Big Agnes Insulated Cover for Mica Basin Camp Chair

Bought this for fall camping and it transformed my chair. The shower-cap fit goes on in seconds and suddenly my 40-degree evenings are actually enjoyable. My husband keeps stealing it, so I may need a second one.

Honestly didn't think a fabric cover would do much, but it blocks the wind that comes right through mesh chairs. Fit my Mica Basin perfectly. Wish it packed a little smaller, but warmth-wise it delivers.

I'm 68 and cold sets into my hips fast when I sit still outside. This cover fixes that completely. It's like wrapping the whole chair in a sleeping bag. We watched the sunset for two hours at 35°F and I never got chilled. Best thirty bucks I've spent on camp gear in years.

Turns a good chair into a great cold-weather chair.

It definitely works — noticeably warmer on chilly mornings with coffee. The awkward part is that it doesn't compress well and it's another thing to keep track of. I've taken to leaving it on the chair between uses, which is fine at basecamp.

My partner bought this for their chair, but I commandeered it during a frosty trip in October and refused to give it back. The insulated lining makes a shocking difference versus bare mesh. Order one per chair or schedule fights. Only wish it came in a color other than charcoal so we could tell them apart.
