Sizing: Original vs Longback

Find Your Perfect Sit

At Crazy Creek, we believe everyone deserves a comfortable seat, no matter where the trail leads. Our Original Chair and LongBack Chair share the same durable design, lifetime quality, and trail-tested comfort—but they’re built for slightly different needs.


Original Chair     LongBack Chair
Back Height: Standard     +4 inches taller
Seat Width:  Standard     +2 inches wider
Portability: 🏆 Ultra-packable     Still portable
Comfort: Great     🏆 Maximum
Best For: Hikers, lightweight travelers    

Tall folks, larger frames, long sits

 

The Original Chair

Sleek. Packable. Always Ready.
The Original is the one that started it all—our classic, go-anywhere seat. It’s lightweight, compact, and perfect for hiking, paddling, festivals, and more. If portability is your priority and you like to travel light, this is your chair.

  • Best for: Everyday adventures, backpackers, smaller frames
  • Easy to carry, easy to stash
  • Our most transportable option

The LongBack Chair

Spacious. Supportive. Built for Big Comfort.
The LongBack offers the same rock-solid design, but with a little extra room to stretch out. It’s 4 inches taller and 2 inches wider than the Original, making it ideal for folks over 6'1", over 250 lbs, or just anyone who wants a bit more back and seat support.

  • Best for: Taller or larger folks, extended lounging, maximum comfort
  • Great for car camping, outdoor concerts, or anywhere you’re hanging out for a while
  • Slightly bigger footprint—but still folds flat and travels well

Still not sure? Ask yourself:

  1. Are you chasing ultra-packability? Go Original.
  2. Need a little more room to lounge? Go LongBack.

Either way, you’re getting trail-tested comfort backed by our Trail Tested Guarantee.
