CRB · COOLIBAH
A Real Chair.
Folds Into A Bag.
A real armchair — padded arms, tilting backrest, side storage pouch — that folds dead flat into its own tote and carries in one hand. Aluminium X-frame rated to 100 kg. Campfire, festival, riverbank, sideline.
Folds Into A Tote
Flat 50 × 31 cm slab, in its own carry bag. One-hand carry.
Arms + Tilting Back
Padded armrests to push up from, backrest that leans with you.
100 kg Rated X-Frame
Aluminium-alloy frame — no wobble, no sag, on grass or sand.
Side Storage Pouch
Phone, drink and sunnies hang at your hand, off the ground.
Low-slung sling chairs drop you ~30 cm off the ground — knees at your chin, and a workout to get out of. The Coolibah sits at proper chair height with padded armrests to push up from and a backrest that tilts with you. Sit for hours, stand up like a normal person.
60-day risk-free trial and a 1-year warranty on frame, fabric and stitching. If it's not for you, send it back.
Your Coolibah chair with its fitted tote carry bag (two of each in the Twin Pack). No tools, no assembly, no loose parts.
The best seat out there is the one you brought.
Cheap steel chairs snap and get left at the campsite. Pole chairs turn into a puzzle in the dark. Sling seats drop you 30 cm off the deck with your knees at your chin. The Coolibah opens like a real armchair, sits like one for hours — then folds dead flat into a tote you carry in one hand.
SEE THE OFFER →Every detail
earns its place.
Folds dead flat
Not a bag of poles — a flat 50 × 31 cm slab. It slides behind the ute seat, lies flat in the boot under everything else, and straps to a rack.
Comes with its tote
Drop the folded chair in its fitted tote and carry it in one hand — to the beach, the pit line, the far bank. It looks like a shopping bag, not camp gear.
Aluminium X-frame
A locking alloy X-frame holds steady up to 100 kg / 220 lb — no wobble when you lean, no sag after a season of use.
Tilting backrest
The back panel pivots with you as you settle in — sit upright for the footy, lean back for the sunset. Hours, not minutes.
Side storage pouch
A deep fabric pouch hangs off the seat rail — phone, drink, sunscreen and keys at your hand instead of in the dirt.
A real armchair
82 cm tall with padded arms at proper height — easy in, easy out, for anyone. The cheap bucket chairs don't come close.
Real owners. Real trips.
Real ground.
Watch it fold into the tote and stay solid on sand, grass and concrete.
One chair.
Two finishes.

Waterproof roll-top tail bag that straps on beside the flat-folded Coolibah. The whole camp on one bike.

Overbuilt

CRB Gear builds kit for people who actually get out there — gear that's heavier on the spec sheet than it needs to be, because the cheap version is the one that fails on the weekend it matters.

Frequently asked
questions.
The aluminium-alloy X-frame is load-rated to 100 kg (220 lb). It sits planted — no wobble when you lean, no sag over time.
That's the whole point. Proper chair height with padded armrests sturdy enough to push up on — easy in, easy out, for anyone. No dropping into a bucket 30 cm off the ground.
It folds dead flat: 50 × 31 cm — and slips into its fitted tote bag. Behind a ute seat, flat in the boot, in a festival trolley, or carried in one hand like a shopping bag.
None. It's one piece — unfold it, the frame locks, sit down. Pack-down is just as fast, straight into the tote.
The wide aluminium footprint spreads the load on grass, dirt and sand — no sinking, no tilting. That's what the "stays put" frame design is for.
The double-layer fabric sheds splashes and light rain, wipes clean after the beach, and dries fast. Just don't pack it away soaking — let it dry first, like any camp gear.
Two chairs, two totes, $339.97 — that's $169.99 a chair instead of $189.97, in one delivery. Most people camp as a pair; the Twin is the pick.
Two: Blackout and Desert Tan. Same chair, same frame, same price — pick yours in the Colour selector above.
60-day risk-free trial — take it away for a weekend and decide. Plus a 1-year warranty on the frame, fabric and stitching.
