Backpacking Chairs: Review and Compariosn

Hey there guys and gals, this is Chris with Ignited by Nature and welcome back to my channel!

If you’re tired of sitting on rocks, logs, or cold wet ground in the backcountry, this video is for you. In this in-depth review and comparison, I test out and rank eight ultralight backpacking chairs and sit pads—so you can find the perfect seat for your next adventure.

🪑 Chairs and Seats Featured in This Video:

Therm-a-Rest Z Seat
NEMO Chipper Foam Seat
REI Flexlite Air Chair
Helinox Chair Zero
NEMO Moonlite Elite Chair
Big Agnes Skyline UL Chair
Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 Original Chair
Moon Lence Ultralight Chair (budget pick)
I cover key factors like:

Weight and packed size
Comfort and back support
Durability and materials
Setup time and ease of use
Best use cases (minimalist, weekend backpacking, basecamp comfort, etc.)
Whether you're a thru-hiker looking to cut grams or a backcountry hunter wanting comfort without the bulk, I break down which seat might be best for your needs. Some are ultralight and minimal, while others offer full back support and are surprisingly comfy for how little they weigh.

Let me know in the comments: Which chair or pad do you use in the backcountry? Got a favorite I didn’t include? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

⛺ Chairs compared side-by-side so you can make an informed decision before you hit the trail!
