We recently bought 2 of the Hawaii recliners in GoOutdoors but only after comparing them to the Lafumas in store. I sat in both and tbh I preferred the Hawaii's because they are firmer. Can't be doing with saggy seats. Also compared the build quality and could not see much if any of a difference. They look like they came out of the same factory. Others will probably disagree but at the end of the day I got the chairs I found most comfortable. ymmv.
My advice would be to go and haver a good sit on them and any others that take your fancy before parting with your cash.
The Hawaiis are quite often on special offer, They were £70 each but we bought them on the extra 15% off everything night.
Totally agree with the above, sat in both the Hawaii and a Lafuma and preferred the Hawaii, I would definitely go and try one. If someone was to remove the labels and ask me to pick the most expensive one I would have picked the Hawaii. Im not keen on the new light blue colour though. I thought they were better made than the Lafumas because they didn't creak and felt sturdier. They are heavier though so this might be an issue. We've had ours for 5 years now and they are good as new, apart from the odd beer stain We got ours on special off at £50 each which was less than half of the cost of a Lafuma. I'm not knocking Lafumas in any way but I just found they were over priced compared to the Hi Gear.
