Compass 360° XT Swivel Stool - Extra Tall

This chair traveled well to Idaho from Texas. It was field tested and worked like a charm. From camp, to glassing hill sides, and sitting for 30 hours on black bear. I could not have been as successful as I was without, so glad I picked it up before my trip.

I had this chair for 13 months. I used it 4 days a week before it broke. (I ordered a 2nd one immediately after the 1st one broke ) I love that it is taller and that it swivels. I do wish the rubber caps on the bottom were thicker. I am including pictures of where the chair failed. As a reminder this chair was used 4 days a week during the school year. It is lightweight and portable. Side note: It does take some work and effort to get the seat on the first time or two, but the material loosens up and then it becomes easy.

Even if I were an olympic weight lifter I do not see how I would have the strength to get the third rod into its appropriate pocket to get the seat attached. I think if I had a 200 lb man stand on the rod I could make it clear the mouth of the pocket but would I have to find a spare 200 lb man to do so every time I wanted to make this operational? So I have not been able to sit on this even once. I tried to get a strap wrench around the tubeto pull them more together but the geometry of the angle would not let that work. I could drill through the tubes, add eye bolts and then use a winch. That could work. I have a conduit cutter and a hacksaw and could cut a half inch off one of the tubes but I suspect that would void the warranty and even then it might make the crotch comfort situation even worse than what others report. For the photo I am putting tension on the seat with one hand as my other hand is holding the phone. With both hands and my body I could possibly get it about 8 mm closer but would need 2 people or some mechanical device to get it the rest of the way on. What do I do now?

I found that I like using it whenever I take my dog to a large field to play fetch. If I don't feel like walking around or standing, I can just pull out this taller stool and throw the ball without being in as much of awkward, squatty position. I meant that I am a little disappointed that the seat is not as tightly on as the original 360 stool that I have. It makes it a little less comfortable to sit on because of it kind of cups my pelvis. I like it. It works, but that lack of tightness is a bit disappointing. I imagine someone must have complained that it was too hard to put the seat on. I meant you have to pull a little to get the seat on the original, but it was a small price of admission for a more comfortable seat in my opinion. I love this company and the gear they make. I have three stools from grand trunk now, all of which have different purposes, but the original 360 is still my favorite because it is still the most comfortable lightweight stool.

I've taken this stool on two backpacking trips with my family. I love it. At 6'5" most portable stools take a lot of work for me to squat into and a lot more work to stand up. This one is an ideal height to sit with the stove while two of our Grand Trunk hammocks keep watch.

I am a chair freak, because I have kids in travel sports, and do a lot of outdoor activities. With that being said, this is a compact, sturdy chair you can throw in a backpack and always have on hand. I already have Stadium seats and Bag chairs, but adding this to the mix was a no brainer. I can see myself using this fishing and camping with as well. Time will tell
Just how sturdy it is, but for now it appears to be a good buy. My cat approves! Thank you.

Brilliant chair

Super sturdy and light! Excited to use it in the woods!

Enjoying the seat for outdoor macro photography!

It worked perfectly...twice. I am a sports photographer. I left it at the stadium the second time I used it. Disappointing, but entirely self-inflicted. Good product.

Received my order today, The cloth seat is WAY TOO SMALL for the frame of the chair I received today. Won't go on at all. Totally useless. Will be sitting on a log during my camping trip this weekend.

Just what the hunter ordered!! Thank you!!

I Love the swivel and the height and the sturdiness. I do find it very hard when assembling it to put the seat on, even with the one pocket having a tab to pull.

I really love my chair!!! I drive trucks and sometimes I have to wait on shippers. I love the fact that it is so compact and I can carry it anywhere. I get compliments on it all of the time. Also very sturdy and comfortable and built really well!!! Not just a cheap all purpose chair!!

It is a little tough to get legs into the seat, but hoping it loosens up after more usage. I like the height and think it will work well.

I usually sit on something when I shoot soccer. Sometimes the ground, but I like s small chair - I don’t want to take something bulky and awkward to carry. I haven’t used this stool yet but I’m looking forward to it when soccer picks up again.
I love long legs, and bad knees. Smaller/shorter stools are tough to get out of. This one is a little taller. It’s lightweight, packs down small but seems to be very sturdy and the swivel seat should be great for soccer. I used a 5 gallon bucket last season which was…less than effective!

Perfect size, height, and very lightweight. External loops will easily help attach the carry bag to my backpack.

The chair either has the wrong sized seat or it's impossible to assemble. I asked for a video but nothing was done. Refund. After shipping costs, I'd rather keep it so I can challenge people to assemble it. Will not buy from Grand Trunk. Very disappointed.

Perfect compact camp and hunting stool

It is nice. Thank you

This chair is lightweight and convenient to pack and very sturdy. I fave a lower rating because the top is not easy to put on. Even with the tab I struggle to set the posts in the compartments. Plan to buy the version that folds away with the top on.

I got the tallest one. It is easy to set up very stable. Perfect for blind Hunting.

So far so good.

Great

The fabric seat fits so snugly that it makes it difficult to assemble.
