Helinox Chair Zero Ultralight Compact Camping Chair

It is a really great product, much more conftable than Nemo Moonlight Elite, it is wider and the way they seam the stitches in key points are just amazing, still the king of light weight chairs. The setup is really easy, I am planning to take it on trail running adventures, so when I fold it fits in my poles quiver, just the skeleton, the seat and ground base in my vest.

I don't often take a chair with my on longer trips, but I certainly have enjoyed taking this one on my day hikes (2-13 miles). It's so light you don't notice and is very steady (especially with optional ground cloth I picked up somewhere - prevents legs from sinking). This chair works very well, very stable, easy to set up, feels like nothing in my pack. It's so nice to pull up to a river after walking 5-10 miles, sit comfortably and brew some coffee. 100% would buy again. For me, using the ground sheet (can't remember if this was included or if I bought separately) is a must have - probably for any chair to keep the legs from sinking into loose soil or sand. Have to admit it looks sharp as well and fits me - 5'11" and 230 pounds without compliant. Oh, folds up nicely and not a struggle to slip it into my day pack.

I bought the lightest chair I could find for backpacking and it fills the need! Backpacking with a chair is a bit over the top IMO, but I'm older now and have some back issues. After seeing others out in the wilderness with a chair, I just had to get one. I skimp on other areas in exchange for a chair. That said, to shave off weight, they had to exchange sturdiness and comfort which makes sense. You need to be careful so as not to tip over as the legs are pretty close together and I would give it 7/10 for comfort. But the only way to fix both these is to beef it up, thus adding weight. So if you looking for a super light camp chair to backpack that is far more comfortable than sitting on a rock or log, then this is for you. If you are car camping, I'd get a heavier one that is more stable and comfortable. I took this to Havasupai and it worked well. I will plan on taking it on more backpacking trips. It also is good if you want a super small/light chair to stuff in your car or store somewhere just in case, or if you are tight on space and want to pack a chair at the next outdoor event just in case. I'll give it 5-stars for the weight, but just know what you are trading (weight for stability and some comfort). Probably the most comfortable chair for it's weight though. Can't really compare this with heavier chairs, not apples-to-apples or fair to the manufacturer as it wasn't designed for car camping IMO. I'm pulling out my Tommy Bahama for car camping or concerts...

I have chronic pain, especially in my back, but I love to hike. This chair is exactly what I need for super long hikes to keep me from going into a pain crash. It’s very lightweight, so doesn’t add to the burden of my pack, and surprisingly provides very good back support. It’s perfect for hiking snack/water breaks.It’s also super easy to set up (I’m very bad at putting things together normally). The only complaint I have is that it has to be on a semi level surface in order to stay balanced. But it’s worth a little extra fiddling to keep the weight so low.

It's a lightweight, comfortable chair. Don't expect it to be your TV room couch :) I bought one and liked it so much we bought a second one for my wife.PRO:- Lightweight, easy to carry- Sturdy- Small - about a 1 liter Nalgene bottle- Puts you at a good level for tending a fire, cooking on a camp stove on the ground, and similar activities.CAVEATS:- Legs may sink in a little on soft ground. If it does, get up and shift it a little to a new spot.- Works best on level surfaces. If you're on a slope, you will either tend to slide out the front of the seat, or tip over backwards. A manageable situation.- Getting in and out. Because this is so low, you may want to modify your technique for getting in and out. To sit down, I straddle a corner of it, heels close to the seat, and sit. To stand up, forget leaning forward and getting up like usual. I find it much easier to turn toward a corner, scooch closer to the corner, bring your heels all the way back almost under the chair - this puts them under your behind. Standing up is a whole lot easier that way with your legs lined up on your center of gravity.CONS- It IS mesh, so if there's a cool breeze blowing, this won't block much of it. Dress appropriately or use a Z Seat.

This chair is incredibly easy to carry without adding too much bulk or weight to your pack. The setup is quick, and despite its light weight, the chair offers excellent comfort and support, making it perfect for relaxing after a long hike. It’s a great value for the price.

Initial review (indoors only):Pros:- Weight. Love how light it is!- Super comfortable. I have terrible posture and most seats are uncomfortable for me; not a problem with this one.Cons:- Stability. If you have your feet out, it's not an issue, but it rocks easily if you bring your feet in.Overall: Really excited to take it out on the trail; I'm so done with squatting on stumps :)

It's good for the weight, and it's far better than sitting on the ground. It does tend to sink into the ground, and it's a bit unstable, you have to kind-of center your weight properly or it could tip over. However all that is due to its very light weight and small package - so I am not taking any stars off. This thing is very nice.
