While bulkier quad chairs will always be a reliable option, these days it’s also possible to find more minimalist designs that can be thrown into a daypack or beach tote. No longer considered a car-camping luxury, collapsible chairs are becoming something of a backcountry fixture these days, too.
Comfort: If you’re going to lug a chair to your campsite, it should be comfortable and sturdy. We looked for chairs with additional back support and padding, as well as chairs that incorporate cup holders, phone holders, storage pockets, and even coolers into their designs. We also found options for minimalists who’re simply trying to keep their butts off the ground when eating lunch on the trail. For many, how much space a chair takes up in your bag or trunk is also a comfort consideration.
Rottman and Jimenez tell us that Korean brand Helinox has been at the forefront of ultralight camping-chair tech since the early 2010s. While this particular chair may still be too heavy for weight-conscious backpackers, its tiny packed-down size means it’s super convenient for just about everybody else. You assemble the Helinox one like a tent: There’s a collapsible aluminum-pole frame that’s held together with shock cords, then a sling seat made from nylon and mesh that slips over it.
Bialowas also pointed us to this REI dupe that’s rather similar to the Helinox One but features a wide, ripstop polyester sling seat instead of a lightweight mesh one. We have to admit that the colorways — olive green, blueberry, and copper — are actually way more appealing. If you’re after a quad chair that’s more supportive than the Coleman pick above, Marc and Julie Bennett of RVLove are fans of this one. “It’s great for people with back issues, or those who want to avoid them,” say the couple. “You have to sit in one to appreciate the difference.” The durable Guru has a 300-pound capacity and comes with a two-year warranty, which is unusual for a quad-style camping chair.
This sleek True Places camping chair has everything, and then some: solid plastic arms, a cup holder, optional clip-on phone holder, two bottle openers, and a clever carrier bag that can be worn as a backpack. The brand sent me one to try, and here’s the feature I like most: an unusually sturdy frame. Most camping chairs wobble and topple if you don’t have your two feet planted to balance them out, but this one stays grounded.
