the hours you spend glassing for elk or chatting around a campfire just got a lot more comfortable. Made from high-denier, ripstop nylon, the AirCliner inflatable chair can brush against rocks and sticks without springing a leak,
and it’s easy to blow up in just a few breaths.
Outdoor concerts, sports games with stadium seating, beach days, camping and more — all occasions where I wouldn’t hesitate to bring along my Crazy Creek. And of course, picnics, where I can confirm that you’ll be the envy of all your achy-backed Crazy Creek-less friends.
The brand’s new Pack Table unfolds to provide a gloriously stable space for placing drinks, food and other items that can benefit from a bit of engineered equilibrium.
The Daily asked outdoor gear expert Cameron Martindell for his take on the most interesting products out in the market right now.
If you’re an active, outdoorsy adult with children, there’s a solid chance you spend a good amount of time as a doting spectator of youth sports..... So when you find something that helps maximize both, like the Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 Original Chair, which I dropped $65 on at my local REI store last summer, you get a bit obsessed.
Crazy Creek Products, renowned for its lightweight, innovative outdoor chairs, is set to launch its latest breakthrough: the Crazy Creek Pack Table, a compact and versatile table designed for outdoor enthusiasts. Made entirely in Montana, the Pack Table represents a commitment to local craftsmanship and quality.
I’ve officially said goodbye to my heavy, complicated pole chair.The Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 has earned its place in my pack,and from now on, it’s coming along on every trip—whether I’m headed over a pass, along a river, or up to a lakeside campsite in the Sierra Nevada. This chair is a revelation for anyone who’s ever struggled with the discomfort of sitting on rocks, logs, or the ground after a long day of hiking. It lets you truly relax without the extra weight or hassle, making the backcountry experience that much sweeter.
TheAirClinerfrom Crazy Creek Products is ideal for most camping situations. It’s hardwearing and can even double as an extra sleeping cushion for under your sleeping bag, with a shorter length stretching from shoulder to hip. Need a place to sit while taking a lunch break? The AirCliner can help. Now, how smart is that?
The AirCliner weighs almost nothing but feels like everything, especially after climbing, hiking, and grabbing onto whatever I could to save myself from slipping and sliding—yes, it was one of those trails. At just a little wider than a bike bottle, it was easy to fit the AirCliner on the\ side pocket of my foldsack. Remove the straps to lay the chair flat, and voilà it's a mini cot.
The Crazy Creek AirCliner is a comfortable camp, backpack, and general outdoor chair. It’s insulated, has a water-repellent coating, and works as a seat for two. It also makes for a great napping pad, is lighter than all my other camp furniture, and takes up little to no space. But it is Crazy Creek’s most expensive product yet, and puncturing it would render it useless. But until that happens, this chair has me impressed.

"Innovative camp chairs don't come along very often but these two new models from Crazy Creek come with some unique features that hikers might find worth the weight and price."
There’s a lot to love about this portable chair, from its simple, lightweight design that rolls up for compact storage to its adjustable straps that make dialing in your optimal reclining position a cinch. I’ve used it many times to nurse our son along the trail, and even for emergency diaper changes—simply unclip the straps to unfold the chair into a flat mat. It’s not the most comfortable of Crazy Creek’s folding chair options, but it is the most lightweight and packable, making it a winning choice for moms on the go.
The world of camp chairs has been flooded with endless spindly mesh options in recent years, but the simple and sturdy design of the Original Crazy Creek is still my favorite. Its weight, price, durability, and comfort still make it one of the best camp chairs on the market. Because of that, over the brand's 30+ years in business, Crazy Creek has developed a bit of a cult following...
Best Overall Outdoor Chair 2020
Three of our experts recommend this ultralight chair that many campers will likely have seen before. The Crazy Creek, which has been made the same way for more than 30 years, is a favorite of Ryan Fliss, the chief marketing officer of camping app The Dyrt, who told us it’s “perfect for those who value go-anywhere seating, but don’t want to commit to storage space.”
Customer Reviews
The first crazy creek I owned I had for over 10 years. These chairs hold up. The straightforward and sturdy design is reliable in all sorts of different scenarios and terrains. Crazy Creek sent a small note with the package as well that made it feel personalized. Companies that have stayed true to their quality and brand seem tough to find these days. Crazy Creek hasn’t changed since I was a teenager, it’s still a comfortable, easy to use chair that stands the test of time.
The team at Tailgating Challenge review the awesomeness of a Crazy Creek! Click Here to View!
Can't deny the awesomeness and many uses of the Crazy Creek. I keep one in my car during the summer months. In the past year alone I have used it as a seat when I wanted to be lazy on a SUP board; we hiked them up to a peak to watch the total solar eclipse; and used them for summer concerts.
I'm a big and tall guy who was seeking to purchase a portable chair for summertime concerts. I needed to find the right chair that offers both comfort and back support. After searching numerous sites and speaking with the friendly staff at Crazy Creek Customer Service, I found the perfect chair for my needs. The Crazy Creek Longback will be one of my trusted companions for the summer adventures to come. Big Thanks to the Crazy Creek Team for a great product and stellar support.
After seeing my parent's old Crazy Creeks get packed before every adventure throughout my childhood, I figured it was time to call one my own...it provides all the comfort i'll ever need for everything between concerts and camping trips...I expect to have this thing forever.
I take this everywhere. Friday night football games, camping, backpacking and even white water rafting. This chair is simple, comfortable, and good everywhere! I highly recommend and love this chair!
I use this everywhere I go. Waiting for my laundry reading a book at the Laundry Mat, waiting to climb at the crag, to keep my feet clean, a pillow (not ideal) and many other things. Not to mention all the compliments I get on the tie-die.
...Crazy Creek is the way to go if your campsite is uneven or your car is too full for the big chairs. It's lightweight enough to bring along to walk-in campsites or on a backpacking trip, and is super comfortable.
Picked on up for the lady for work, she works with sports teams and ends up sitting on bleachers all the time. Plus now I do not have to steal a friends while sitting around the campfire. You should buy one for every person in your family.
I am always the envy of the campsite when I bring this along. It makes sitting around the fire that much more awesome. My brother packs his on backpacking trips and uses it as a sleeping pad.

MY FAVORITE IS CRAZY CREEK
With all the gear out these days it is easy to be overwhelmed with technology. Whether it’s the latest, greatest, waterproof-breathable fabric. Or the newest, lightest tent etc. One piece of gear that is still a favorite is my Crazy Creek camp chair. I just ordered my third one. That’s the third one in twenty years.
I bought my first one right out of high school. It served me well for many years of campfire sitting, camping, or just hanging out on the tailgate eating lunch. It is always stored in the rig for emergencies. Such a simple design and the company is still based in Red Lodge Montana.
My second was replaced out of the Crazy Creek reps van. He came in to show new product and mentioned the lifetime warranty. One of my straps had started to separate so he said to go grab the old one and he’d give me a new one. That one saw its fair share of similar adventures but a few new twists thrown in, diaper changes, emergency sleeping pad, a kneeler for working in the garden.
Enter Crazy Creek #3. The metal stays had started to come loose on #2 when I saw the newest version, the Hexlite 2.0. Sure I could have sent my second chair in for replacement under the lifetime warranty but with such a small price I’ve gotten a lot in return from this product. So now, my newest Crazy Creek will hopefully get me through ten more years of campfires and quality times spent outdoors in high meadows and under the stars.

IT'S JUST THE TRUTH
This is the chair my daughter has with her at camp in Vermont this summer, but first it was mine. I carried this very chair with me on all the miles I hiked on the #PCT in 1995, when it doubled as both my camp chair and my sleeping pad. It was my favorite thing. I reclined in it and ate countless dinners while watching the sun set. I read books in it while gently rocking. I slept on it and dreamed and woke and began another day. In all that dreaming I never once imagined that someday I’d pass it on to my daughter. I never imagined it would last so long that it would know not only my wild stories, but hers. This isn’t an ad or a paid whatever. It’s just the truth and a bit of astonishment. Thank you, @crazycreek #staywild #keeprocking
