Big Agnes Skyline Ultralight Backpacking Chair for Fast and Light Adventures, Black

Product Information

The Therm-a-Rest Z Seat and Nemo Chipper only need a quick unfurl from their accordioned positions, and they are ready in an instant. As is a theme among these small backpacking chairs, taller and wider users may find the back too low for fully relaxing. Our team are working extended hours to get through this as quickly as possible, we ask you to be patient during this busy time. Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out.

Whether you're looking for the lightest option on the market or the most comfortable spot to park your booty tent side, we've got you covered. Additionally, when the knees are level with the hips, as opposed to higher than them, it's easier to be comfortable for a longer period of time. If you are going to plop down in a backpacking chair with a full rack still attached, the Big Six is the one to do it in!Setting up these backpacking chairs is by no means difficult, but some models have the setup dialed in. Backpackers willing to put in extra work for extra comfort will rejoice when discovering the Big Agnes Big Six chair. We found it to be one of the easier ones to load, surpassed only by the ultralight options we tested.

The Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair Kit is unique in that it provides infrastructure for an inflatable sleeping pad to be used as a seat. We do not warranty products damaged from normal wear and tear, alteration made by owner, misuse, accidents, or damages caused by uses other than intended.

We noticed a slight curve to the lower back, which knocks the comfort rating down from a perfect score, but overall, this model keeps the user's back fairly straight.

There's no getting around the fact that this model is substantially heavier than the superlight models on the market. This chair has a unique bent leg design that creates a wider base and seat while keeping the packed profile slim. Big Agnes' Skyline UL Chair is an great piece of kit for carrying on day walks, having around camp or even just having in the car for traveling with. The frame of the chair is made up of some different size and shape poles so it took a little getting use to. The Skyline UL is made for those looking to kick back after a day on the trail and soak in the view without the weight penalty of heavier camp chairs.

The Helinox Ground Chair is a unique tent chair that sits even lower to the ground than its closest competitors, making it more of a recliner meant to extend legs forward.

It sits decently high off the ground, has great seat depth, and a weight that makes it truly possible to bring anywhere. The wide, 4-legged design with hubless poles enables this seat to be comfortable, stable, compact, and one of the lightest we tested. The Big Agnes Skyline UL Chair and Big Agnes Skyline Stool are excellent; they both have a broad base that creates a secure sitting experience. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents.Elizabeth and her family can be found traveling the country, living in their converted school bus, seeking adventure through climbing and hiking, and enjoying our public lands as their outdoor living room. We use dependable and durable materials, a patented hub-less design so trim that when we say ‘packable’ sizes we mean it.
