat and name printed on it.

[@Cee-Czar]

I’m 6’4 and it’s pretty comfortable. No issues for me.

[@MannyWC]

I have an old version (x2y). Still going strong and no problem with attaching the seat to the frame. 🎉

[@iAmCarlton]

I love this chair. Not for backpacking but the most comfortable and sturdy i have had with them all.

[@stogesmcgee3251]

I love these small folding chairs I got one when I was driving across the country in my car and was worried about space. I thought I was compromising comfort for size and that certainly was not the case

[@catjen0420]

Really good chair!! Little heavy, yes but comfort is awesome. Plus Amazon has it in black as well

[@Silverback_GMT410]

I’ve had this chair for a couple weeks already and I was surprised at how bulky it was compared to the original I have. That was a bit disappointing but I still enjoy it. Did not realize you needed to install the fabric before locking the seat, thanks for that! Also I got a random Amazon discount which made me jump on this.

[@heffe2001]

The frame is the exact same one from Moon Lence, even down to the placement of the fasteners that whole the frame together. Only difference is the actual seat has more mesh than the Tigerblade. Looks like the Tigerblade comes in 2 colors (coyote and black), where the Moon Lence comes in 8 different colors. Weight is also just a tad lower at 2.7 pounds. There's about six dollar price difference between the two.

[@soggybottomadventureriders8568]

Assembly is much easier on all of these chairs if you install the cloth on the short poles first. The long poles will flex into place.

[@CAVCOP]

The new side pockets are neat. The extra side folds allow them to be used vs flat side that you can’t put things in when seated.

[@umaiar]

I swear I basically have this same chair, I bought it a year ago branded as Canway. There are two differences; The Canway has adjustable legs, this has side pockets. I'd bet the price of the chair that the fabric part is interchangable. Good news, it was the same price, and can handle my large frame (6'5" @ 295). The adjustable legs are awesome for the older crowd though, it's easier to get up with shorter front legs.

[@austinconklin08]

Have an older version of the OT chair, wanna say 2 or 3 iterations older from 2 or 3 years ago and for the price couldn't beat it. Bought a second one shortly after and it lives in my saddlebag on my adv bike for trips. Liking this one and may have to grab one for the car

[@phasmata3813]

Just another Amazon shovelware product that gets multible different brands printed on it before getting shipped out. It's solving a "problem" that doesn't exist. Even if a backpacking chair is a little tough to set up once, it'll only ever be the one time assuming you sit in it and stretch it out. I can put my Alite chair together with two fingers and no struggle. By trying to solve this "problem" they've made a backpacking chair that is too bulky and too heavy for backpacking, so if only car campers are going to use this...they won't and shouldn't because car camping will allow you to use larger, more comfortable options. I'd love to see Nemo's latest chair reviewed, but TOGR seems to be more and more fixated on Amazon/Temu-outfitted car camping every week.

[@jean-phil]

well, Nemo is like triple the price and I'm not going to use these chairs that much so I would probably be better with an Amazon/Temu one

[@phasmata3813]

@@jean-phil I didn't mean to imply that I think it is Nemo or nothing. There are inexpensive choices without constantly skimming unethical retailers like Amazon and Temu.

[@jean-phil]

@@phasmata3813 unethical retailers ? Amazon has 40% market share in North America, pretty much all brands sell on Amazon .. even if Amazon was evil, clearly most people don't care. Most retailers offer low salaries except Costco so I dont really see the issue. Between driving to the store or having it shipped, same thing.

[@kevinsmith7287]

Because of my knees I've always had a problem with the height of camping chairs, this one looks like it would be better for me personally.

[@shepherd3716]

The front lip of the chair is "fourteen and two-quarters off the ground" Nice. Will they be designing one that is fourteen and a half inches off the ground? ; )

[@The-Adventures-Awaits]

Luke, thank you for the review! I’m always looking forward to your reviews, especially when I’m getting ready to upgrade and/or add to my camping/hiking gear collection/equipment etc! The information you provide on these reviews are (in my opinion) AWESOME! Also wanted to say, glad you’re doing well after your sting bite, glad everything turned out ok! Hope to see your wife again out with ya soon!😊

[@codyd7524]

I prefer the crazy creek chair. It has no breakable "frame" parts, and I can also use it as my sleeping pad.

[@leekrieger9697]

Your reviews are so informative and practical. (pro quality editing and AV, too!)

[@Tecsson_TSH]

Pretty happy with that chair but the locking mechanism won’t lock most of time. Then I took feet’s from trekking poles and now it’s possible to sit on soft ground.in grass the original sinks down. So with more reliable center locking and changeable feet’s I would give this 10 of 10

[@Valorikx221]

Put the bag handles through the front legs, one on each side then put the seat on. It acts like a storage pocket. That’s what I do at least. It suspends it.

[@samhill3496]

Good review. Would work for me I think. My knee replacement comes into pay. Nothing to low. Like color and generous bag. I can live with the weight and certainly the price. All good

[@heffe2001]

That chair frame looks EXACTLY like one I picked up from an Amazon auction from MoonLence. Down to where the screws are located that hold it together, and the release button for the center support. The only difference I see is the seat webbing & color. Mine has MUCH more mesh on the sides, and full mesh back, where the Onetigris has more fabric. Looks like the Tigerblade comes in the coyote and black, where mine's green. You can still get them on Amazon, but they aren't much less than the one above (33.98 vs 39.98).

[@caroldrake1208]

Thank you Luke I appreciate it I need a chair for fishing. Take care stay safe and God bless.

Hello, I've been watching your channel for quite a while. I'm honestly not sure if I've just missed that you put music and a good ending credit type thing. But I really like it.

[@Redskies453]

Require a lot of strength to put the seat on the poles? I have never put on a pack, hiked several miles, climbed a hill, put together my chair and thought.. yeah, that last bit was tough.

[@Green__one]

But haven't you ever wished that the chair was heavier and took up more room in your pack? Or that you paid extra for it?

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

That's a pretty interesting chair! But I kind of like my Naturehike chair. I just want to get some of those ball feet for it.

[@HeckyeaVids]

Cool, another camping chair that looks and packs exactly like every other camping chair. I’m glad these companies are starting to get creative

[@Green__one]

No, this one has a bunch of differentiation in the market! To start with it packs up larger, and it's heavier, and more complicated, and don't forget more expensive! See, so much better!

[@joeg.3228]

Not a fan of one Tigris for the exact reason you stated. Their products come and go fast and often. But this chair looks cool. The ease of putting on the seat is a plus for sure. Thanks Luke. It’s on my shopping list.

[@tonywatson5636]

Love your channel. Never miss a video! Could you please include in your gear review where the product is manufactured thank you.

[@hypo345]

Great chair to set up if one has arthritis of the wrists, pulling the seat fabric onto the dram can be a right pain, literally.

[@markperry222]

I would be interested to see how much faster the set up speed is between this one and the Naturehike chair. Also the packing away time as the carry case on the OneTigris looks like it will be an easy task to pack away.

[@janetburrows137]

Yes I have bought chairs that that last bloody leg (sorry for that ), it's so flipping stiff when knew,, why, is it so flipping hard, to set.

Do people really have a hard time with the typical backpacking chairs? I get it if you are in the market for a new chair you would consider this... But I don't find it such an issue with my typical chair to put the fabric over the frame. Give me the lighter weight over this slight benefit.

[@TheDecoyDude]

I don’t understand why people struggle putting the helinox 1 together. I personally find it very easy and less to fiddle with then this. Granted they are expensive but I like high quality products over Chinese knock offs.

[@Green__one]

If you want cheaper, the chinese knock offs are every bit as good as the helinox, and cheaper too. Compared to the tigerblade they are also lighter and smaller (as is the helinox)

I bought this on Amazon for my son. I thought it as buying the same model I bought my wife and myself. Didn't realize it was the brand new model. I found the chair to be pretty stable. It is hard to get back in the bag. I bought the same ground matts I bought for my onetigris chair but they don't fit this chair. Different footprint. All in all still a nice chair.

[@PapajosTraders]

The problem with these chairs is they sink out of sight in soft ground! That needs to be addressed, I actually installed bigger end caps on one of my chairs to help with this issue.

Something you can do if you also pack lightweight camp shoes is put the back legs in your boots.

Gorgeous bit of tackle.Happy with my helinox but their prices are outrageous lately and l would've opted for the Tigris had it been around at the time.Did i imagine it or did you show a brief clip of what looked like rubber dog toy-balls on the chairs feet ? This is what l did for the Helinox not being willing to spunk 40+ quid on their own brand of stabiliser feet and it works a treat. 5 quid for four rubber toy balls from a pet shop.

I want to put in a request for a review of the Appollo Air sleeping pad. It sells for about 100 dollars on Amazon, listed as 5.2 r insulation, and weights about 1 pound. Most of th reviews on Amazon are good.

[@Im_With_Stupid]

That's junk with no independent R value rating which means they're lying. The thing even has a significantly smaller pack size and weight than top of the line brand pads using lighter weight materials and having a lower R value, while using some kind of mysterious "E-Last fabric coating" to achieve it's 5.2R claimed rating. It's all lies and Amazon reviews are about as trustworthy as your average politician. There is no miracle fabric coating that can achieve the numbers they're boasting. We know this because if there was it wouldn't be found on some sketchy budget brand for $100. It would be coming from a name brand, from a companies that actually invests in R&D to bring new technology and designs to market, and selling for a mint.
