Helinox Chair One

Ultralight aluminium camp chair — 960g, 145kg load rating, packs to 35cm

The Helinox Chair One is an ultralight camp chair weighing 960g that packs down to a 35cm stuff sack. It uses DAC aluminium pole technology and supports up to 145kg. The breathable mesh seat and low-profile design suit camping, hiking and festival use.

Our Verdict

Helinox revolutionised camp seating by applying DAC aluminium pole technology — the same used in high-end tents — to chair design. The result is a chair that weighs under a kilogram, packs into a 35cm stuff sack and sets up in under a minute, yet supports up to 145kg and is genuinely comfortable for hours of sitting. The breathable mesh seat keeps you cool in Australian summers. A huge range of accessories including footrests, side tables and replacement parts make it a long-term investment.
