We’ve been bringing lightweight camp chairs along on more relaxed overnight and weekend trips for a few years now, and Logan even brought one along on in a relatively minimal kit for a 10-day scouting mission as he pulled 80-90 mile days. It may not be the comfiest stool for long periods of time, but for short breaks, it performs extremely well. It would be a shame if it is discontinued as I find it great (but I've already got one so does not affect me).

It doesn't have legs, so it's low enough to use inside a tent, without doing the groundsheet any damage, provided that the tent isn't on rocky ground. However, we had two of them and broke one by sitting on it when one of the leg joints wasn’t all the way inserted, snapping a pole.Intereresting - have been considering such a thing but resisting the idea as my loading is bulky enough as it is. In fact, our friend TJ bought one after trying out our demo model; TJ is a large fellow at 6’5″ tall and 250 pounds.

This creates a true hammock effect versus a shallow bucket or bowl feeling, as the fabric doesn’t ride up on the sides of the thighs or hips at all. All of this is accomplished with minimal weight so the end products are ultra-lightweight, compact and functional. Start at our worldwide routes map to dig into our detailed guides with GPS maps and inspiring photography.As such, hips have ample room to spread, and arms can move freely, versus feeling pinned next to one’s sides. Crazy Creeks and other sling-type models support the back to some degree, but they’re at least as bulky and heavy as most legged chairs. Helinox was founded in 2009 by the owner of the Dongah Aluminum Company (DAC), the company responsible for making what are considered the gold standard of aluminum tent poles. I thought I'd save my review until I'd had this chair over 6 months and had given it some hammer and I can say it's still going strong.

In terms of the remaining options—which happen to be the three we’d classify as ultralight camp chairs—we were also a little torn. But, for many folks, the comfort of a reclining chair that offers good back support will easily make hauling the 939 grams (2 pounds, 1 ounce) well worth the effort. This chair looked really good as it folded small and I needed a small chair that packed up tight and was light weight. The Alite Monarch and Helinox Chair Zero are pretty close in weight, but we’ve generally found the Helinox to have the best comfort-to-weight ratio of the ultralight options—and perhaps any of the chairs.We also found that, when in the upright position, the Moonlite offers the best lower back support of any of the chairs we tested.
