Big Agnes Inc Unisex's Big Agnes Skyline Ultralight Backpacking Chair for Fast and Light Adventures, Black Camp Furniture, One Size

This chair has held up well over the past four years. It accompanied me to Philmont in 2021, and will do so again in 2025. It's a little heavier than other ultralight models from REI and Helinox, but definitely worth the extra weight. The REI chairs have a vertical support bar that makes them extremely tippy. I'm a bigger guy, and after watching dozens of spills from people much lighter weight than myself, I will never buy a chair with that design. The Helinox Chair Zero is a similar design to the Big Agnes Skyline UL, but the latter sits higher and can hold a little more weight. I find that it's much easier for me to get in and out of the Skyline UL, and more enjoyable and comfortable to sit in for extended periods. My Skyline UL has accompanied me on dozens of backpacking and camping trips. The bright yellow does show dirt, but it also doesn't heat up in the summer sun. When I'm backpacking, I leave my chair set up overnight and put my pack in the chair, then cover both with my rain cover. This keeps my pack off the ground and away from critters. I've learned a lot about my camping gear over the years - what works and doesn't work in various situations. I spent a lot of money on ultralight gear in the run up to my first Philmont trek, and I've made a significant investment in replacing things I didn't really like. I'll have a new tent, pad, and quilt system going into this next trek, but my Big Agnes Skyline UL has and will continue to serve me well.

The Big Agnes Skyline Ultralight Backpacking Chair has been a total game-changer on my hikes and camping trips! It’s comfortable, doesn’t sink into the grass, and gives me the perfect spot to rest after a long day on the trail. Setting it up and taking it down is a breeze, which is exactly what I need when I’m out hiking with my dogs or camping. Plus, it’s great value for money compared to other retailers. I couldn’t be happier with it—definitely recommend for anyone who loves getting outdoors like I do!

I'm tall and weigh over 100 kilos. This chair is compact and survived me. It wont work on mud or soft ground, but I doubt any foldimg chair would.

I took this chair on a 7 night backpacking trip and I am so thankful that I did. It’s easy to set up and very comfortable. Highly recommend

I guess since this matters, like a dating profile.. I'm about 5'9 and 165 lbs. So I did not even know these existed. I was just using my old tripod stool, thinking I was "packing light." My wife bought one of these, and I was like "what is that". Dude. As light as this thing is, with a full chair you can actually sit in? The technology we have today, these are CRAZY times. Some ultralight hikers would say "a pound is too much", but man... I can tell you that after a long hike, popping one of these up and sitting down beats the CRAP out of sitting on the ground or a log. Just truly magnificent. If you can spare a pound in your pack... just get this. I do like that it seemed like it was still fairly sturdy even though it was light. I saw some other models that seemed a little wonkey to me.... There are also a couple that are LIGHTER than this, but I feel like you're paying more, and also gambling with durability at that point. The fabric material of these really feel well made and strong. The poles are also good. I read that some people complained about them breaking- I wonder if they just "plopped" down in them like a living room chair. Personally, I would treat this like you treat your tent: it's designed to be durable, but at these ultralight weights, some care and grace go a long way. Set it up, and pretend like you're always going to break it... and maybe you won't break it ;) Awesome camping purchase.
