Wychwood Specialist Ultra Light Chair

When speed, mobility, and lightweight gear are essential to your angling success, heavy bankside furniture only slows you down. The Wychwood Specialist Ultra Light Chair is engineered specifically for the active angler who prefers stalking, roving, or squeezing in quick after-work sessions. Combining rugged construction with maximum portability, this chair ensures you never have to sacrifice seating comfort when travelling light. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we know that staying mobile often leads to more fish in the net, and this ultra-lightweight setup is built to keep you on the move with minimal effort.

Key Features & Design Benefits

• Ultra-Lightweight Frame (3.4kg): Weighing just 3.4kg, this chair carries effortlessly without adding unnecessary bulk to your loadout.

• Reinforced Breathable Mesh Seat: Built using high-tensile, reinforced mesh fabric that stays cool during summer days, dries rapidly after rain, and wipes down easily after muddy sessions.

• Integrated Padded Headrest: Features a plush top padded section to deliver neck and upper back support during long waits for a bite.

• Built-in Adjustable Shoulder Strap: Designed for true hands-free transport, allowing you to carry your chair over your shoulder while carrying unhooking mats, rods, or bait buckets.

• Fold-Flat Transport Design: Packs down exceptionally thin to slide neatly into compact boots, barrows, or carryalls.

• Stability Legs & Mud Feet: Equipped with locking leg mechanisms and swivelling mud feet to ensure stable placement on uneven, muddy riverbanks or sloping gravel pits.

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use

• River Roving & Chub/Barbel Fishing: Ideal for wandering miles along river stretches like the Lune or Ribble, hopping from swim to swim without getting fatigued.

• Carp Stalking: Perfect for keeping a low profile around margins when tracking surface feeders or stalking carp in overgrown bays.

• Quick Day Ticket Sessions: Excellent choice for anglers who prefer 2 to 4-hour evening stints where setting up a large bedchair or heavy seat is unnecessary.

• Canal & Urban Angling: Light enough to carry on foot, bike, or public transport while exploring canal towpaths and urban stretches.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When roving along overgrown banks, use the integrated shoulder strap to position the folded chair flat against your back. This keeps your hands completely free to maneuver your rod and landing net through tight bushes without snagging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the mesh seat material durable enough for heavy use?

Yes. The chair utilizes a heavy-duty reinforced mesh specifically engineered to withstand regular bankside wear and tear without sagging or stretching out over time.

How easy is it to clean off mud and groundbait?

Because the seat is made from high-density mesh, dirt, clay, and groundbait residue don’t soak in. A simple wipe down with a damp cloth or sponge clears away bankside grime in seconds.

Can the legs handle uneven ground?

The front legs feature adjustable locking mechanisms paired with swivelling mud feet that prevent sinking into soft ground and allow you to level the seat on sloping banks.

How does this carry compared to standard lightweight chairs?

At just 3.4kg with a built-in shoulder strap, it eliminates the need for a separate carry bag, making it significantly easier to carry across long distances than standard steel-framed chairs.
