Chair Zero

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.

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’m honestly surprised that I bought this chair as expensive as it is. But I fell victim to the ultralight sickness. I don’t really regret it. It’s so impressive to put this chair together and feel how light it really is. Even more impressive is that it is functional and strong. Obviously, this chair doesn’t have the height or stability of other heavier or more traditional camp chairs. But boy is it cool.

While it's lightweight and packs down small. The poles dig into my back and the structure of the base allows zero room to lean back comfortably without feeling like the chair wants to topple backwards. (This could be an issue related to my height) The fabric, while light is easily torn and was done so by a flat belt clip for a knife my much lighter friend at 120lbs had in their back pocket when they tried the chair. An easy mistake to avoid, but it tore nonetheless. So the fabric isnt that abrasion resistant and came apart on me after only 2 days of using at camp after a long day of being on the trail. This might work for someone lighter or not as tall however I'll be looking elsewhere. Perhaps the helinox zero high back or the big agnes ul. (Update) the helinox chair zero high back was exactly what I needed. It cradles perfectly and has room to lean into the chair. If you're taller, consider the high back!

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.

Super compact and lightweight. I am able to easily fit this into a bag on my bike (or even strap it to the frame) and ride to outdoor concerts and events. Setup takes a little bit of time, but it's not complicated and it works. I've set it up on grass and hard surfaces with no issues. Also packed it along for a bikepacking trip and was glad to have it. A buddy used one for a 5 day/4 night backpacking trip in the past and I was sold on it then. Got this one for a good discount (probably because of the color) but if it gets dirty I won't care.

Expensive, but shockingly light and more comfortable my old REI chair. No pockets, but that’s fine.

Acheter comme cadeau de Noel à mon mari qui randonne en vélo, et qui voulait une chaise peu encombrante et très légère pour mettre dans ses sacoches. Pari tenu, la Chair Zéro est la chaise la plus légère que j'ai trouvé sur le net. Très facile à déplier et à replier et en plus très confortable. Hélinox un matériel de qualité qui n'a plus à faire ses preuves. Achat à recommander +++++. L'envoi a été en plus très rapide.

Es una silla realmente ligera y compacta. Creo que si tienes unas posaderas realmente estrechas puede ser medio cómoda. Como tu trasero sea estándar tirando a delgado la silla es incómoda, no cabe bien la retaguardia y aprieta las caderas. Si eres de cadera ancha inevitablemente te tendrán que ayudar para sacarte la silla si no te la quieres llevar puesta. Silla cómoda únicamente durante 3min para gente de tamaño estándar tirando a delgado. A partir de ahí ya te quieres levantar. No se encuentra una postura cómoda. Estáis advertidos.

the perfect lightweight hiking chair. stable and comfortable, it packs down into a small package that fits in your backpack easily. really useful and great at the end of a long hike, i can even sit in it and still fit under my 1-man tent awning
