Hey guys, it's Lauren from Snowys here.
I have the Helinox Chair Zero in front of me today.
It is the lightest camp chair ever.
It weighs less than a 600 gramme bottle of water,
and it is perfect for hikers and lightweight adventurers.
It packs to 32 centimetres tall, 10 centimetres in diameter.
It's packed weight is 510 grammes,
but it cuts 20 grammes with out of the bag so,
in use 490 grammes.
Let's see what's in the bag.
So, we have your ultra-lightweight chair,
sling and your aluminium frame.
Now, the awesome thing about this Helinox frame
is the shock cord connections,
between all your pieces.
It almost essentially self assembles.
We just need a bit of extra help here,
getting these bits into the hubs,
and after a long day of hiking or paddling,
you just wanna sit down somewhere comfortable.
It's super easy to put together.
So, your lightweight chair sling,
it has assembly instructions here,
and up the top here, it lets you know that this side up.
We're gonna go first with these sockets here
on the base legs.
These slide in super easily.
You've got these end caps on the posts here
that are rounded off.
They'll slip into the sockets really well.
Now, once you get into this side of things,
the frame's gonna start to be under a bit of tension,
so this last socket here, you might need to put a bit
of muscle into it, which is not gonna damage
your chair at all.
And, that's the Chair Zero set up.
Now, we have a width measurement here of 50 centimetres.
It's about 48 centimetres deep,
going up to 64 centimetres tall.
Ground to seat height is approximately 23 centimetres.
Now the chair sling itself is made
from an ultra lightweight polyester,
which has a non stretch reinforcing grid
woven through the fabric.
On the back here, we have the workmanship,
is brilliant actually.
The quality of stitching, extra bar-tacking,
in all the spots that need reinforcing,
and these nylon post sockets.
The aluminium alloy poles are super,
super strong and lightweight.
And, we have our nylon hubs here.
Glass filled nylon hubs.
Now, on your four legs, you have some quite wide
end caps here, but if you're gonna be on soft ground,
there is an optional footprint
that you can get to stop them sinking in.
Now, the chair takes a 120 kilos total.
So, let's give it a test run.
Now, being a ultra lightweight compact chair,
you'd maybe be a bit concerned about how it would feel,
but it's quite comfortable.
I can tell if I bring my legs up like this,
it does feel and recline a little bit.
It feels a little bit uneven,
but when my legs are out in front of me,
it's really lovely, and at the end of a busy day,
this is something to look forward to.
Right, let's see how effortless this is to pack away.
Flip the chair over.
We'll pop one socket out first.
Again, that will be under tension,
but the rest should come away really easily.
When you're pulling apart the frame,
just pop them out of their little hubs.
I don't think it really matters what order you do it.
It will all come together pretty easily
with that shot cord.
That's done.
We're going to fold up our chair sling.
Tuck those ends in nicely.
And then, slowly roll the frame.
Just grab our bag.
The Helinox Chair Zero is the absolute go to for hikers
and ultra lightweight adventurers.
