Review: Awesome, considering its size and weight - It's a lightweight, comfortable chair. Don't expect it to be your TV room couch :) I bought one and liked it so much we bought a second one for my wife. PRO: - Lightweight, easy to carry - Sturdy - Small - about a 1 liter Nalgene bottle - Puts you at a good level for tending a fire, cooking on a camp stove on the ground, and similar activities. CAVEATS: - Legs may sink in a little on soft ground. If it does, get up and shift it a little to a new spot. - Works best on level surfaces. If you're on a slope, you will either tend to slide out the front of the seat, or tip over backwards. A manageable situation. - Getting in and out. Because this is so low, you may want to modify your technique for getting in and out. To sit down, I straddle a corner of it, heels close to the seat, and sit. To stand up, forget leaning forward and getting up like usual. I find it much easier to turn toward a corner, scooch closer to the corner, bring your heels all the way back almost under the chair - this puts them under your behind. Standing up is a whole lot easier that way with your legs lined up on your center of gravity. CONS - It IS mesh, so if there's a cool breeze blowing, this won't block much of it. Dress appropriately or use a Z Seat.
Review: Most comfortable backpacking chair at good weight - This is so much more comfortable for me than the Chair Zero. The Chair Zero to me is flexible, and it would clamp down on my thighs and hips, and feel wobbly and unstable. I am reasonably trim. The Chair Zero L fixes all of those issues with the Chair Zero (and probably the replacement Chair Zero LT) by taking the sizing of the Chair One, and making it lighter weight. I found the Chair Zero L to be more comfortable than the REI Flexlite Air, REI Flexlite, and Nemo Moonlite Elite. It's a little heavier (4-7 oz heavier) than the very lightest chairs, but the more generous sizing, comfort, and stability are worth it in my opinion.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is Chair Zero a rocking chair?**
A: No, and we don't have a compatible Helinox Rocking Feet accessory for it. If you want a rocking chair, you can choose Chair One series, Sunset chair (re) or Savanna chair together with a pair of compatible rocking feet.

**Q: Can it be used in a windy weather? Will it be blowed away easily if it's so lightweight?**
A: You can use Helinox lightweight chairs in a windy weather with the help of our Chair Anchor which pushes easily into dirt, sand, or turf to create a safe, secure anchoring system.

**Q: Is the standard Chair Zero durable enough for rugged backcountry use?**
A: Yes. It features a highly durable 100D Aramid polyester ripstop fabric that resists tears, punctures, and abrasions from rocks or twigs. This is paired with premium, anodized DAC aluminum poles that won't snap under pressure.

**Q: Who is the Helinox Chair Zero best for, and what is it ideal use for?**
A: Best for average adults up to 5'11" who prioritize cutting pack weight but want a functional backrest, it is ideal for long-distance thru-hiking, multi-day backpacking treks, alpine base camps, and minimalist bikepacking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable, Light, Stable.
*by M***E on May 19, 2025*

I don't often take a chair with my on longer trips, but I certainly have enjoyed taking this one on my day hikes (2-13 miles). It's so light you don't notice and is very steady (especially with optional ground cloth I picked up somewhere - prevents legs from sinking). This chair works very well, very stable, easy to set up, feels like nothing in my pack. It's so nice to pull up to a river after walking 5-10 miles, sit comfortably and brew some coffee. 100% would buy again. For me, using the ground sheet (can't remember if this was included or if I bought separately) is a must have - probably for any chair to keep the legs from sinking into loose soil or sand. Have to admit it looks sharp as well and fits me - 5'11" and 230 pounds without compliant. Oh, folds up nicely and not a struggle to slip it into my day pack.
