NEW — Limited Production Run

The world’s lightest backpack camp chair.

18 ounces. No assembly. Full back support. Handmade in Newport Beach, California since 1977 — the same design, still built to outlast the trip.

The original, since 1977

Same weight as the drink in your other hand.

The chair weighs 18 ounces — about what a 16 oz. can of beer or energy drink weighs. Add the headrest, included at no extra cost, and the whole kit comes to 22 oz. (623 g), roughly a 20 oz. can of Red Bull (643 g). No chair of equal comfort packs down this light.

No assembly required. Unfold it, sit down. The sling’s natural load-bearing shape gives full back support — this is not a toy, it’s rated for 250 lbs. of working load and has been tested past 545 lbs. without failure.

Why people carry it

Built for the miles that matter.

Packs flat

Folds up flat for the easiest possible storage — slide it into a side pocket and forget it’s there until you need it.

Full back support

The sling’s shape carries your weight naturally, giving full-size comfort after a long day on trail.

It floats

Heat-treated aluminum tube frame, no sharp edges, and a nylon sling that sheds water. Take it anywhere — car, plane, boat.
