Our Review
Pack Size
This is the most important feature of this camping chair.
Unlike many camping chairs, the Outwell Tryfan is just 45 cm long and only weighs 1.8 kg
So, if space is a premium, this chair won't take up much of it.
Assembling
This chair goes together like many Robens chairs we've tested.
The frame consists of aluminium poles that slot together.
The aluminium frame slots together.
You then stretch the seat over the top of the frame.
Use the toggles to help stretch the seat over the frame.
Fitting the seat over the frame is the most difficult part, as you can see in our video.
Comfort
How comfortable is always subjective, but here's my point of view.
The chair is OK. It's not uncomfortable, but it's not the most comfortable.
The fabric feels like many other premium Outwell camping chairs, so it looks and feels more than a basic lightweight chair.
It's a bucket seat design and hugs you quite closely, which you may or may not like.
A good touch is the removable head pillow/cushion.
Outwell Tryfan vs Outwell Yellowstone Lake
We thought it would be a good idea to compare this chair with the very comfortable Outwell Yellowstone Lake.
Comparing the packs of the two chairs, it is clear how much smaller the Outwell Tryfan is.
It is clear how much larger the Outwell Yellowstone Lake pack is compared to the Outwell Tryfan camping chair.
The larger Outwell Yellowstone Lake is the more comfortable chair.
The other thing to note is that the Outwell Tryfan RRP is more than the Outwell Yellowstone Lake.
However, shop around. When writing, we found the Outwell Tryfan much cheaper than the RRP.
