I have been given the wonderful opportunity to test the Helinox Chair One and though I only managed to take it camping once before the UK lockdown officially began, I have used it constantly in the garden pulling weeds, and even taken it on dog walks as it makes a superb thing to sit on and throw a ball if your feeling lazy (small warning though it does put you in a much easier spot for your dog to lick your face).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do have to say that once you have one of these seats in your possession, you look for any excuse to sit down, assembly from the bag is incredibly simple and satisfying as all of the poles are naturally pulled into position by the thick, strong elastic keeping the structure together. The Seat for something so lightweight feels incredibly stable, you have to give the credit structurally to the fantastic DAC poles which make up the chair\u2019s main structure. Helinox is the only furniture brand to use DAC poles which are made from an aluminium alloy and are some of the finest made in the industry. You are most likely to find these poles being used for Blizzard-defying Hilleberg tents and some very lightweight MSR tents. To show quite how good these poles are, the seat weighs less than a kilo but is capable of holding up to 145 kilos, that\u2019s over twice my weight. I found another use in that these seats make an excellent platform for packing your backpack, it keeps it off the wet ground and you don\u2019t have to bend over quite as much. Packing it last into your pack means that it is always ready to help you enjoy a view or wait at a bus stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main seat of the Chair one is a cleverly stitched and shaped 600D polyester weave stitched into panels, vented fabric across the back and in the sides makes it very breathable so you wont get too sweaty in hot weather. In cold weather, I would recommend keeping an extra layer at hand as the seat has no cushioning or insulative features (though for an additional purchase, a seat warmer<\/a> is available and is fantastic!). This seat supports you like a very sturdy sort of hammock and I have not found a seat from another brand with a similar design that has been as comfortable or supportive. The Chair One\u2019s concept has been copied several times by other brands, but they have always fallen short compared to the real thing in one way or another, be it durability, support, comfort or weight. Helinox has certainly made a product that tackles those four core themes excellently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Easy to clean with soap and water, it is made for many years of outdoor use and is backed by a 5-year warranty. They trust their products to excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So whether you\u2019re looking for a seat you can pull out anywhere (I once sold one to a lady who wanted to always guarantee a seat whilst waiting for trains) or looking for that perfect seat to take on multi-day adventures in nature, Helinox\u2019s terrific offering will not let you down. For those looking for an even lighter seat, they also have you covered with the Helinox Chair Zero<\/a> which at the cost of a little strength (It still can take upto 120kg) and just a little comfort (in my opinion, I\u2019m quite bony) only weighs a staggering 510g and packs down extra small!![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/tale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2022\/06\/IMG_1885_thumb_47DAFFA0.jpg\")
