Camp chair luxury: The Vango Radiate Tall Chair
Whether you’re sitting outside a tent or in your garden, outdoor furniture enhances the experience. It seems we’ve all become more luxury-prone than in previous decades.
Think back to the early to mid-20th Century and the pictures of holidaymakers sitting on rows and rows of wooden rented deckchairs on UK beaches, alongside families claiming their spot on picnic blankets. These were the main sources of outdoor comfort at the time. The average family didn’t have garden or camping furniture in sheds and garages for use as and when required.
After many years of fashionable outdoor seating in the form of wrought iron or wooden chairs and tables, by the 1970s basic upright metal chairs and matching tables in different colours and patterns were increasingly seen in gardens across the UK.
As more people came to understand the value in garden and camping furniture, so the designs became more innovative. Reclining deckchairs were an instant hit, as were ‘glamping’ furniture items such as cupboards, storage, wardrobes, camp beds and clothes dryers.
Now in the 2020s, the demand for luxury has inspired the design of furniture for campers and garden dwellers who want the comforts of home in outdoor spaces.
At BCH Camping, we understand that luxury furniture can be a welcome compromise for families conflicted on the joys of camping. While some family members are keen to be at one with the outdoors and don’t care what they’re sitting on to do it, others are more reticent about a camping experience but having luxurious seating will make them willing to at least give it a go. Yes, comfortable camping furniture can be the luxury icing on the camping cake.
Vango continues to build on its reputation as a major innovator in camping equipment and furniture. The award winning Radiate range of products is one of the company’s more recent innovations to receive industry acknowledgement. Here we’ll feature the Vango Radiate Tall Chair.
What’s so special about this chair? The clue is in the title.
The Vango Radiate Tall Chair is heated for maximum comfort with four heat settings. This can be very welcome when sitting in the garden or at a campsite on cooler evenings, making you feel comfortable enough to want to stay outside for longer.
There is also a health benefit to sitting with your back against a heated chair, particularly if you’ve been walking all day or taking part in strenuous outdoor pursuits. The heat boosts circulation which allows nutrients and oxygen to travel to the joints and muscles.
The heating element is best suited to power banks with an output of 5V/2.1A. The touch button heat controller to the right of the chair provides easy access to the four different heat settings.
With taller and wider measurements and a maximum load of 180kg, this chair is ideal for larger people.
