Features

  • At just 1 lb. 2 oz., the chair is a true backpacking-friendly weight
  • Innovative design solutions remove unnecessary weight and help the chair nest easily in your pack
  • Suspension system trades webbing for slim cordage that blends HTP and Dyneema®
  • HTP and Dyneema® have proven strength and water-resistance through time-tested use in rock climbing, sailing and other safety-critical activities
  • High-strength cord feeds through a piece of hardware (inspired by belay devices) that is lightweight and unobtrusive; hardware allows for smooth reclining of the chair
  • Patent-pending reclining system allows you to adjust your sitting angle for dining, working on a laptop, or relaxing
  • Frame poles connect to the lightweight molded corner mounts with a satisfying click
  • Each pole in the frame has a unique diameter and shape optimized for weight and strength
  • Premium forged 6061 series aluminum hubs and 7001 series aluminum tubes are built for a lifetime of use and stability
  • Both the forged aluminum hubs and molded corner mounts have been strategically optimized for weight while maintaining impressive strength and reliable durability
  • This process of skeletonizing the hardware removes every ounce of unnecessary material
  • Seat is made from a custom-engineered, postconsumer recycled mesh that blends polyester and TPU fibers for a seamless design that comfortably cradles different body shapes
  • This seamless seat design attaches to the frame with minimized ball-and-socket connectors that rotate and align with the body to avoid any uncomfortable pressure points
  • Includes a tool-roll-style Platform Pack™ carrying case that doubles as an optional platform for sandy surfaces
  • 100% recycled materials are used in mesh, edge binding and webbing; mesh and select hardware are bluesign® approved
  • Protected by NEMO lifetime warranty

A beautiful little chair

This little camp chair is worth paying top dollar for. Every time I plant my tuches in it I marvel at its solidity. How can something so light feel so solid? A 1 pound chair should not be this comfortable, yet it is. Indeed, this “camp” chair justifies the “Elite” upsell. You don’t really sit in this chair; you fall into its embrace. After a long day’s hike, it’s like being cradled in the arms of a loving goddess.

Cool Chair!

I have not taken it out yet, but it was easy to put together, and very light. It’s pretty sturdy and I am looking forward to using it.
