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

Product Information

In general, the higher the chair is, the easier it is to get in and out, and the gentler it is on the knees and hips. The square base is also stable enough that we weren't fearful of tipping over, and we appreciate the side pockets for phone and sunglasses storage. There are other chairs in this review that are lighter, but this one is by far the best combination of comfort and weight.

The Skyline UL Chair packs small, assembles quickly, and gives you the comfort you need to enjoy the backcountry spot you worked so hard to get to. 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. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. No other chair has the size to accommodate the extra bulk nor the headrest to let you lay back and watch the next climber.It packs small, assembles quickly, and gives you the comfort you need to enjoy the backcountry spot you worked so hard to get to. An ultra-lightweight, compact, and versatile piece of backcountry furniture, the Big Agnes Skyline UL Stool provides a comfy place to rest after long days on the trail. However, the weight, size, and ease of set up and take down really make this a great option if you are limited on space and weight. We love that some of the Helinox models include picture directions printed on the chairs, making your first setup as easy as your fifteenth.

The stool employs lightweight, durable shock-corded aluminum poles and high-tenacity 70D Robic yarn.

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.

The Skyline trail serves as a year-round trail easily accessed by the Sanctuary neighborhood on the mountain-side of Steamboat proper.
