Product Information

Full details

The Ridgemonkey Alta High Back Camping Chair is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and anglers who prioritize ergonomics and relaxation during long sessions in the field. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-back support and a modular leg system, providing stability on almost any terrain. A key caveat to note is that while it is highly adjustable, the extensive features and robust frame mean it is bulkier than ultralight hiking chairs, making it better suited for base camps and static setups rather than long-distance trekking.

FAQs

Can I use this chair on sand?

Yes, the self-levelling mud feet are specifically designed to provide a wider surface area to prevent sinking in soft ground like sand or mud.

Is the chair cover machine washable?

It is recommended to spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth rather than putting it through a washing machine to maintain the water-resistant coating.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The Ridgemonkey Alta is built for robust use, but please consult the specific product documentation included in your box for the exact weight limit.

How low can the chair sit with the legs removed?

Removing the legs brings the base of the chair down to almost ground level, which is useful for situations where you need to fit under low-profile shelters.

Can I replace individual parts if they break?

The chair features a durable design, but please contact your retailer or Ridgemonkey support regarding spare parts for the leg mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Leg height does not lock in place

Check the locking collar for any trapped debris or sand. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry before engaging the lock again.

Chair feels wobbly on level ground

Ensure that the leg tethered sections are fully seated into their sockets and that all four legs are adjusted to the same height.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior back and neck support compared to standard camping chairs
  • Stable on uneven ground due to independent, self-levelling mud feet
  • Quick and intuitive assembly using internally tethered frame components
  • Multiple storage options for keeping accessories organized
  • Water-resistant materials ideal for harsh outdoor conditions

Cons

  • Heavier and larger packed size than minimalist camping chairs
  • Takes more time to adjust legs perfectly on very uneven terrain
  • The frame complexity adds to the overall weight of the package

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Alta is straightforward thanks to the elasticated internal frame design, similar to modern tent poles; simply allow the sections to snap together. To adjust the seat height, loosen the locking mechanism on the individual legs, slide them to the desired length, and re-tighten.

For maintenance, wipe down the 210D nylon fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, ensuring it is completely dry before storing in the carry bag to prevent mildew. The aluminium frame is weather-resistant, but it is recommended to rinse off any grit or salt water after coastal trips to maintain the integrity of the adjustable leg locks. Do not force the leg locks if they feel stiff; instead, ensure they are free from debris or dried mud.
