There isn't one perfect chair for everyone.

Some people want the lightest compact camping chair possible that they can easily carry from the car to the sidelines. Others are happy to carry a little more weight in exchange for extra comfort, higher back support and the convenience of a 360° swivel.

That's why Witness offers two chairs designed for different lifestyles.

Whether you're spending weekends at swimming carnivals, watching junior sport, camping, fishing or enjoying time outdoors with family, there's a Witness chair designed to suit the way you spend your time outside.

This guide will help you decide whether the Witness Compact Chair or the Witness Comfort 360 Chair is the better choice for you.
