Helinox Chair One and Ground Chair 25% off

That chair is getting expensive, I bought the MR version awhile back for $89.99 and while it weighs more it is stronger as well. Didn't it used to cost $69.99 or something for their regular light weight model?
 
There is a Chinese knock-off on Amazon for like $65 or something like that. But the Helinox version looks more solid and is wider and more solid than the REI at $70. At $75 with free shipping this is a steal.
 
Yeah I agree that today it is but wasn't too long ago the Helinox was much lower priced. The Mystery Ranch model I have is a Helinox and is tougher then nails.

Only issue I have is the little rubber feet have disappeared over the years.

The new one's rubber feet don't work anyways as they just sink straight into the ground. Ace Hardware sells replacement feet for metal folding chairs that work quite well and don't sink into the ground so I threw them over top of mine. Another option is PVC bars like this: https://squareup.com/market/greggs-a-list/sandbars

I really want to try the Sunset Chair as I recently switched to the Camp Chair cause of my height (6'5"), but it is a little less comfortable than the chair once you're in it. The height is far better for getting in/out. I may be able to justify the extra couple ounces for the Sunset if it is more comfortable, or I may just go back to the Chair One.
 
I was actually considering the Chinese knockoff on amazon but it appears the helinox has a 100 lb more capacity. Wonder if it's really true.
 
Finch, I believe the Helinox rating as I'm 230 and it barely flexes while the REI seems to be a lot closer to the limit for me. I also like to lean back when I sit which pushes the weight limit a little bit over my actual weight.
 
Finch, yes those are them. I forget which size I got but they just slipped right over the factory ones. You could probably save weight by popping off the factory feet and using smaller ones. I plan on cutting holes in my fishing rod case to use as sand bars like my earlier post.

Avid Hunter, someone had posted a source on Amazon for fairly cheap a couple weeks ago; don't remember how much.

Okay, thanks!

And that was me that posted that chair in someone else's thread last week. That's when you dubbed it the "Chinese knockoff." :)

In all seriousness though, they look identical but the weight rating is different which makes me question which one to believe or is the helinox clearly the winner. 230lbs or 320lb.
