Helinox Chair Zero

A Backpacker Gear of the Year award winner, the Helinox Chair Zero earns its reputation as the gold standard in ultralight packable camp chairs.

At just over a pound and packing down smaller than a water bottle, this is the chair you bring when weight and space are non-negotiable. The DAC aluminium alloy frame delivers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, holding up to 265 lbs without adding meaningful grams to your load. A single internal bungee cord self-assembles the poles, so setup at camp is fast and frustration-free after a long day on the trail or water.

The seat and carry sack are both made from UV-resistant ripstop polyester built to handle sun, rain, and the general abuse of backcountry travel across Canada's varied conditions. Both are machine washable, which is a small but genuinely appreciated detail for extended trips. For canoe trippers, backpackers, and bikepacking adventurers where every ounce is accounted for, the Chair Zero consistently proves its worth.
