REI Flexlite Chair

I overlooked the wobble in favor of size and weight. However, my mesh developed a rip, not due to weight (I'm 160 lbs) or misuse. There is NO customer service! These chairs are not cheap, and there are NO resources for replacement parts. REI will not replace them after one year. Youngone Corp who manufactures the chair is impossible to contact. There is NO customer service or even an email. So they are essentially a $90 throwaway. Shame on those that preach sustainability or carbon footprint.    … Full review

Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair Kit

The Trekker Chair Kit is a relatively light and supportive supplement to your air mattress so you can lounge around camp at the end of a long day. It packs away in a small roll, adapts to different sized pads, and provides decent lower back support. It could be a bit taller in the back, and is usable but not overly comfortable on its own without a pad. As it’s a seat on the ground, it fits well for lounging around in your shelter but would get dirty sitting around camp and takes a little while… Full review

Therm-a-Rest UltraLite Cot

This is excellent for side-sleepers! I can sleep through the whole night and wake up refreshed with no soreness. Packs down reasonably small and is reasonably lightweight. I have used it for backpacking. (Note: This is the newer version that's green, with crescent moon shaped side supports, not the full circles.) I am a side sleeper and I have had difficulty sleeping on traditional sleeping pads that backpackers use. I typically wake up multiple times each night, tossing and turning, and in the… Full review

Helinox Chair One

The chair is lightweight, simple to put together, and keeps you off the cold/wet ground. I’m a solid 240lbs and wasn’t worried at all regarding the structural integrity of the chair. They boast a 320lb-rating and I see no reason to question those specs. The reason for only 4-1/2 stars was due to the legs wanting to sink in the soil...larger feet pads could help eliminate that. Overall a great addition to one's gear closet! The chair is lightweight, simple to put together, and keeps you off the… Full review

Helinox Chair One

These chairs are light, pack small, and are pretty comfortable. Who says they are not for backpacking? I take mine on every trip. Just wait until you get a little older. A chair changes everything when it comes to comfort in the outdoors. Easy to set up. Works like it is supposed to. Well made. The first thing I do at the end of a day on the trail when backpacking is take off the pack, set up the chair, and sit down and take off the hiking boats and slip into a pair of crocs. That is living.  On… Full review

Helinox Ground Chair

Chair's OK. Went on a backpacking trip in Mammoth Cave NP two years ago with a friend. He had the chair, I didn't. I used it more than he did and bought it from him when we returned. Was better than sitting on the ground or a log but the angle of the back was uncomfortable for me. Full review

Helinox Ground Chair

A well-engineered balance of light weight, comfort, and functionality. Gets you off the ground, but low enough to use in a tent or vestibule. The stable base won't sink into soft ground. Extra insulation needed for cold weather use or to protect tent floor. Some backcountry campsites have features that provide natural seating. While a rock or a log to sit on stool-wise is a good start, for my part I want something that I can lean against: a big tree that curves gracefully into its roots or a boulder… Full review

GSI Outdoors Micro Table

I purchased this table in January of 2017. It was very easy to set up and packs very small. When set up it give enough room to set up your meal without having to put stuff on the ground . If you use a hammock it's the correct height to make coffee while in the hammock. Full review

Helinox Cot One

Lightweight, capable cot made of quality material. After spending some time basically living in the mud during Hurricane Maria response, I opted to never sleep making direct contact with the ground. I decided a cot is what I needed. This being the case, I chose the Helinox Cot One and could not be happier, nor can I sleep any sounder. First off, the thing is extremely lightweight, coming in at just 2 lbs. 9.6 oz. Its dimensions make it a perfect fit for vertical attachment to my bugout bag and… Full review
