Helinox Chair One Original Lightweight Compact Collapsible Camping Chair Black/Blue, 2.1lbs Outdoor Chairs, Camping Chairs for Adult,Portable Chairs for Outside, Backpacking, Picnic, Adventures

Perfect chair for those of us who hate standing on hard surfaces (e.g. parades, rallies, sports, etc.). Lightweight, easy assembly (does take a bit of muscle to get the sling onto all for attachment points), very sturdy and comfortable. Get the high back version if you want additional support. Ordered the cup holder, too. Comes with a nice storage bag with plenty of loops for attachment. Easy to fold and store when you're done. Very high quality shock poles, chair sling, and bag. Worth the extra cost over the cheap Chinese knock-offs.

I saw a similar chair like this at an REI store and immediately thought I had to have one for backpacking. I never thought that those tripod style chairs would be that wonderful for backpacking. You just as well sit on a log given where I backpack in the Colorado Rockies. I went home and started researching these chairs when I ran across the Helinox version. I saved my money and bought one thru amazon. I must say this chair is remarkable. I am 5'-10" and 250 pounds and I don't worry about whether this chair will hold up. It is practically bullet-proof in its construction. The pockets that receive the DAC rods where you'd expect the most stress are reinforced with a very strong material. The stitching reminds you of what you see on climbing equipment or high quality backpacks. Each of the 4 corners are reinforced with thick padding so that nothing pokes into your shoulders or thighs while you're sitting. The shape of the chair is perfect and comfortably seats your tired bum after a long hike. You could easily fall asleep in this chair. The DAC rod technology is amazing for its light weight and strength. The high impact plastic haunches where the rods come together is also well constructed and cleverly designed. You can set-up and take down the chair from its carry pouch in less than 30 seconds. It takes a bit of effort to force the rods into the pockets, but once they are in there you don't worry they will pop out. If there is one draw-back it would be that the chair feels a little wobbly when you first sit in it or shift around a bit. But that is least to be expected for a chair weighing less than 2 pounds. I don't believe it makes the chair unstable at all. It is good to have the chair on fairly level ground and depending on the soil the legs will sometimes sink into the ground. But in some cases that might not be all that bad. I like that it sits off the ground a little higher than the other chairs like this. It makes it easy to get in and out of, plus I think it enhances a more comfortable sitting position. Yes, this chair is a little pricey, but I have to say that it is one of the best $90 I ever spent. I am one of those backpackers that like to sacrifice a little weight for comfort and this is one comfortable chair. My hat's off to the designers of this one.

My husband and I enjoy going kayak camp at boat only access sites. The biggest challenge of kayak camping is that everything has to fit in the front and back storage areas of our kayaks, (not a lot of room). With the help of other reviewers here on Amazon, we have found some fantastic things perfect for backpackers or kayak campers, (tiny lantern that put out more light than our full sized lantern, small utensils for cooking/cleaning, smaller sized "nesting" cookware, etc). There was only one thing I felt I was missing ... I love to read, and wished I could find some sort of small camping chair. I almost didn't bother looking, because I figured there was no way I'd find something that was comfortable AND small enough to fit in the kayak storage compartment along with everything else we already had. I'm so glad that I looked!!! This chair is a miracle of engineering - it's super light, folds up really small, and is surprisingly comfortable to sit in! My hubby is a big guy, (approx 250 pounds) and I was a little dubious about their claim that this chair can hold up to 300 pounds, (I was even more dubious when the chair arrived - it was so light that I couldn't imagine it holding more than a child's weight). We were scared to even sit in the thing at first, but it held our weight then and we've had absolutely no issues or concerns with it during the half dozen or so trips we taken so far this summer. The chair can be packed away so small because the entire frame of the chair, (the blue legs and support areas of the chairs we bought) all break down, (you just pull the legs out of the black connecting pieces, and you end up with a bundle of same sized pieces of tubing, (kinda like tent poles). The seat just slides off and can be rolled up and put in the same small carry bag as the frame poles. (I wish I could explain this better ... hopefully there will be someone with more of an engineering background who can explain it more clearly.) I also hesitated on buying this chair because of the cost, (not cheap!) but it has been worth every penny! We can fit both chairs, (broken down into carrying/storage) in the front, (smaller) storage area of one kayak, along with our nesting cookware set and 2 blow up mattress, (which are also very small once they are rolled up and put into storage/carrying bag. It's pretty impressive - we couldn't be happier!

Light weight and easier to carry on hand. Con: It does not come with a strap. If that is a strap, I can swing this on my back whilst riding bike.

Me gusta dibujar y pintar en el campo, y he encontrado en esta silla una auténtica aliada para hacerlo con comodidad. Es increíblemente ligera y muy fácil tanto montarla como plegarla. Su curioso diseño le confiere una estabilidad infrecuente en las sillas plegables. Decisión segura.

Excelente compra
