The Sunset have way more back support than the Chair One.....glad we went this way as they are not all that bigger in size (space is tight) and comfortable enough for us...well a good compromise.
At the 70th in Comma a couple had Sunsets, this gave us a chance to sit in them as a tester.
Next time you are in a reasonable Western town check out the local bushmen's outfitter. There are still a few shops that cater to pastoral workers, drovers, ringers, musterers etc. The gear including clothing is usually sturdy and durable. You might not need spurs or a 16' stock whip unless you play robust boudoir games but they have billies, camp ovens, swags, and much else. Do keep the spurs off the water bed.

Ive had the Aldi Sunset copy for about 12 mths. I keep it in the car and use it quite regularly. But haven’t used it daily on an extended trip. I’m sure the Sunset version would be better quality but the Aldi version is ok for me. Don’t tell my wife, but I’m about 100kg. It hasn’t broken yet.
I also bought their hiking stove. Again very happy with it for occasional use.

Most reasonable size Western towns once upon a time had bushmen's outfitters plus clothing retailers and drapers that had sturdy durable country type work clothing, boots, hats, etc. If you are in Winton check out Searle Bros. in Elderslie St. between the Aussie and the Tatts. There is also a very good country hardware store opposite the Tatts. I don't know if Cadell Drapers is still trading. Old Nell passed away a few years ago in her 90's. She used to go in every day but had stopped working decades ago. I have not been into the Longreach shopping strip for many years now the highway bypasses the town. There used to be good shops there too. Maybe most have closed with the economic state of the pastoral industry and drought causing depopulation. Longreach no longer is a pastoral town but a public service town. It does not ride on the sheep's back any more but on the public service pay slips. The other Western towns like Blackall, Tambo, Barcy may still have good bushmen's stores. It always pays to look around.
