Best chair

Dakota02 · 07-24-2012, 04:53 PM

Looking for a lite weight chair to take in and out of mid size pickup truck, I've never used this kind of chair or driven my truck since sci. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

any of the TiLite chairs are good. can you stand? what level? what function do you have? these pieces of info would help us help you. i have a TiLite Aero R and love it i right now have it just the way i want it although it has taken 6 months to get it there. when was your accident? if you fill out your profile we are more able to help

I have a TiLite ZR and I can put it into my truck easily. I had the jump seats taken out and it fits right behind my seat.

What chair are you using now? I suggest your first ultralight be adjustable so you can tune it in.

with any ultralitht cantilever chair you could do that and with a box frame too, same as mine.

Lasher Sport makes a Magnesium frame chair thats nice and lightweight.

The best chair depends on your needs as well as things like price range/insurance coverage. I got the best chair for me, but plenty on this forum have been vocal about disliking the company or model I went with.

Are a lot of good brands out there, the most important thing is that the chair fit to you perfect and you feel confortable in it.
