Product Information

But, especially as the years go by, lots of us find there’s not much that can beat the comfort a good chair provides after a long day in the saddle. We inspire and inform through original bikepacking routes, stories, and coverage of the gear, news, and events that make our community thrive. However the seat material is quite flimsy and during camping the two top corners gave way, the upright struts had worked through the canvas corners. The chair has a surprising amount of stability considering how light it is and allowed us to move and comfortably shift positions without any wobbling or fear of tipping over.

What’s more, the mesh breathes well, and the low-profile sides make it so wider hips can relax without being squeezed.It’s also important that if a foot gets stuck in the dirt, you must check that the joints are properly seated if you move the chair. The small feet are apt to sink into soft surfaces, but Helinox has additional stability accessories available for purchase to increase surface area. And, most of them have experienced a few welterweight friends borrowing them on our many socially distant overnighters over the last year and a half. Unfortunately our local Cotswold Outdoors has closed so not much chance of going and sitting on one! The Ultra Lite chair was really comfortable with a "bucket" style seat which allows you to push right back into the chair and it's ergonomic design ensures that your back has the support required.

The width of the seat is a little narrower than some of the other chairs, so hips are hugged just a bit, but the cut-outs that run from the flank to the mid-buttocks on either side of the sling allow for some rear expansion.These ball and socket connections rotate just slightly, so, instead of a very static position, this sling moves slightly with body repositioning. One clever extra is the "sink mat" which not only protects your tent floor but also gives you an extra grip on uneven ground adding to the stability of the chair.

Was tight to assemble first time as many reviews highlight but mine is now more than a year old and is fine. I am sure this chair will last as it's really well made but you need to be a stronger person than me to put it together. While not a big deal, I mention this because it’s the only chair this has happened to me with, and it’s happened more than once.In the reclined position, the decreased tension on those straps makes it more comfortable to rest the arms upon them. Alternatively, one could place the chair legs on rocks or bits of bark to help disperse weight and prevent sinking.
