I need a lightweight chair and the internet is telling me either the REI chair, the Helinox Zero or the Nemo Moonlight Elite Does anyone have any experiences with these? Which should I get, I want to grab something soon I'm not very big so I considered the REI chair, but I see people complaining about stability Are they just fat? I'm a regular manlet, would the REI chair be alright?
sit on the ground or squat
let me guess, you "need" more?

I highly recommend sitting in whatever chair you want to buy before buying it. I ordered a Travel Chair Joey (about $60 a couple years ago) because so many reviews said it's great for big people. Well, I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs so I figured it would be good. Hell no. It's like trying to sit on a 6" ledge, my ass just slides forward. The thing is light as a feather and pretty stable, I'll give it that. I've sat in chairs at REI that actually were very comfy but expensive, can't remember which ones though.
>>2716818The Nemo Moonlite Elite is great, but way too expensive. The groundpad is an excellent touch though. The REI Flexlite Air is pretty good, but it squeezes your ass a little. The Helinox Chair zero is more comfortable than the REI chair, but more expensive.Personally, I'd go with the REI chair. You can always return it and go for one of the other ones if you want. >>2719515This probably weighs 3lbs and will break instantly>>2719564The point of a chair is to get you off of the ground. If I wanted a sit pad, I'd buy a sit pad. Save the crazy creeks for the canoes
>>2720850>This probably weighs 3lbs and will break instantlyit's 2lbs and very sturdy, to my surprise. I can lean right back in it.it's also a tenth of the price of the chairs OP listed.
>>2719515I broke this one after two years (my fault), bough larger one for 30€ this time. How do you carry them? On carabiner strapped to backpack? Inside backpack? Since it's quite large packed, takes up a lot of space in my backpack. Hammock, chair, underquilt, bugnet, tarp, blanket - and my backpack is pretty much full.
Bring a hammock instead. You can sit in it and much more, and it will be lighter.
>>2722031I strap mine to the side with the compression straps. wouldn't fit inside, my pack is only 40L.
