These OLPRO chairs are for campers, festival-goers and families who want a folding seat for the pitch, the beach or the garden. The collection covers five products: a high-back beach chair, a directors chair with a fold-out side table, the cushioned Henwick with a cooler in its armrest, the Olympus XL bucket chair and a set of two bamboo benches. All four chairs fold on steel frames, and the benches fold flat on aluminium ones. Load ratings run from 120kg on the Beach Chair and Directors Chair to 200kg for each bench.
OLPRO is a Worcestershire company, certified as a B Corporation since 2023. The Beach Chair is the lightest of the five at 3.3kg, with a high back, cushioned armrests and extra-wide feet for sand or soft ground. On the Directors Chair, a fold-out side table carries a cupholder, with a stowage pouch on the side. The Henwick has the most constructed in: an insulated cooler for eight cans in the left armrest, a wine glass holder in the right, a mesh cup holder and a side pocket. At 79cm wide the Olympus XL is the broadest chair here, with a rounded bucket seat, lumbar support and an insulated cup holder. The Bamboo Benches are 98 cm long with natural bamboo tops on aluminium frames, and their height adjusts from 40 to 43cm.
Car campers with room in the boot get the most from the Olympus XL, Henwick and Directors Chair, which weigh 6 to 7.5kg and pack away to between 98 and 103cm long. For a festival or a day on the beach, the 3.3kg Beach Chair travels in a carrying bag which doubles as a headrest pillow when you're sat down. For family meals, the Bamboo Benches are built to pair with OLPRO's own bamboo camping tables. Our camping tables, reclining chairs and windbreaks collections cover the remainder of the pitch.
Check the load rating first: 120kg for the Beach Chair and Directors Chair, 130kg for the Olympus XL, 150kg for the Henwick and 200kg for each bench. If you are walking any distance from the car, the Beach Chair is the one to carry at 3.3kg, against 6 to 7.5kg for the other chairs. For a deep, cushioned seat to sink into after a walk, go for the Olympus XL. If you would rather keep drinks next to you than in the tent, choose between the Henwick's armrest cooler and the Directors Chair's side table. There is no entry-level or high-grade split in this collection: the four chairs share a steel frame and polyester fabric , and they differ in the extras.
The mistake to avoid is buying on looks alone, then finding the load rating or the packed size does not suit you or the car. Measure the boot against the packed sizes: 98 x 25 x 30cm for the Olympus XL, 103 x 15 x 15cm for the Henwick, 100 x 58 x 10cm for the Directors Chair, 78 x 20 x 14cm for the Beach Chair and 98 x 27 x 5cm for each bench. The Beach Chair, Henwick, Olympus XL and both benches include their own carrying bags. Let the fabric dry before you fold a chair away after rain, and wipe the bamboo bench tops down after meals.Which OLPRO camping chair do I need?
