Helinox or a knockoff of one

 

[Dameon]

I use a Helinox knockoff I found on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods. I bought three for my boys and I for the price of one genuine Helinox. Mine weighs in at 2 pounds. The comfort is worth the weight penalty in my opinion.

Just discussed this not to long back, girlfriend and I both pack the REI flexlite, but if I was buying again today, I'd get the knockoff from Amazon.

I got my dad a helinox for Christmas last year. Then I found a knock off at BJs( like a Costco or Sams club) for a quarter of the price. It's about twice the weight but for the savings in money I'll deal. After a long day it's nice to sit off the ground.

Many like this on Amazon for at and under $30. Had mine next to the Helinox on hunts in Montana and California and the differences are very minimal.

Don't really take them on true long distance backpacking hunts where weight is critical but have been very happy/impressed with the Amazon Helinox knock off after over a year now.

The chair zero is certainly lighter, with a claimed weight of just over a pound vs. 2 pounds for the knock offs, but if I am going on a true backpack hunt then neither style of this chair is getting taken if weight is critical and bringing the Thermarest Trekking chair for my sleeping pad.

I also use a knock off from Amazon called (Outad). Been very pleased. Just checked out a chair zero today....it's nice too although def feels a little flimsy compared the chair one, also slightly lower and narrower. I'm 200lbs which is prob pushing it. I'd say for 180 and under it's a good option,
