Our verdict

An ultralight folding camp chair with an aluminum frame and a transport case. The seat is very low, so it suits relaxed camp seating more than tall stool use.

Overview

Folding down into a carrying case, this camp chair opens onto an aluminum frame with a ripstop polyester seat and an open back. Glide feet and a foldable form factor are listed.

Very low weight and a case make it easy to carry on a hike, and a five year warranty backs it. The limitation is a low seat and a hard floor surface recommendation, so soft sand or mud may be a poor surface.

Who it's for

Camp sites, trail breaks and outdoor events where a chair must travel in a pack. People whose knees or back make low seating hard should check the seat height first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very low weight
  • Carrying case included
Cons
  • Low seat height
  • Hard surface recommended
  • Teen and adult sizing only

Performance notes

A tensioned ripstop seat stretched over an aluminum frame carries the load through fabric tension, which allows the low weight. Glide feet help on hard ground but can sink into soft surfaces. Wipe clean care suits dusty camp use.
