    Unfold on hard ground

    Fiberglass rods and foam take the slope and the concrete so your back does not.

  3. 03

    Adjust the straps

    One size for adults and children. Packs down as fast as it opens.

Still going strong

Fifteen years later, same seats.

Our Howzat Seats have travelled a long journey with our family. They must be at least 15 years old and they are still in fantastic condition: camping, beaching, hockey fields, basketball, squash, water polo and swimming galas. Comfort and versatility. A great investment and still going strong.

Since a neck operation I found it very uncomfortable to sit on chairs with no back rest. With a Howzat Seat I sit comfortably wherever I go. I keep one in both our vehicles so I can always sit pain-free.

A key piece of kit for the East Rand Hiking Club. They support a tired back on overnight stops. Visitors from other clubs adapt to them in minutes. Sitting in your Howzat at the end of a tough day next to the river is often the highlight.
