FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How do I use the chair if I use the trekking poles for my trekking pole tent?

    If not using a freestanding tent, it depends on your setup. With many trekking pole tents, you can set it up as you normally would with all your sleeping gear inside. You can then remove the poles letting everything lie flat while using the chair to make dinner, chat, and relax. With all the guy lines already in place, it's typically quick and easy to pop the poles back in place when you’re ready for bed.

  • Can I use my own poles?

    TrekChair is available as a chair-only option or a full system. The full system includes Goat Stix carbon fiber poles; chair-only requires compatible poles that you supply.
