The Helinox Chair One (RE) is a lightweight, portable camping chair designed for outdoor activities. This updated model builds upon the original design by incorporating a second tension line within the seat perimeter, which effectively distributes weight across the frame for improved comfort. The chair is constructed with a focus on sustainability, utilizing repurposed aluminum for the frame and bluesign-certified recycled polyester for the fabric.
Advantages
The chair offers enhanced stability through redesigned nylon resin hubs and a proprietary DAC aluminum alloy frame that balances strength with a low overall weight. The seat is positioned 30% higher than the original model, providing easier accessibility. Users benefit from an integrated side pocket for storage and reinforced corners that provide reliable support. The inclusion of mesh paneling ensures ventilation, while the shock-corded pole system allows for quick and intuitive assembly.
Suitable for
- Camping trips and backpacking
- Outdoor festivals and events
- Hiking excursions where weight is a factor
- General outdoor seating needs
When it may not be suitable
This chair may not be ideal for use on extremely soft or sandy ground without additional support, as the narrow feet can sink into the surface. It is also designed primarily for portability, so individuals seeking a heavy-duty, stationary recliner for long-term patio use might prefer a larger, more robust furniture option.

How to use
To set up the chair, remove the frame and seat fabric from the carrying case. The shock-corded poles will naturally guide the frame into its assembled shape. Once the frame is locked into position, attach the seat fabric by sliding the frame ends into the reinforced corner pockets. Ensure all corners are fully seated before sitting down. To pack away, reverse the process by detaching the fabric and collapsing the poles, then store the components in the provided zippered case.
What to consider before purchase
- Check the packed dimensions to ensure it fits your luggage or backpack.
- Consider the terrain where you will primarily use the chair.
- Verify the weight capacity meets your specific requirements.
Usage recommendations: Always ensure the chair is placed on a level surface to maintain stability. Clean the fabric with mild soap and water, and allow it to air dry completely before storing it in the carrying case to prevent moisture buildup.
