Big Agnes Skyline Ultralight Backpacking Chair for Fast and Light Adventures, Black

Product Information

The best thing about this small hiking chair is it’s super light and folds up super small – it weighs around the same as a small bottle of water and takes up the same amount of space, weighing just 1 lb 03 oz or 490 grams. The frame is made from lightweight aluminum alloy and can handle a max weight capacity of 265 lbs. Big Agnes was created over 20 years ago. Giving them plenty of time to adapt and design a range of gear that’s sure to make even hotel lovers book a camping trip. We’ve also put a ton of time on the Helinox Chair One and Chair Zero. Our comparably heavy friend TJ, as mentioned, also put many evenings on his Chair Zero with no issues before he upgraded to the Moonlite—strictly for comfort. That’s pretty great, considering it’s one of the lightest options. One of the major features of comfort is height. Getting in and out of chairs that are on or close to the ground can be a pain, especially for those with hip and knee issues. Additionally, when the knees are level with the hips, as opposed to higher than them, it's easier to be comfortable for a longer period of time. While the Skyline isn't the tallest chair we tested, it's much higher than competitors in the same price range. One thing to pay attention to is the height of the chair off the ground if you do not want to be too low to the ground.

Our team defines "value" as the meeting point between performance and price. Some products have superior comfort or versatility, but do their costs justify their performance? Others may be very affordable, but does their performance lag?If you’re looking for the very lightest hiking chair (if you can call it a chair), then you’ll love the Therm-a-rest Z-seat pad. Big Agnes’ Skyline UL Chair is the most like a traditional basecamp chair. 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. Big Agnes' Skyline UL Stool is an ideal piece of kit for carrying on day walks, having around camp or even just having in the car for traveling with.

I love this chair for camping trips. It is the best lightweight camping chair, especially where you want a proper chair to relax in at the end of the day but are tight on space and extra weight. Not suitable in damp or sandy environments, since you’ll have to sleep with the sleeping pad at the end of the day The inspiration behind the brand was simple. Create quality camping gear to help campers feel comfortable when out in the wilderness. The aim was to help people continue to grow their love of the outdoors and continue to seek out new outdoor adventures.
