At Home, Anywhere

Since 2009, Helinox has brought comfort outdoors by designing premium packable furniture and accessories, so that you can be At Home, Anywhere.

Furniture is meant to travel, so we’ve designed ours to be portable, durable and beautiful as well as comfortable. That means you can relax when you’re backpacking deep in the woods, sitting on an urban rooftop, lounging at the beach, car camping, or simply hanging out in the backyard.

Helinox Chair Zero

Ultralight Compact Camping Chair

The Helinox Chair Zero is the lightest, most compact camp chair from Helinox. It weighs just 1.1 pounds and packs smaller than a water bottle for easy transport in a backpack or bag. The chair frame is constructed from DAC aluminum alloy, and can hold up to 265 pounds. The chair seat and carrying sack are made from durable, lightweight, UV-resistant ripstop polyester. Setup is fast and easy, thanks to a single internal bungee cord that self-assembles the poles.

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the chair.

22 customers mention7 positive15 negative

Customers are mixed about the height of the chair.

"...The feet sink into sandy ground or certain other type of ground surfaces. And the groundsheet prevents that...." Read more

Great for backpacking
I lead my boys' scouting group and we do a lot of backpacking camping. I used to take a Thermarest pad and sit on a rock, but still that was tough on my old knees. This is a dream come true! A super lightweight chair (without the stuff bag, it weighs a pound and fits perfectly in the side pocket of my backpack.A little tricky to set up the first few times. Did not want to force the poles in the pockets for fear of ripping the pockets. Nice there are only 2 pieces though - the poles, which fold up, and the chair seat/back. Nothing to get lost!Not the most comfortable chair to sit in, but better than sitting on the ground. To ensure balance, it is best to stretch out the legs as opposed to keeping them close to the chair. The back is shorter than I would like for normal use, as I would love to rest my shoulders back after a day of backpacking. Regardless of these two design aspects, I love sitting in this chair vs. on the ground. I feel comfortable in the chair from the perspective of holding my weight (5'7" & 170 lbs). I can sit by a fire in this chair for hours and feel comfortable.For cold weather, I purchased REI's Flexlite Chair Underquit which fits the Chair Zero perfectly! The extra insulation is easy to put on and makes a big difference in freezing temps. It is also a lightweight quilt so does not increase the packweight.Overall, glad I have this in my kit to make backpacking more comfortable. Recommend!

La uso para dibujar con mi grupo de Urban Sketchers. Es un gustazo lo ligera que es, y la altura perfecta para aprovechar el suelo y hacer las mezclas de acuarela. La armo y desarmo en segundos. Es mi cuarta silla, y es la definitiva. Gracias Helinox, me declaro fan.

Habe etwas gehadert, wegen dem hohen Preisunterschied zu anderen Anbietern, aber mittlerweile hat er sich schon mehr als bewährt. Ein absoluter Gamechanger. Perfekte Höhe, um sich was zu kochen und super bequem zum chillen, ob am Lagerfeuer oder am See. Und weil so klein und leicht, ist er halt immer dabei (vielleicht im Gegensatz zu den schwereren Modellen) und weil so schnell aufgebaut, nutzt man ihn sehr oft. Lediglich bei sandigen oder erdigen Untergründen versinken die Beine schon schnell mal im Boden, aber das habe ich bisher immer einfach durch neues Umsetzen beheben können. Vielleicht ist aber auch irgendwann mal das Ground Sheet dran, was dieses Problem ja lösen soll. Dafür war ich bisher zu geizig, denn ich sitze selten stundenlang in dem Stuhl, wie Angler oder Jäger. Für die lohnt sich dann vielleicht auch eher die höhere Variante von Helinox.
