Review: Helinox Chair One RE

After years of packing around the same bulky, heavy, half-broken camp chair, I was hungry for an upgrade. Enter the Helinox Chair One RE, a lightweight, easily packable chair that lives in the trunk of my car and comes everywhere with me like a trusty, reliable sidekick. Whether I'm posted up lakeside with a good book or fireside with a roasting stick in hand, the Chair One keeps me comfortable thanks to the retention design which distributes my weight evenly across the chair. The sturdy, high-performance polyester structure and shock-corded aluminum pole frame allow for quick, easy assembly, and the whole thing packs down into a zippered case I can throw under my arm. The integrated side pocket keeps my phone and bear spray close by, allowing me peace of mind as I kick back. From the park to the lake and anywhere in between, you'd best bet I’ll be sittin’ in style and comfort. Available at helinox.com; $120.
