After six years of weekend use, testers report chairs that don't look their age, despite dog claws and fish hooks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake happens in the first twenty seconds. Most people pull the corners apart, push the armrests down until they click and sit down. The tensioner behind the backrest gets ignored, the fabric sags and your back gets no support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEngage the tensioner until the fabric is fully taut. Only then does the frame carry you the way it's meant to, and the chair feels like what you paid for it. Once you've done that, you'll never do it any other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwenty seconds between boot and coffee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trailhead Camp Chair is up in about twenty seconds. Pull the corners apart, push both armrests down until they click, engage the tensioner behind the backrest, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ritual looks the same at every meet. Tailgate up, bag off the hook, unzip, chair out. By the time your neighbour has sorted his boot, you're already sitting down. The instructions, by the way, are printed on a sticker on the armrests, which you need the first time and never look at again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup holder is included and hangs left or right under the armrest, depending on which hand holds your cup. It takes the 20 oz and 30 oz tumblers as well as the 26 oz bottle, plus any standard can. On the drive there, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yeti-isolierbecher-rambler-tumbler-magslider-deckel\"\u003einsulated tumbler\u003c\/a\u003e stays in the car's cup holder and simply moves to the chair on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the seat you'll notice after the first half hour. The fabric is tensioned, not padded, and it gives just enough to wrap round your back instead of forming a hollow. You sit upright like at a table, not half lying like in a director's chair. That's also why you can eat in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn road trips in the weekend car, it's the reason you actually stop at a viewpoint. Two chairs out, tailgate up, and a comfort break turns into an hour. At a meet it stands next to the car all day and becomes the spot where the chat circle forms, while your neighbour balances on his folding stool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the day it packs away just as quickly, in about half a minute. The carry bag has padded straps you sling over one shoulder or wear as a rucksack. That's plenty for the two hundred metres from your spot to the pit lane, and you've got both hands free for the table and the cool bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 2: ANWENDUNG — Hände drücken die Armlehne bis zum Klick nach unten, Spanner hinter der Rückenlehne im Anschnitt, Schotterboden, Heckklappe unscharf dahinter\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-camp-chair_anwendung.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Trailhead Camp Chair Campingstuhl beim Aufbau am Stellplatz\" --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt's the wrong chair for the campfire and the rucksack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FlexGrid fabric is UV-resistant, but neither flame-retardant nor puncture-proof. Sparks from the barbecue or the fire leave holes, and they don't come out again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYETI deliberately leaves out flame retardants, citing health concerns. Fair enough, but it's still a limit. The chair belongs at the tailgate, at the folding table and in the second row round the fire, not the first. Put it right next to the embers regularly and after two seasons you'll be hunting for a replacement fabric that doesn't exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is the packed size. Folded, it's 109 centimetres long, which is longer than most boots are wide. The chair rides lengthways, not crossways, and if you're on the shorter side it'll bang against your calves as you carry it. Six kilos you'll happily carry two hundred metres, not so happily two kilometres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat also settles the choice within the range. If the chair gets carried often and far, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-field-chair\"\u003ethe lighter camping chair in the range\u003c\/a\u003e, at about four kilos and without armrests, is the more honest pick. If it goes from the boot to your spot and stays there until evening, this one. There's nothing in between that does both equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there are three things it simply can't do. The backrest has exactly one position; there's no recline, so if you want to lean back, you're in the wrong chair. There's no mesh pocket and no side pouch; your phone sits on the armrest or in the grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd exactly one cup holder comes in the box, not two. It's also made of fabric rather than a rigid cup, so a big bottle sits a bit wobbly in it and can tip if someone knocks the armrest. That's the most repeated criticism across all the tests, and it's fair. If there are two of you and you both want your drinks on the chair, buy the second holder separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 3: DETAIL — Nahaufnahme des überkreuzten Stahlrahmens und eines breiten Fußes auf Schotter nach einer Saison, Staub in der Struktur, FlexGrid Gewebe straff im Anschnitt\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-camp-chair_ergebnis.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Trailhead Camp Chair Campingstuhl Rahmen und Fuß im Detail\" --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSix kilos you buy once and then keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trailhead Camp Chair pays off for people who bring the same chair along for years and recognise it in the paddock. For one summer evening a year, it's too much chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou see it at the same meets as the year before, in the same colour, with the same scuffs on the frame. It doesn't buckle, it doesn't split at the seams, and it doesn't crack in the spot where cheap plastic gives up after two seasons. The fabric doesn't warp, because it works under tension rather than being stitched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a colour is more practical than it sounds. Charcoal swallows gravel dust and coffee splashes and still looks like new after three seasons. Navy is easy to spot from a hundred metres on a packed car park and sits next to just about any paint without stealing the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeople who look after their car instead of wearing it out rarely buy the loudest thing and almost never the cheapest. They buy what will still be around in five years. The same attitude runs through the whole \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/yeti\"\u003eYETI range\u003c\/a\u003e, and in the paddock you spot it on a chair faster than on the paint next to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn front of our showroom in Nordhorn, two kinds of chairs turn up on meet weekends. One kind goes in the bin in the evening because the seam on the seat has split. The other goes back in its bag. That's the real difference, and it doesn't show on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trick no manufacturer writes down comes after the meet. Rinse the four joints of the crossed frame once with clean water and shake them dry before the chair goes back in the bag. Grit and salt settle exactly where the frame slides past itself when you fold it, and they work there like grinding paste. You only notice in the third season, when setting it up starts to catch. Twenty seconds at the tap and it never happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 4: LINEUP — Trailhead Camp Chair in Navy und Charcoal nebeneinander aufgebaut auf Schotter, dazwischen die Tragetasche mit Rucksackgurten, Klapptisch im Anschnitt\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-camp-chair_lineup.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Trailhead Camp Chair Campingstuhl in Navy und Charcoal mit Tragetasche\" --\u003e\n","brand":"YETI","offers":[{"title":"Navy (Blau)","offer_id":58253344375119,"sku":"D1-YET-70000002230","price":340.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal (Anthrazit)","offer_id":58253344407887,"sku":"D1-YET-70000002229","price":340.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/trailhead-camp-chair-campingstuhl__70000002230_e9a74f22-bd76-4fb3-867b-a5190c7e5c0f.png?v=1788190935"},{"product_id":"yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-field-chair","title":"Trailhead® \"Field Chair\" Camping Chair","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eA seat next to the car that fits in the boot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the YETI Trailhead Field Chair?

Half six, mist over the car park, the first three cars already there. You pull a bundle out from the side of the boot, flick it open, and while everyone else is still perched on the kerb, you're sitting down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 1: HERO — Trailhead Field Chair aufgebaut neben der offenen Heckklappe eines Kombis auf einem Parkplatz im Morgennebel, Kaffeebecher auf der Ladekante\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-field-chair_hero.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Trailhead Field Chair neben der offenen Heckklappe auf einem Cars and Coffee Parkplatz am Morgen\" --\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour kilos and a 94-centimetre bundle.\u003c\/strong\u003e Folded, it's 17.8 centimetres wide and 9.1 deep, about as thick as a forearm. That goes upright into the side of the boot next to the jack without costing you the load floor.

With no armrests to push off, every centimetre counts, and at 44.5 you get out of the chair without shoving off the wing. A DIY-store chair at 32 centimetres doesn't manage that.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt stands as steady on gravel as on tarmac.\u003c\/strong\u003e The GroundGrip feet are extra wide and don't sink into grass or gravel.

In the morning on the grass, the fabric is wet with dew. Pull the chair into the bag like that, leave the bag in the boot until next weekend, and you'll pull out something musty. Two minutes open in the sun, or unfolded in the garage at home. And YETI deliberately uses no flame retardants in its chairs. A spark from the barbecue burns a hole. Keep three metres away and nothing happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo moves at the tailgate and you're sitting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe YETI Trailhead Field Chair comes out of the bag folded, opens with one pull on the frame and stands. No armrests to click in, no backrest to re-tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Germany, Cars \u0026amp; Coffee means early weekend mornings, all makes welcome, no programme. You arrive, park up, grab a coffee and then stand for three hours. People who sit talk for longer. People who sit on the kerb are back on their feet after twenty minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag has one strap, not two. Over the shoulder from the boot to your spot, that's twenty metres and no fuss. With the Camp Chair you're strapping on a rucksack, which is better across a whole show car park and overkill for the length of a car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the paddock, the chair is the only spot that's yours. Between two sessions you get forty minutes, and thirty of those go on tyre pressures, fuel and helmet. You spend the last ten sitting instead of leaning on the trailer, and you get up with less of a sore back than you sat down with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a road trip in the weekend car, it turns a lay-by into a proper break. Gravel car park by the lake, motorway services, the forecourt of a stranger's body shop. Tailgate up, chair open, twenty minutes of peace. YETI itself names the early-morning tailgate as what it's for, not us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith two of you, it becomes a ritual. A chair on each side, and between them the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yeti-outdoor-decke-lowlands-blanket\"\u003ewater-repellent outdoor blanket\u003c\/a\u003e on the ground for bag, cup and camera. On wet grass that's the difference between half an hour and five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt a classic car meet on a field, the second advantage kicks in. The wide feet stand on soft ground without digging in, and you sit in front of your own car instead of on the beer benches by the marquee. Anyone who's spent three hours on someone else's bench set while their car stood alone fifty metres away buys a chair afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it stays in the car. At 94 centimetres folded, it goes crossways behind the rear seat back or flat against the side of the boot, where it's in nobody's way. A chair that lives in the cellar gets used twice a year. One that lives in the estate gets used every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 2: ANWENDUNG — Hände falten den Trailhead Field Chair vor der geöffneten Heckklappe auf, Tragetasche liegt auf der Ladekante\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-field-chair_anwendung.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Trailhead Field Chair wird am Kofferraum aus der Tragetasche aufgeklappt\" --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNo armrests and no cup holder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe camping chair has neither armrests nor a holder for your drink. That's the price of four kilos instead of six, and YETI doesn't hide it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice that means your cup sits on the ground, on the boot sill or in the cup holder YETI sells separately, which clips under the armrest or onto the frame. On gravel a cup tips over faster than you can stand it back up. If you don't want to keep a hand on your coffee, factor in the holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is headroom on the load rating. 158 kilos is more than any discounter folding chair can take, but well below the 227 of the Camp Chair. And the fabric isn't puncture-proof. A tear isn't a cosmetic flaw, it affects stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third point you notice after the first hot day: Twilite is a closed weave, not a mesh. In the sun more heat stays on your back than with the big model's mesh, but no gravel falls through the seat and after rain you wipe it dry instead of waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes the choice clear. If the chair rides along and the boot is already full, this is the one. If you sit for three hours straight and want somewhere to rest your arms, go for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-camp-chair\"\u003ecamping chair with armrests and cup holder\u003c\/a\u003e. You can't have both at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat leaves colour, and you pick it to match the car, not your taste. Black disappears next to any vehicle and shows dust and pollen straight away. Tan stays cooler in the sun and hides dry dirt from the grass, but paddock oil splashes show on it forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 3: DETAIL — Nahaufnahme der breiten GroundGrip-Füße auf Schotter neben einem Vorderrad, Stuhlrahmen angeschnitten\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-field-chair_ergebnis.png\n     Alt-Text: \"GroundGrip Fuesse des YETI Trailhead Field Chair auf Schotter neben einem Fahrzeugrad\" --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFive years of warranty and a chair that fades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYETI gives the Trailhead Field Chair a five-year warranty and says in the same breath that the fabric fades very slightly over the years. The two go together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you look after a car, you know that searching look after two summers. Edges first, then the seam, then the spot where your hand always rests. That's exactly where the chair ages too: the aluminium frame stays as it was, the joints don't work loose, and the colour gets a touch more muted. That's patina, not wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat doesn't age is the seating position. After a few weekends the fabric gives to the way you sit and then hangs exactly the way you sit. A DIY-store folding chair does that too, except after one season it ends in a sag and the seam chafes through on the frame tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCare is a two-minute job, not a ritual. YETI itself says hosing it off is enough. Whatever a summer on the grass leaves behind comes off with mild soap and a soft brush, frame and fabric alike. Then let it dry open, then into the bag. That's all the chair needs in five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho it isn't for: anyone with a fixed spot in the garage who leaves the chair there. There's more comfortable and cheaper furniture for that. And anyone heavy, or who likes to park a toolbox on the seat, because 158 kilos is a number with less headroom than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's for anyone who spends every other weekend somewhere without a bench. Twenty, thirty outings a year, always the same two moves. Someone like that doesn't buy the cheapest thing, they buy what will still be in the same boot in five years.

Almost everyone pulls on the armrest while they're still leaning back into the backrest, then the lock jams and you end up jerking about. Here's how it's done: sit up for a moment, weight forward, lift both armrests, pull back, press down again until it clicks into place. Second point for the boot: a chair that gets folded up and packed away wet or salty will smell by its second season. Let it air out open first, then pack it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo runners instead of four feet on gravel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe YETI Hondo camping chair stands on two continuous runners instead of four separate feet. That's why it doesn't sink in on one side on gravel, grass or sand, and doesn't tip over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou notice it exactly where camping chairs usually drive you mad. On a gravel paddock, a point foot finds a gap between two stones, and from then on half the chair sits crooked. The runners spread the weight along their whole length, you sit level, and when you lean back nothing shifts. Same goes for mown grass after two days of rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSetting up is one movement. Unfold, sit down, armrests down. The backrest locks in at four angles, and the waterfall headrest is why you actually nod off in position four instead of just pretending. The mesh in the back dries fast, so even after a night in the dew the chair is dry again after ten minutes of sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the chair goes isn't left to chance, either. In the shade of the open tailgate you've got the folding table within reach and the car in view without turning round. And because the Hondo sits low, your eye line is roughly level with the sill and wheel arch rather than the roof. That's the angle you can look at a car from for hours without getting bored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup holder hooks on, left or right, depending on where the folding table is. It's deep enough for the big bottles, and that's no small thing: the classic mesh holder on a cheap folding chair tips over precisely when there's an insulated tumbler in it that's heavier than an empty can. If that's ever happened to you over a light-coloured boot lip, you know why this matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 2: ANWENDUNG — Detail der beiden Laengskufen auf grobem Schotter, dahinter das Fahrzeug angeschnitten, Hand am Armlehnen-Verstellgriff\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-hondo-base-camp-chair_anwendung.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Hondo Campingstuhl Kufen auf Schotter und Verstellgriff an der Armlehne\" --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt sits low, and that's not for everyone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the back, the seat is about 20 centimetres off the ground. That makes it stable and comfortable, but it also makes it a chair for people who plan on staying put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're up every five minutes at a meet because someone wants to talk engine bays, the YETI Hondo camping chair is the wrong one. Getting up from 20 centimetres is a different story from a seat height of around 42 centimetres. But if your weekend is sitting down, coffee and two hours of watching, that's exactly the point. For the other half there's the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yeti-campingstuhl-trailhead-camp-chair\"\u003ecamping chair at regular seat height\u003c\/a\u003e, which also takes 225 kilos and comes with a carry bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 159 kilo capacity is the second number worth thinking about beforehand. It's plenty for the vast majority, but well below the Trailhead's 225 kilos. If you're heavier, or you like to sit with a child on your lap, you're better off with its big brother. Up to that limit, the fabric doesn't lose its tension, according to the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird honest limit: the Hondo folds flat, but not small. Folded, it's about 67 centimetres wide and 74 centimetres high, and less than 17 centimetres thick. So it won't disappear into a corner of the boot; it needs a flat area. There's no carry bag, just the shoulder strap, and on shorter people that knocks against the legs as they walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it has no flame retardant. YETI leaves it out on purpose, citing the chemicals that would be needed for it. What that means for you: a spark from the barbecue or the fire pit burns a hole in the fabric, and the warranty doesn't cover burn damage. The chair belongs at the tailgate, not downwind next to the embers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 3: DETAIL — Hondo zusammengeklappt flach im Kofferraum liegend, daneben Kuehlbox, Massverhaeltnis zur Ladeflaeche erkennbar\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-hondo-base-camp-chair_ergebnis.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Hondo Campingstuhl flach zusammengeklappt im Kofferraum neben der Kuehlbox\" --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Hondo looks like after three seasons in the boot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe real test for a chair in this price bracket isn't the first summer, it's the third. Two things decide it: the frame, and what you do with it after the weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is powder-coated aluminium, the armrests are nylon. There are no steel tubes to rust from the inside and no rivets to fall apart in the salt. The fabric is UV-resistant and keeps its tension instead of sagging in the middle after two seasons. The result is a chair you put away not because it's got tatty, but because autumn's coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLooking after it is correspondingly quick. After a dusty day, the garden hose does it; stubborn dirt comes off with mild soap and a soft brush. After salt or sand, make a point of rinsing it off so nothing stays in the joints. Don't store it in constant sun, or the colour fades, and that shows faster on Navy than on Seafoam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe YETI Hondo camping chair gets bought by people whose weekend happens at a circuit, a meet or a campsite pitch, and who arrive there rather than just drive past. For a hiking trail it's too wide and too heavy, and for a camping weekend with three moves there are lighter options. As a folding chair that stands next to the same car for ten years, it's hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour choice is more practical than it sounds. Navy swallows dust, handprints and the grey film a gravel car park leaves on everything. Seafoam looks better next to a dark car but shows every mark. If you mostly use the chair, take Navy. If you set it out because it's meant to match everything else, take Seafoam. You'll find the same thinking across the whole \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/yeti\"\u003eYETI range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trick no manufacturer writes down is about loading up. People tend to lay the folded Hondo across the painted boot lip and slide it in, and that's exactly when the two aluminium runners drag two fine scratches into the clear coat, which you only spot in the evening under raking light. Lay an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yeti-outdoor-decke-lowlands-blanket\"\u003eoutdoor blanket\u003c\/a\u003e over the edge, or genuinely lift the chair for the last 20 centimetres. It's the same reflex that stops you resting your camera on the wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 FOTO 4: LINEUP — Hondo in Navy und Seafoam nebeneinander aufgeklappt vor der offenen Heckklappe, Getraenkehalter jeweils eingehaengt\n     Dateiname: d1_yeti-campingstuhl-hondo-base-camp-chair_lineup.png\n     Alt-Text: \"YETI Hondo Campingstuhl in Navy und Seafoam nebeneinander vor der offenen Heckklappe\" --\u003e\n","brand":"YETI","offers":[{"title":"Navy (Blau)","offer_id":58253344637263,"sku":"D1-YET-70000003252","price":340.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Seafoam (Türkis)","offer_id":58253344670031,"sku":"D1-YET-70000006105","price":340.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/hondo-base-camp-chair-campingstuhl__70000003252.png?v=1788190838"}],"url":"https:\/\/detiiling1.com\/collections\/yeti-campingstuehle.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
