Helinox Chair One Original Lightweight Compact Collapsible Camping Chair
The Helinox Chair One is the gold standard for ultralight camp seating — weighing just 1 lb 15.5 oz and folding down smaller than a soda bottle. Its proprietary DAC aluminum alloy frame holds up to 320 lbs while the single internal bungee cord self-assembles the poles in under a minute. The breathable ripstop polyester seat keeps you cool on summer days, and the chair sits at a comfortable 9-inch height. Wirecutter's top pick for portable camp chairs, backed by a 5-year warranty.
