## Overview

The Helinox Chair Zero redefines portable seating with its groundbreaking 510g weight and ultra-compact design. Crafted from high-strength DAC TH72M aluminum alloy, it supports up to 120 kg while folding down smaller than a water bottle. Its quick-assembly bungee system and machine-washable rip-stop polyester seat make it the ultimate companion for camping, backpacking, and travel. Despite premium engineering and a 5-year warranty, some users report durability concerns under normal use.

## Description

Based on the basic concept of the legendary One chair, Helinox reduced by 450g to make it the lightest chair ever designed by Helinox - Zero Chair. At just over 500g, the Chair Zero weighs less than 600ml of water! The super compact travel size fits into any backpack. Compared to chair 1, the frame is slightly lower on the floor and the seat angle is slightly straighter. One of the most important areas of weight saving is the seat fabric. It is a lightweight material with a high-tech wire reinforcement grid, not stretchable and strong enough to hold 120 kg. Now you can rest your back wherever you go.DAC Rods For over 20 years, DAC technology has been known for its high quality DAC poles in the outdoor industry. This wishbone is particularly robust, durable, functional and very light. Weight: approx. ): 0.5 kg Additional information: - Super compact packaging format - Item number: Polyester 300D Rip PU - Easy to clean seat - Quick and easy assembly - The lightest chair in the Helinox range Equipment: Carry case Materials Frame:: DAC TH72M Aluminium Reference: 100% polyester; mesh inserts: 100% polyamide Dimensions Packed size (W x D x H) ):: 10 x 10 x 35 Seat height: 28 cm Maximum weight supported: 120 kg Size (W x D x H):: 48 x 52 x 64 Camping chair Type: Folding chair Number of seats: Single seater Structure: Cylindrical legs Scope of delivery: Chair, bag.

Review: Broke After Only Two Uses - I expected premium quality from Helinox, especially for the price they charge and the reputation they have in the outdoor gear world. Instead, what I got was a complete let-down. After the second use — on a completely flat, stable surface — the Chair Zero snapped at the joint connection. No rough terrain, no overloading, nothing that could justify such a failure. Just normal use, exactly as intended. For a chair this expensive, you expect years of reliable service, not a catastrophic failure after two outings. At this point, it’s hard not to feel like you’re paying for the brand name rather than actual durability. If this is “premium quality,” I’d hate to see what their budget gear looks like. I honestly can’t recommend this product to anyone looking for reliability in the outdoors.
Review: Broken just in 1 month, Not a single answer from Helinox - I am just a 78 kg person and never abused the chair but still, it is broken in the joints now. I had multiple camping chairs before, even the cheap ones, and I never had a problem like this. They are very proud of their warranties and all, so I had an inquiry at their website, twice now, and they never even bothered to respond. I paid a lot (I mean a lot) of money for a terrible product, and my suggestion is to be careful about the current reviews(they are really good, unfortunately) and make your decision very carefully.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Similar chairs are very hard to pull the corner pockets of the seat over the rods. Does this have the same issue? Thanks**
A: It does.  There are a few solutions.  Here's one.:  Place the long rods of the seat back into the pockets first.  Place those ends on the ground, cloth side up.  One at a time bend the long rods using their leverage against the ground and grasping the shorter rods to do it.
HERE'S AN EXTRA PIECE OF INFO.:  This chair will sink into sand or dirt and spill you onto the ground.  It only stands on solid surfaces.  Helinox will sell you an accessory (for another $25-$30!! and more weight) to overcome this issue.

**Q: Where are these chairs made?**
A: According to the manufacturer, "Our furniture fabrics are produced in Vietnam and our aluminum poles are made in South Korea by Dac Poles. Our furniture is also assembled and packaged in Vietnam."

**Q: Is this chair comfortable for tall (>6') persons?**
A: I am 6'2 and weigh 230Lbs.  Given its intended use (i.e. for lightweight camping/backpacking), I consider the chair comfortable.  You can buy a more comfortable chair, but it will be considerably larger and heavier (IMHO).

**Q: Is this comfotable enough to sit on all day?**
A: Why would you want to sit all day?  It's bad for you! I just use this for backpack trips where weight is of prime importance.  It's the most comfortable chair for evenings at a backcountry camp with good back support for only 1 lb.  But I doubt it would be very comfortable for all day.  You'd want a bigger, cushier chair which would be much heavier.  If weight isn't important, get something else which will be more comfortable and less costly (you pay extra for that lightweight).  For backpacking, there's no better chair.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by P***E on 28 December 2019*

Acheter comme cadeau de Noel à mon mari qui randonne en vélo, et qui voulait une chaise peu encombrante et très légère pour mettre dans ses sacoches. Pari tenu, la Chair Zéro est la chaise la plus légère que j'ai trouvé sur le net. Très facile à déplier et à replier et en plus très confortable. Hélinox un matériel de qualité qui n'a plus à faire ses preuves. Achat à recommander +++++. L'envoi a été en plus très rapide.
