What does is say about swaggers that they're rating chairs by the number and size of the drink holders :)

We love our Oztent King Goanna chairs too but the drink holders on ours are useless.  Unless the drink is empty you'd lose most is it on the ground as they tip.  Not sure of the newer chairs are the same.  We use a small folding aluminum stool between our chairs. Plenty of room for drinks and snacks.

Found  solution for dodgy stubbie holders on chair. You need to put a 500ml drink bottle with a long hose to your mouth. leaves hands free and always very full of alcohol  ;D

Work out if you want the soft arm Goanna or the hard arm Kokoda. I have one of both, but I use the Kokoda.

Which one do you find most comfortable Lost. Is the Kokoda easy to pack up? I need a new chair also and I have found in the past the solid arm one can be a PITA to pack up. I like the look of these though.

Wayne, got mine from RV Superstore in Ferntree Gully. They have all the chairs there, and a heap of ther oztent products. Paid retail, $90 from memory, but I was in there getting some other stuff, tried one and walked out with it! If you do go there, I guarantee you'll walk about with more than what you intended.  ;D ;D


Thats what I am afraid of. Got to pick up young fella at The Basin next week, might check it out.

We've got a couple of reclining 'Wanderer' chairs from BCF.  We use them on the veranda as well as camping.  Very comfy but no drink holders at all.  This isn't really a problem for me as I have 2 very functional ones on the ends of my arms.  Don't put your drink down and it's not an issue. ;D :cheers:

I think the Kokoda (hard arm one) is easier to pack.. it folds on itself sorta.. and the arms clip to the legs.

Both pack up the same overall size.

adn the hard arm is 1023094580293854023984098% easier to get out of after a few bottles....

We have had a couple of the King Kokodas for 3 years... pack up nicely in their bags and store neatly in the rack in the back of the Paj..they do have a lumbar strap as well  ...needed to put some Teflon dry lube on the sliding bits from time to time to help my partner fold them up ..would definitely buy them again

cheers

Kokoda hard arms. Drink holder is no issue, she stands next to the chair just fine. She complains when it is cold and she is holding a cold drink though. Ear plugs fix that.
 reality - we use a fold up table between chairs for drinks and dip anyway.

Rhino roof racks now sell a hard arm chair, that is exactly the same as the Oztent one. Except its branded Rhino and sells for $89-.
