NEMO's Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair is the ultralight, ultra-packable backpacking chair we've always wanted. The Moonlite only weighs 1lb 2oz and packs down small, so we don't have to sacrifice pack weight or pack room to pack along a camp chair for backcountry comfort. The straps blend high tenacity polypropylene and Dyneema for an ultralight yet durable system to adjust our seating angle from upright to reclining positions, and the aluminum frame provides maximum support at a minimum weight to support hikers and campers up to 250 pounds. This chair also features a unique carrying case that double as stability platform that prevents the chair from sinking into sandy beaches and campsites.

Awesome Camping Chair! Super Lightweight & Durable
The Moonlite Elite Chair is awesome!! I've used this thing a couple times now both car camping and while hiking. It's super comfortable (especially with the adjustable cords on the side) and it's incredible compact and lightweight. I've owned other very similar camping chairs and none of them pack down this small or are nearly this light. Great product!

Beyond Expectations
I do a lot of self support packraft/kayaking trips and I always bring a chair. It's a luxury for sure, but with one this light and compact it's easy to find space for it.

Out the box, good so far
Just got the chair, took a little to figure out setup and then it 'clicked'. Comfy to sit in and is easy to adjust. Can't wait to load this up on the bike and go camping.

Delightful and Innovative
I never thought I'd be so surprised and impressed by a camp chair. Over the last many years camp chair designs have funneled into a few archetypes and this chair first seemed like just another ultra-light chair among many. But every time I used it I liked it more. The matt/stowaway bag is what really sets it apart for me. The matt holds the chair legs and keeps them from splaying, making for a more durable/stronger chair (a common weakness among ultra-light chairs). It also prevents the chair legs from sinking into sand or loose soil (perfect for a 7-day beach backpacking trip I took this summer). I love being able to recline the chair with the suspension system. Chair goes up, chair goes down, all night around the campfire. Overall, I think this chair is unilaterally superior to all other ultra-light chairs and most regular and car camping chairs.

First thoughts
Out of the box, stupid easy set up. Pretty freaking light and surprisingly comfortable for my 6’1” 210lb butt. I bought this chair to replace my glassing pad and get off the freezing ground during the late season hunts. It showed up after the season ended but my thoughts are: -assembly and disassembly is quite loud. Not ideal for glassing sessions in the back country, but maybe practice makes perfect. -$50 more and 100g heavier then another competitors lite chair, which I accept as the carrier acts as a solid footprint and likely the cause for the added weight. I will definitely follow up with a review after a season of use if I can make it quiet!

This chair is near perfect
It’s light, easy to take anywhere. Though i wouldn’t take it backpacking cause, i can’t spare the extra pound. It does not really need the extra wrap or the wraps double use as holding the legs secure. Take it to every pickleball court i go to and sit comfortably throughout the day. By the way, this is comfortable! Really comfortable and not hard to get in or out of. Love it. Now just make it 8 oz. And i will take it backpacking!

Might Be the Best Backpacking Chair
I have only used this chair a few times so far. You might say with a title like that, why only 4 stars. I just don't find it as comfortable as the old model I had tried out from a friend. That said, there are a lot of pros to this chair that I love. You can't beat the weight (it is great), it can be used on any surface using the mesh base, gets you off the ground, and IT ADJUSTS!! That to me was the deciding feature to get this chair. Most backpacking chairs are fixed in a leaning manner. I am getting old and don't always want to lean (especially when eating). It is nice to be able to adjust it in a more upright position but have the option to lean back, put my feet up, and take a nap (told you I am getting old).

Worth its weight every trip
Love this chair for every back packing trip! It weighs next to nothing, drys out fast if I want to sit in the creek, and is comfortable for reclining and putting my hankies up after a long hike. Also, we take this on our car camping trips for our kido and she loves it! Thanks guys! Love your products!
