We’re used to waiting a while for products we see at trade shows to make it to production. When we saw the new Joey Chair and SleepRite Cot from TravelChair at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in 2013, we were pretty excited to sit in, lay on, and fold up both of them. Their unique designs, which use shock cord to keep them lightweight and packable, are unlike other products we’ve seen, and we’ve seen a lot. Here’s the release we just got, advising us they’re available. *Videos at the bottom

That’s really funny…. these chairs are a complete copy cat of the “Helinox Chair One” that have been on the market for years. This is not new or unique!!!
