from FIELD RECORD , a Shizuoka outdoor brand that delivers unique and practical outdoor equipment, with unique concepts that will never come from mainstream outdoor ideas, derived from product designs such as interior and everyday goods
The ultra-lightweight folding chair " FR-chair carbon triangle (high / low) " with three carbon poles on the frame makes it surprisingly lightweight and compact, allowing you to carry your chair anywhere you like, and spend your special time comfortably.
The use of compact outdoor chairs will continue to increase, not only at camping and festivals, but also at chairs and outdoors at home, which have suddenly become popular due to the spread of COVID-19. On the contrary, I think it has the potential to become a new style for hikers and climbers who have previously thought "to bring a chair is a luxury!"
We have actually tried out the latest chairs that are worthy of attention for all outdoor enthusiasts, from casual campers to serious climbers, so we'll give you a quick review.

Despite being top-class lightweight and compact, excellent load capacity
This new camping chair is available in two sizes: a 44cm high model and a 25cm low model. The structure is the same except for the seat height (=weight).
In any case, when talking about this chair, the first thing you can do is touch not to touch on the weight.
If you take a rough look at each part, in addition to the three carbon poles, the connecting parts and seat materials are thoroughly designed to reduce weight. When I checked the weight excluding the storage bag, I found that the LOW model was just over 300g and the HIGH model was just over 350g. It's much lighter than a plastic bottle.
Of course, there are not many lighter camping chairs out there. What's surprising is that it is the lightest class, yet it has a reliable robustness of 100kg. In order to achieve a high quality balance that combines the brand's concept of lightweightness and durability, we are committed to producing it within Japan, and we do not slacking off on the comfort of sitting due to its lightness. This shows the creator's spirit and commitment.
The storage size is so high that when placed in the included stuff sack, the longer side of the plastic bottle pops out (34cm long side for the HIGH model).
The carbon pole on the frame is foldable, so the height is not protruding to the point of concern, and it is large enough to store it in a day-home daypack.
Simple design that can be assembled simply by tightening the belt
The assembly method is very simple. The three frames are glued on both ends in advance, so there's no need to worry about stabing them. First, without thinking about anything, stretch each folded carbon frame.
When you stretch out the carbon frame, they naturally cross and become shaped like a drum, so all you have to do is tighten the three belts around it. Of course, this tightening operation requires some force. Since it is made up of carefully selected parts, it can't be helped that it has a certain level of analog feel.
When the three points are tightened firmly on average, the carbon frame should be exactly overlapping (supporting) each other around the joint.
Both ends (top and bottom) of the frame are covered with a soft, durable, triangular Cordura nylon fabric, with the larger area facing the seat.
Assembly completed. Once this happens, all you have to do is sit down.
The HIGH model has a seat height of 44cm, which is as spacious as a small bench. On the other hand, the LOW model is 25cm, which may be a bit tough for long periods of time (especially those with poor backs), but if you want it to be light enough, it can be quite acceptable.
The exquisite cushioning made from carbon and fabric makes it comfortable
When I sat there, I felt a momentary sense of unease about the natural "flexibility" of the carbon frame and the nylon material at the connection, but after using it in various ways, I realized that it didn't break, and that it was a characteristic of the material. On the other hand, this small cushion seems to be comfortable to sit on, which is not found in aluminum or other materials.
Unfortunately, since it is the lightest outdoor chair, the comfort of the backrest and the stability of the four legs is not enough. Of course, a larger triangular seat would be better if it were a better option, but overall I think this class is more than sufficient stability and comfort.
This is what it looks like when you sit on the LOW model. Depending on your preference, although the seating comfort is more cramped than HIGH, the feel around the seat is also good.
A detailed and detailed extra ease of use
In both models, each vertex (6 locations) of the seat has loops that allow various items such as staff bags to be hanged. I don't think anyone wants more than portable and assembled compact chairs than comfort, but what's more special about them is that they pursue ease of use in even more detail.
In addition to stuff sacks, you can hang a lot of caps and trekking gloves. Recommended for clumsy people who tend to lose things.
Summary: This is a pair of shoes that we would like to teach those who are particular about their lightness and comfort, who don't want to compromise on their comfort.
It is an ultra-lightweight outdoor chair that is lightweight and simple, yet has excellent load capacity and comfort in its class. Assembly is not necessary, so anyone will most likely not be confused. With this, mountain climbing, which was obviously tough and inconvenient, will be a little more comfortable, and you can enjoy a luxurious experience that you have never seen before when taking a break in a comfortable place or cooking at a tent. Of course, when you need a small chair at camps or festivals, you will be able to carry it around more easily than ever before.
FR-chair carbon that uses trekking poles as frames , but since this is intended for people who use trekking poles, users have been limited to hikers and others. On the other hand, the FR-chair carbon triangle has an integrated frame design, making it easy for anyone to use the chair anywhere, with a single unit, allowing a wider range of people to experience its lightness and ease of use.
A compact chair that expresses maximum practicality with a minimalist configuration thanks to its minimal design, which seems to have featured in its shape, is by no means a limited number of people. It will surely meet a variety of situations and purposes for many people.
