The Old Mate Original
Years of camping trips. Years of lugging around chairs that took up half the ute tray and weighed a tonne. Years of saying "there has to be a better way."
So we made one.
The Old Mate Original is our answer to every clunky, bulky, impossible-to-pack camp chair that came before it. compact. convenient. comfortable. — and we mean all three, not just the ones that suit the marketing.
Not "yeah it fits if you play Tetris" compact. Actually compact. Toss it in the back of the car, strap it to your pack, chuck it in the camper — it just goes.
- Lightweight without feeling flimsy
- Sturdy enough for the big fella in your crew
- Sets up in seconds (no instructions required, promise)
- Built for Australian conditions — sun, dust, the lot
We're Aoife & Stef, and this little chair is our passion project turned real thing. We road-tested it, argued about the colours (more than once), and only landed here when we were genuinely stoked with what we had.
We reckon you're going to love it. But honestly — we're just excited you're here. 🧡
