Product Information

And, even though the chair is tilted back further than the Chair Zero, its shallow depth also makes the sitter feel under-supported and a little like they may slip from the seat. We put the chair and the stool through our rigorous testing criteria to evaluate their overall performance and functionality, design and construction, our own user experience and value for money and overall, both the OEX Camp Chair and Stool performed well on all 4 benchmarks giving them a 4 out of 5 fireside rating. It is one of the heavier models we tested, but with that weight comes more of the comfort and stability one expects to find in a “real” chair. The actual fabric seat part (not the frame) is made of an “asymmetrical mesh” that is unlike anything else I’ve experienced with a camp chair. Instead of the usual reinforced sleeve for the frame’s arms to slide into, NEMO has gone with “Y-molded ball-and-socket connectors” which snap into place.

In terms of the remaining options—which happen to be the three we’d classify as ultralight camp chairs—we were also a little torn. Start at our worldwide routes map to dig into our detailed guides with GPS maps and inspiring photography. From a performance point of view, we were really impressed at how comfortable the Ultra Lite Chair was, even for our taller testers who may have had to get down lower to the ground than others, but still found the deep seat could accommodate their weight well.The chair is lightweight and small in its pack - I found it a bit tricky to get the material over the frame the first time I used it but I left it up for about a week and now it goes together really easily.

We have over 300 original and curated bikepacking routes in our global network spanning nearly 50 countries. The stool sits much lower than a standard camping chair so getting up and down might pose a challenge for those of us who are not as supple as we should be! In terms of comfort, the biggest advantage of the Skyline UL is that its seat is more elevated than those of the other chairs, which makes getting into and out of the chair a lot easier. We’ve had the Alite Monarch since 2012, and it went on a multi-month trip through Mexico and Central America; it also has fewer breakable parts. 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.It’s also stable enough for my much larger frame to sit, but I haven’t sat continuously for more than a couple hours at a time.

They don't tell you that you have to unhook the front spars to get the bag on; the spars point outwards and the loops on the bag fit the narrowest part. I have seen too many of the more expensive (twice as expensive) big name chairs sink into soft ground, rendering them utterly useless. 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.New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . The mesh provides some air circulation but, more importantly, allows for a little extra stretch where it’s most needed—at the hips.
