Why We Like The NEMO Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair
There's no need to rough it while we're backpacking, especially when luxurious comfort is as light and packable as the NEMO Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair. After a long day of logging miles on the trail, there's no greater relief than sitting down around the campfire while dinner heats up, and the seamless mesh seat supports us whether we're sitting upright or leaning back and enjoying the night skies. Ounce counters can enjoy the finer side of life as well, as the lightweight chair weighs only 1 pound and 6 ounces, including the carrying case, and the small pack size can be easily stashed in or on our pack.

Built extremely well and thoughtfully
I was between the Moonlite and the Moonlite Elite, but ended up going with the Elite because of how lightweight it is! I couldn't love it more! The bottom piece helps keep it sturdy on any terrain, which was a worry due to backpacking in some uneven spots. It's a great lightweight chair for backpacking and everyday use. I've brought it to the river a few times already, and it's great with a towel laid over it for comfort. The Original Moonlite is also a great chair, as I've borrowed it from friends and found it to be more supportive. But if you're looking for a lightweight chair for adventures, this is the chair for you! Almost forgot, I love the pull system that allows you to recline!

Light and sturdy
Great backpacking chair. For its size and weight, this chair can not be beat.

New Go-To
Great chair. The Helinox is now a hand-me-down. Reasons: the Nemo Moonlight Elite is more comfortable and sturdy. I particularly like the aluminum connectors, and the multipurpose sack/chair foot pad to help prevent sinking into loose soil.

Impressively Compact
5'4" 150 pounds I was incredibly surprised to see how small this packs up and how lightweight it really is. I have not been able to bring it out on the trail yet but I brought it houseboating and it was great to have - is took up very little precious space and was an excellent seat on the boat deck and when beached around a fire. A very versatile seat overall. A bit uncomfortable depending on how you sit - I suggest a thermorest cushion or something of the sort to protect your leg circulation. All things considered, very worth it for having a seat in the backcountry.

Lightweight and compact!
I own the original stargazer chair and was looking at getting a smaller lightweight one to take backpacking and camping. This one checks all the boxes. Super easy to assembled and I love the included footprint. I bought the bright yellow one and the color is awesome. Great job Nemo another great piece of gear!

Total Package
I haven't taken it backpacking, so can't speak to its utility on the trail. However, I have used it as a portable chair for things like fishing and resting between surf sessions and overall have been satisfied. It's not a lounger by any means but gets you off your feet and into a relatively comfortable seat. Pretty easy setup and great packability. Overall, I think it's a sturdy, versatile, well-designed chair.
