Why We Like The Chair Zero High Back
Updated with a taller, sturdier design and more neck support, the Helinox Chair Zero High Back Camp Chair continues to be one of the lightest camp chair options out there, but this time with more shoulder support. Best of all, it's extremely lightweight and packs down to the size of your water bottle so you can bring it just about anywhere, from deep in the backcountry to summer outdoor concerts.

Great chair
This is a great camp chair. The high back makes it very relaxing and comfortable. The design is such that it is easy to get in and out of.

Very light and comfortable chair. I took it out on a backpacking trip and one leg broke on the first trip. I’m about 210 lbs. Might be better for lighter guys. Good news though. Backcountry is replacing without issue. This is why I buy 90% of my gear from them. Great prices and great customer service. I will be a little more gentle on the replacement and hope for the best. I will say that there is a missed opportunity from Helinox though. The part that broken was a bottom leg and could have been easily replaced. But their website doesn’t have pipe parts only the seat material. I would have paid a few bucks to just keep the chair and replace the leg if that was an option. I give it 4 stars though overall.

Picked this out of 4 chairs

I did a side by side seat test on this chair, the Nemo Moonlight, Nemo Moonlight Elite and Big Agnes UL Skyline. They are all great chairs but the reasons I chose this was because I could slide down a little and my head could rest on the back, so I could actually take a snooze in this chair.....something you can't do with ANY of the other chairs. I'm 5'9", 180 so may not work for a taller, bigger person. The other reason is because this chair only weighs in a few ounces more than the Moonlight Elite. It's a LIGHT chair. AND the Helinox Ground sheet can also double as a bag for the chair since it has a strap on it. That will only add another 2oz over the original bag.
