Helinox, a brand that created the category of lightweight, portable furniture, has introduced the Chair Zero High-Back, an ultralight silhouette that weighs a mere 1 1/2 pounds while providing a taller, sturdier back for neck and shoulder comfort.
In 2017, Helinox introduced the Chair Zero, an ultra-lightweight design that set the standard for backpacking chairs. Due to its combination of comfort, packability, durability and ease of setup/stow, Chair Zero is one of Helinox’s most popular styles, and is a staple with backpackers, ADV riders, kayakers, fishermen, overlanding enthusiasts and anyone who wants comfort while balancing limited space and weight considerations.
Every aspect of the Chair Zero High-Back is engineered for lightness, durability, strength and comfort. The frame is 7000 series aluminum made from DAC’s proprietary TH72M alloy, which is prized for its strength-to-weight ratio and depended on by the world’s top tent makers. Each pole is anodized for extra strength and engineered and designed for its intended purpose – to support the full weight of sitting. Helinox has exclusive rights to use DAC alloy for outdoor furniture and accessories.
For the seat of the Chair Zero High-Back, Helinox uses a light, durable 100D polyester and weaves in Aramid – a military-grade fiber known for its exceptional strength – to create a light, durable ripstop fabric that stands up to sun, grime, granite, and years of sitting.
Finally, the hubs and joining components of the Chair Zero High-Back are molded with Helinox’s proprietary high-strength nylon resin, engineered for precise, solid and secure pole attachments.
The Chair Zero High-Back is available in Black and Gray colorways at select retailers and online at: helinox.com/collections/chair-zero. MSRP: $169.95
