Anyone here own a Helinox Chair Zero?
helinox.com/products/chair-zero?variant=16664192286790
While not something I woud take on a long hike, especially on the AT which has over 270 shelters and often rocks and logs to sit on. But considering it as a possibility for weekend trips. On my recent Buffalo River Trail hike I know the others envied how light my pack was, but I wouldn't have minded having one of their chairs. The Helinox Chair Zero only weighs 17 oz (18oz packed and 13x3.5x3.5 in). So for a weekend trip that sounds tempting.
I plan to keep my eyes open with all of the gear sales going on in our current business environment, but my concern is that it might be like a Western Mountaineering sleep bag, which don't ever seem to go on sale.
Any thoughts or experience you have appreciated.
