How will you use the chair?
If you plan to take it backpacking, weight and packed size are key.
For car camping, picnicking, or sitting in your backyard, pick a premium chair that's bigger and as plush as you'd like.
Chairs for backpackers
Camp stools: the lightest and simplest option of all— light but with no back rest.
Two-legged chairs: Your feet act as the front feet of the chair, which saves weight and lets you rock a little.
Pick a camp chair style
Classic camp chair: has four legs, a straight back and a flat seat. Afforable, stable and typically high enough to sit down and stand up with ease.
Low chair: a chair with four short legs that’s good on uneven ground.
Suspended chair: a newer, more pricey style; sitter suspends from the chair frame.
Scoop chair: resembles a sling. Good compromise between lightness and comfort.
Other features to consider:
Price often reflects the quality of the frame and fabric material.
Pay attention to extras such as cup holders, footrests, head and lumbar pads.
What capacity tent do you need?
- How many are in your group? Backpacking tent models usually hold 1 to 5 people.
- There’s no industry standard for what each size means, so check product specs.
- Assume a close fit for the number of people your tent is designed to accommodate, especially with ultralight models. If you need more elbow room, consider the next size up.
Decide whether you need all-year protection
- Many backpackers, especially beginners, choose a 3-season tent for great all-around protection.
- 3+- season tents are a little sturdier and warmer than their 3-season cousin, and with less mesh.
- 4-season tents are engineered to handle high winds and other severe weather. This can make them stuffy in warm weather.
- Consider alternative shelters like hammock tents, bug shelters or bivy sacks depending on your preferences and the conditions you may typically encounter on backpacking trips.
Tent weight
Backpacking tents are a tradeoff between weight and comfort. Pay attention to the difference between packaged weight (every part included) and minimum trail weight (the weight of just the tent, rain fly and poles).
Think about livability
- Peak area: How tall is the tent?
- Floor area: How much square footage is inside?
