Fishing Chair Weight
This will come down to a matter of what the chair is made out of. We know we don't want poor material that won't last. So does a lightweight frame use inferior material? How does a lightweight chair hold up to a big ole' boy fishing in it for a while? He's not going to collapse in the river we hope. You'll really want a lightweight feature if you're packing it in, or you have a long trek to your fishing hole. Finding a chair that doesn't lose stability or durability to get lighter is also important.
Fishing Chair Material
Besides the fact that we want it durable, there are other considerations. Do you care about color? You might want it to blend in. What about water or fire resistance? Things to think about if you bring it camping around the fire, or sit in the water while fishing. How about the frame? It has to be rust resistant if it's going to get wet. Just think what that would do to metal hinges of folding chairs. Environmental awareness is important to many people these days.
