It weighs just 1.1 pounds and packs smaller than a water bottle (measures 4 x 4 x 14 inches packed) for easy transport in a backpack or travel bag. The chair frame is constructed from advanced DAC aluminum alloy for maximum strength-to-weight ratio, and can hold up to 265 pounds. The camp chair seat and carrying sack are made from ultra-durable, lightweight, UV-resistant ripstop polyester that holds up to harsh weather and the sun's rays. Both the chair seat and the included carry sack are machine washable (line dry). Setup is super fast and easy, thanks to a single internal bungee cord that self-assembles the poles. The assembled chair has a seat height of 8.5 inches, seat width of 20.5 inches, seat depth of 19 inches, and overall height of 25 inches. Ideal for outdoor activities like camping, backpacking, hiking and biking where weight is critical. The compact and ultralight Helinox Chair Zero is backed by a manufacturer’s five-year warranty.

Review: Awesome, considering its size and weight - 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.
Review: Comfortable, Light, Stable. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Similar chairs are very hard to pull the corner pockets of the seat over the rods. Does this have the same issue? Thanks**
A: It does.  There are a few solutions.  Here's one.:  Place the long rods of the seat back into the pockets first.  Place those ends on the ground, cloth side up.  One at a time bend the long rods using their leverage against the ground and grasping the shorter rods to do it.
HERE'S AN EXTRA PIECE OF INFO.:  This chair will sink into sand or dirt and spill you onto the ground.  It only stands on solid surfaces.  Helinox will sell you an accessory (for another $25-$30!! and more weight) to overcome this issue.

**Q: Where are these chairs made?**
A: According to the manufacturer, "Our furniture fabrics are produced in Vietnam and our aluminum poles are made in South Korea by Dac Poles. Our furniture is also assembled and packaged in Vietnam."

**Q: Is this chair comfortable for tall (>6') persons?**
A: I am 6'2 and weigh 230Lbs.  Given its intended use (i.e. for lightweight camping/backpacking), I consider the chair comfortable.  You can buy a more comfortable chair, but it will be considerably larger and heavier (IMHO).

**Q: Is this comfotable enough to sit on all day?**
A: Why would you want to sit all day?  It's bad for you! I just use this for backpack trips where weight is of prime importance.  It's the most comfortable chair for evenings at a backcountry camp with good back support for only 1 lb.  But I doubt it would be very comfortable for all day.  You'd want a bigger, cushier chair which would be much heavier.  If weight isn't important, get something else which will be more comfortable and less costly (you pay extra for that lightweight).  For backpacking, there's no better chair.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very lightweight, but a compromise in comfort and sturdiness. Great for backpacking.
*by C***R on November 29, 2023*

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...
