The Tramp TRF-012 is a reclining camp chair with a three-position adjustable backrest and an armrest cup holder, built on a steel tube frame that supports up to 90 kg (198 lb). With a wide 60 x 55 cm (23.6 x 21.7 in) seat and double-layer 600D Oxford polyester, it is made for campers who want to sit upright at the table or lean back and relax by the fire from the same chair.
Hand-picked by our gear specialists for comfort-focused car camping, the TRF-012 trades ultralight ambitions for a genuinely supportive seat. At 4 kg (8.82 lb) it is meant to travel by vehicle to the campsite, folding down to 110 x 18 x 18 cm (43.3 x 7.1 x 7.1 in) so it slots easily into a trunk or gear tote for base camp, patio, and tailgate use.
Who is the Tramp TRF-012 chair made for?
This chair is for car campers, overlanders, and backyard loungers who prioritize comfort over pack weight. The reclining backrest suits anyone who wants one chair that works for eating dinner and for kicking back afterward, while the 198 lb capacity and wide seat make it a reassuring choice for larger users. It is not a backpacking chair; it is a stay-a-while base-camp seat.
What is the Tramp TRF-012 chair's frame made of?
The frame is steel tubing, 18 mm in diameter with a 0.8 mm wall, chosen for load capacity and long-term stability rather than minimal weight. The seat uses double-layer 600D Oxford polyester, a heavy denier fabric that resists abrasion and holds up to repeated seasons outdoors. Together they yield a chair rated to 90 kg that feels planted rather than flexy under weight.
How does the Tramp TRF-012 chair compare to folding stools?
Against lightweight folding stools and low sling chairs, the TRF-012 stands out for its adjustable recline, cup holder, and generous seat width. It is heavier at 4 kg, but that mass buys a sturdier frame and a more supportive sit. If you drive to your campsite and value comfort at the fire, the trade is worth it; ultralight hikers should look elsewhere.
How do you fold and maintain the Tramp TRF-012 chair?
Unfold the chair and lock the frame before sitting, then set the backrest to one of its three angles. Keep the pivot points free of grit and let the fabric dry fully before folding it into its 110 x 18 x 18 cm packed form to prevent mildew. Wipe the 600D Oxford seat with mild soap and water as needed to keep it fresh between trips.

Questions & answers
Tramp TRF-012 chair FAQ
How much weight can the chair hold?
The chair supports up to 90 kg (198 lb), thanks to its 18 mm steel tube frame. That load rating, combined with the wide 60 x 55 cm seat, makes it a stable and reassuring choice for a broad range of campers at base camp or in the backyard.
Does the backrest actually recline?
Yes, the backrest adjusts through three positions, from an upright posture for dining to a relaxed recline for lounging. That lets one chair cover both sitting at the camp table and kicking back by the fire without needing a separate lounger.
How heavy is it and does it fold?
The chair weighs 4 kg (8.82 lb) and folds down to 110 x 18 x 18 cm (43.3 x 7.1 x 7.1 in). That weight makes it best suited to car camping and base camp rather than backpacking, but it loads easily into a trunk or gear tote.
Is there a cup holder?
Yes, an integrated cup holder is built into the armrest to keep a drink secure and within reach while you relax. Combined with the wide padded seat and reclining backrest, it rounds out a chair designed for comfort-focused camping and tailgating.
