Helinox Grondstoel | Stabiel, ultralicht, verpakbaar, draagbare stoel voor backpacken, kamperen, wandelen, reizen, moto-touring (zwart)

I have only tried it in our house but I am impressed with its quality and how quickly it arrived. I think it will work well on the beach.

Bought it for the Latitude Festival and I’m three days in and sat on it right now. It’s very compact and fits easily into my small rucksack. It’s less fiddly to put away if I just put the foldaway legs back in the bag and the seat fabric stuffed in the rucksack. I’m 100kg and it’s very sturdy.

La llevo en la maleta de la moto, para cuando apetece hacer una parada y la verdad es que es comodísima. Yo mido 1,75m. y quizá para alguién más alto 1.85m. o más, el respaldo se le puede hacer un poco corto.

La sedia non corrisponde al modello descritto, ma è la chair one. Siccome la conosco e va bene non la sostituisco.

The older I get the less I was liking my sit pad for backpacking, so I began entertaining the idea of a lightweight chair - which I could also use for motorcycle, sea kayak, and e-bike camping... I had been hesitant to drop this kind of cash though, and have always avoided the kitchy-trendy gear. However, on a recent backpack trip a friend had a Helinox Chair (One or Zero I believe), and another buddy had the REI branded chair of similar design. So I tested them both. Of the two, the Helinox chair felt more sturdy and secure, but both had the pointy legs that dug into the ground no matter what the weight of the user. So in my continued research I came across this Ground Chair and was immediately attracted to the leg/foot design. It also weighed a bit less than the Chair One, and packed down a hair smaller than both the One and Zero chairs. And for the cash savings over the gram savings vs. the Zero Chair...well, here we are!I was surprised at the quality of the seat material and how well it was sewn together, with particular attention paid to the reinforcement of the corner pockets (where the chair frame is inserted). Very impressive! I was also very pleased with the sturdiness of the frame tubing and the feet. The quality of these components is superior to that of other similar designed off branded chairs that I've seen. Which makes me feel like my money was well spent here.I'm about 5' 5" and feel very secure in this chair. No wobble side to side at all. And it is very easy to get in and out of - I just simply grasp the back of the chair to steady myself on the way down. Likewise, gripping the chair back to push myself up and out keeps the chair from tipping forward. Perfect!The semi reclined position is very comfortable whether sitting with knees up or legs outstretched. And the one thing I noticed about sitting with my legs outstretched is that the height of the chair is just right to prevent strain behind the knees! I can also sit upright in the chair for cooking or eating by semi folding my legs under. The height of the chair is perfect so that I can do this without any portion of my legs touching the dirt.The chair, with storage sack, weighs in at exactly 23 ounces as advertised. I'm sure I'll replace the included rubber band with a velcro strap later on, but the chair folds n' rolls up easily to fit back into the storage sack (sack weighs .7 oz on its own). And the whole thing fits perfectly in one of my backpack's side stretch pockets, and also fits easily in my motorcycle's saddlebags.So, goodbye old sit pad! There's a new sheriff in town!
