ABOUT CRAZY CREEK®
It all started in Red Lodge, Montana—where the mountains are big, the weather is wild, and a good chair can make all the difference. Back in 1987, we set out to make outdoor gear that actually works where you need it, how you need it. Our first invention? A chair without legs that still has your back. Crazy, right? Turns out, it’s exactly what people were looking for.
Since then, Crazy Creek® chairs have been kicked back in everywhere from Alaskan basecamps to Florida bonfires, to Australian beaches. Trusted by guides, scouts, paddlers, peak-baggers, and everyday adventurers, our gear is built to last—and built to go ANYWHERE. Because when we say “just sit there,” we mean wherever there takes you.
Our History
The most important products are those that effortlessly solve a problem, and in that our history began.
On a stormy week in the Colorado wilderness, Crazy Creek’s founder, Rob Hart, was leading a group of Outward Bound students. One night at camp he wondered why there wasn’t something better to sit on than a fallen log or tree stump… a problem in need of a solution. Using an old canoe chair as inspiration, Rob and his girlfriend Louise Chandler began working on prototypes using more modern materials. Over many months of experimentation the first Original Chair was born.
With sales soaring, in 1987 Crazy Creek® Products officially began. Industrial sewing machines and equipment started whirling at a new headquarters as the popularity of their product continued to climb and gain notoriety in the outdoor world.
As this expansion continued, new team members would join to help enhance operations and further Crazy Creek’s mission. With a passion for meticulous attention to quality materials and workmanship, sales of “The Chair” continued grow by leaps and bounds. With close attention to customer feedback and a mind toward innovation, new chairs and product designs were added to the line-up. Crazy Creek® had completely revolutionized lightweight, portable chairs for the outdoor use in all kinds of applications.
Our tagline pretty much says it all: Perfecting “Just sit there” since 1987.
What was true then, is still true today, creating comfortable outdoor products for our customers - wherever outdoor adventure takes them, from the North Pole to a local soccer game is what we are dedicated to.
Before your next hike, climb, high school football game, canoe or camping trip - perfect your own “just sit there” in a Crazy Creek® chair!
