The Terralite chair is the same weight as several other chairs here in the list. So this tells you that the competition is very strong here. What sets this chair apart is the fact that it comes with a spare set of Terragrip feet, you can see them in the picture. You will use them when you plan to use the chair on a soft surface. They will give you good stability even on sand. This chair is here in the list because of its weight, so you have 2 lb (907 g) when it is in its carry bag. Hence, this is indeed a portable chair as its name suggests. In fact, it is light enough to be carried on the trail. This Skyline UL Chair is from a new series launched by this brand for the 2019 season. In fact, you can see several of the chairs from this series here in the list. Their common feature is the absence of plastic hubs at the places where the segments of the poles connect to each other.

If you’re wondering what makes the NEMO Moonlite Reclining Camp Chair different from your current camp chair, you’re not alone. We had that same question ourselves. And as we came to find out, there’s actually quite a lot separating the Moonlite from your average, run-of-the-mill camping chair.With a weight of 992 grams, this Mica Chair is just under the limit of 1 kg which I set for this list of chairs for the trail. So it is not the lightest option but this is a unique design with an all-metal frame, there are no plastic hubs here. But the setup was just the appetizer. Sitting in the Moonlite was the main course, and it did not disappoint. The seamless mesh is supremely luxurious to sit in for long periods of time, comfortably conforming to your body, rather than you having to conform to the shape of your seat. The price: The price difference can be huge. But there are top brands here and this has a price, you will see that some offer a lifetime warranty for their chair. Compared to the lightest model, this chair is still a decent amount heavier. So those who are ultra-conscious about going ultralight may find the 29 ounces too heavy. We also found that the space-saving hubless pole design takes slightly more time to assemble than the hubbed pole models, but only by around 10 seconds, so we're splitting hairs here. All in all, this is the seat we'd most like to end up in at the end of a long day. But if you're looking to shave off some weight, the 2 ounce Therm-a-Rest Z Seat is the lightest in our lineup. Seat height: 44cm / dimensions: 86 x 58 x 10 cm / hand-wash / reclining and foldable. BUY NOW: DECATHLON.CO.UK

Trail chairs that are low to the ground like the Helinox Ground Chair can be very difficult to get up from. We generally aim for chairs that have a seat height of 10″. Much lower and you’ll want to add deep squats to your weekday workouts to get in shape to get up from your trail chair. But this is one of those things that varies from individual to individual. If you don’t mind crawling in the dirt, a low chair or sit pad may be perfectly suitable for you. Seat Width The chair is intuitive to set up; the bungee cord draws the poles into place, then attach the mesh sling over the poles, and you are ready to relax.Dimensions are mat-dependent / regular weight: 230g / large weight: 280g / lightest chair without legs: 230g. BUY NOW: SEATOSUMMIT.CO.UK The Nemo Moonlite is probably the most stable, with the Big Agnes Skyline UL and the partially reviewed Helinox Chair One coming in second. The Helinox Chair Zero comes in third, although it needs to be on a relatively flat surface to be stable. The Alite Monarch and REI Flexlite kind of tie for last place. The Monarch actually feels more stable once you are seated in it, and the REI wobbles all the time. Durability True to our mission of sustainability, Moonlite uses 100% post-consumer recycled materials for the webbing and mesh, while the reclining hardware and seat mesh are bluesign® approved.

Premium forged 6061 series aluminum hubs and oversized 7001 series aluminum tubes are built for a lifetime of stability and reliability Was looking around for some detailed comparisons of these two beauties and couldn't really find much, doesn't help that the chair .5 isn't a thing( for those that don't know what that is). So I decided, screw it... I'll do it myself. I already own the chair .5 (chair 0, too low!) so a nabbed the moonlite to compare the two (REI return policy for the win).But your priorities may differ considerably from mine, if you’re looking for a sturdy trail chair that can be safely used by anyone in your family, young and old, for big and tall folks, or ones who are more fragile, the NEMO Moonlite Chair is as good as it gets. We’ve also put a ton of time on the Helinox Chair One and Chair Zero. Our comparably heavy friend TJ, as mentioned, also put many evenings on his Chair Zero with no issues before he upgraded to the Moonlite—strictly for comfort. That’s pretty great, considering it’s one of the lightest options. Legs design: This is one important feature which you should bear in mind when you decide about the top features mentioned above. The seamless seat design is made possible by custom-engineered asymmetric mesh that conforms better to different body shapes These are quite expensive items, constructed from ultra-lightweight yet durable materials, only the most reliable models from renown brands are presented here.
