Total Tackle Special: Chub Cloud9 Range

The new Cloud9 range from Chub is aimed at the angler who seeks ultimate comfort and space for chilling out on the bank. Every aspect of all the products’ design is focused on achieving this, and as far as we can tell it’s done a sterling job.


For a kick-off, every item is generously upholstered. A 50mm-thick foam padding covers every inch of the supporting areas and it’s a supremely comfortable material. You almost become part of the products as the contours of your body are hugged and cushioned by the foam. The whole lot is covered in soft fleece too, which adds another layer of insulation and has an appealing tactile texture. The outer perimeters are all finished in Chub’s Climatex material too. This is fully breathable and waterproof; ideal properties for the outer reaches of any bedchair or chair.

A key feature of all the products is the impressive size-to-weight ratio. They are all noticeably light and are by no means downsized versions. Their frames are constructed from aluminium box section, which is not only lightweight but also strong and sturdy. The Jumbo versions are aimed at the larger angler, with the width of the bedchair measuring a whopping 98 centimetres! The frames are so robust that they won’t have any problems coping with supporting the stockier blokes out there. Also for relatively large items, particularly with the Jumbo 4-Leg bedchair, they fold away brilliantly, into flat, compact shapes. Their profiles when fully collapsed are surprisingly slim. This is a good feature because with larger items you would normally have to sacrifice much more space in the car.

As expected, the range boasts fully adjustable, swivel mudfeet as standard. They also have a clever push-lock system for extending the legs, so you’ll never have to risk trapping your cold fingers again! The wheel locks are also good quality and release easily. To cap it  off, everything is supplied with a waterproof cover in case of sudden downpours and to keep them clean when not in use. A nice touch is the external pockets on the reverse of the backrests, which are for storing the covers and will accommodate a few other small items. If you’re someone who likes to kick back on the bank, you’ll struggle to find a more comfortable range of bankside furniture.
