Chipper Reclaimed Closed-Cell Foam Seat

Lightweight Tush Cush

I love this "cushion". It's lightweight, packable, and environmentally friendly. I use it every outing.

Exceeds Expectations

I bought this on a whim. I had picnic table bench covers already, but was curious about this product and figured it could come in handy. As it turns out, I use this all the time now. It's great for picnic areas where I am only there for a short while and don't want to set up everything under the sun (like the full bench covers). It stores in the passenger door pocket in my vehicle and is so easy for me to grab up. Whenever I pull this out to use it, I can tell that strangers are giving me the "I wish I had that gear" look. Even though I wasn't into the bright colors, they've grown on me. It helps me spot that I've left out it out so that I don't forget it when I'm packing up. I would absolutely buy this again and recommend to others.

Goes with me everywhere

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

This sit pad is perfect. It seriously makes SUCH a big difference in comfort level. I take it with me backpacking, climbing, car camping, and to sit on on the bleachers or grass at baseball games.

Great!

Easily portable. Surprisingly helpful for walks with a toddler.

Great idea for an age-old problem

Simple design; easy to use; inexpensive, and lightweight. I purchased one a year ago and it worked so well, I purchased a second one.

Great concept and form, but poorly made

Familiarity:

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

I like the concept of reusing scraps, the light weight, the funky colors and the small form factor, but the pad is so badly made, its laughable. The different colored foam blebs are barely fused together, instead they look like they've been glued on with lots of gaps, loose chunks and small crevices that won't stand up to real outdoor use. Not sure what Nemo is doing for quality control, as I saw them in a store and some looked better than others. If Nemo could actually make the foam pieces fuse together uniformly, it would be a good product, but right now I would pass on it unless I could see it in person.

Good reclaimed materials product

Good pad. I leave multiple in the car for wet picnic table seats and serves as great available ground barrier when needed. I would use it in more settings if it were more packable.

Pleasantly surprised

Wasn’t sure how I’d like this product initially. However I am very pleased with it and use it around the house which had mainly hardwood floors. This product is the go-to item I use when sitting or kneeling on the floor. I also like that it conveniently folds up.

Functional & Funky

I used to take a heavy closed foam pad made for gardening on the car camp trips. Bulky and not so great. The Chipper is different and way better. I'm happy that it's made from recycled stuff, folds small and is super-lightweight (meaning I can use it for backpacking and motorcycle camping!)
