It’s not officially camping season yet, but we know that for many of you out there – it is ALWAYS camping season.
One of my favorite things after a hike, camp set-up, and potentially even a short trail run (I mean, we do love running) is to sit around the fire to disconnect, chat, cook food, or read a book. A nice chair makes the experience even nicer. There are many camping chairs out there, from little tripod stools to large loungers. The Helinox Chair Zero and Helinox Chair Zero L are perfect options for the trails – and as a relaxing post-run option as well. For those times you need to sit and be comfortable without getting your butt wet.
Helinox is a reputable outdoor gear company that has gained a solid reputation for producing high-quality and innovative products designed to enhance outdoor experiences. With a commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail, they focus on creating lightweight, portable, and durable gear for adventurers of all kinds.
After a long and strenuous run, having a comfortable chair to rest and recover is a game-changer. These chairs provide a supportive seat where us runners can relax and give our muscles a chance to recover. Additionally, the lightweight and compact design make it easy to bring along to races or running events, allowing us to have a comfortable seating option wherever the road may take us.
Both chairs are super lightweight – with the Chair Zero at 17 ounces and the Chair Zero L at 23 ounces. Both folds down to about the size of a running shoe! The main difference is that the L version is made to support larger bodies. There is a slightly wider frame, and the poles have a slightly larger diameter to accommodate the increased weight capacity. Both are made with a strong yet lightweight aluminum frame, making it easy to carry and perfect for on-the-go adventures. The fabric used in the seat is both breathable and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance even in rough terrains.
The chairs also feature reinforced stitching, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. They sit lower to the ground, so long-legged people like me, or those with mobility issues, may desire something a little taller as well. However, it’s really not a game breaker and perfect to have on hand for on-the-go excursions.
It is super easy to set-up:
- Begin by removing the chair from its carry bag. Unfold the chair, allowing the poles to slide into the attached holes.
- Locate the seat fabric and attach it to the frame by sliding each corner of the fabric onto the corresponding pole of the frame.
- That’s it.
The Helinox Chairs are a really great option that we can’t wait to put to use this year!
