Helinox Chair Zero | The lightest Helinox chair ever is the pinnacle of Helinox design and innovation

Product Information

Lightweight folding chair frame is constructed from advanced DAC aluminium alloy to provide maximum strength at minimum weight; holds up to 120 kg

Given this changed economic context, the government commissioned a review into its approach to net zero to better understand the impact of the different ways to deliver its net zero pathway on the UK public and economy and maximise economic opportunities of the transition. The government is committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Compared to the lightest model, this chair is still a decent amount heavier. So those who are ultra-conscious about going ultralight may find the 29 ounces too heavy. We also found that the space-saving hubless pole design takes slightly more time to assemble than the hubbed pole models, but only by around 10 seconds, so we're splitting hairs here. All in all, this is the seat we'd most like to end up in at the end of a long day. But if you're looking to shave off some weight, the 2 ounce Therm-a-Rest Z Seat is the lightest in our lineup. Since then, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other global factors have fundamentally changed the economic landscape in the UK, placing huge pressure on households and business through high energy prices and broader inflationary pressures.While testing, we found that the Goplus Zero Gravity Lounge Chair chair offers plenty of extras at an affordable price. In addition to a feeling of weightlessness that all zero-gravity chairs offer, we love that it comes with a plastic side tray so you can store essential items, including a phone, magazine, or your favorite book. It even has two cup holders to keep a beverage handy for you and a friend. Another convenient feature is the moveable shade canopy, so you can stay out of the sun without worrying about opening a patio umbrella or bringing a beach umbrella or hat with you on the go. Chair poles are made from DAC aluminium, best known for their use in some of the most robust tents in the world, including Hilleberg. The chair material is made from very breathable, durable polyester. Polyester chairs are just about everything Textilene chairs are not: They can feel sweatier, can be more vulnerable to bad weather, and cost more than Textilene chairs. However, polyester fabric can be padded, making the overall feel worth the extra amount. The BEIS Secretary of State appointed Chris Skidmore MP as review Chair. Reporting in early 2023, the review will ensure that delivering the net zero target does not place undue burdens on businesses or consumers. Unfortunately, the quest for the Holy Grail continues, and the very thing that makes the Chair Zero so appealing–its ridiculously low weight–limits its comfort when compared to heavier models.

If you found that the Helinox Chair One was too low to the ground for you then maybe this isn't the chair for you, it's a little lower than the Chair One. If I was buying a chair for base camp use I'd choose one of the models with longer legs. During the Review, the Chair consulted widely with a diverse range of stakeholders, including investors, industry, and experts in different fields, through a series of roundtables and direct meetings, as a well as a public call for evidence which received more than 1800 responses. If you found the Helinox Chair One too low or the Chair Zero too narrow, this may be the chair for you.

The Chair Zero is, in fact, not the lightest seat that Helinox manufacturers. That title belongs to the Speed Stool, weighing 1lb flat and streamlined down to just a fold-out setup. Though the weight difference is slight, if you’re looking for the lightest possible option that will still keep you off the ground, it’s the way to go. Their Ground Chair weighs just over 1lb 6oz, and it’s a great way to stay within the ultralightweight class but retain a little more stability and comfort than the Chair Zero. The Chair Zero is surprisingly comfortable and supportive for such a lightweight chair, with an ergonomic design that cradles and supports you when seated. If you are looking for a roomy, extra-wide option, we love the Coastrail Outdoor Oversized Zero Gravity Chair. It has a 33.5 seat width and a 500 pound weight capacity, both the largest on this list. The polyester seat is padded for extra comfort, and the wooden armrests are also wider than other options. It also features a powder coated, rust-resistant steel frame to help withstand the elements and is available in multiple colors.

From there, the seat slips onto the frame. Initially, it takes a little bit of effort, and you have to force it. I’ve used the chair a fair amount, and the fabric has stretched to the point where I no longer feel like I’m going to snap the aluminum. The final touch (and one that I might appreciate the most) is an arrow on the rear of the seat reading “this side up.”In 2021, the government published its Net Zero Strategy, setting out a pathway to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The alloy frame sections are then joined by hubs made from high-strength, fibre-reinforced nylon 66, while the seats themselves use ripstop fabrics, reinforced panels and durable stitching to try and ensure excellent longevity and durability – in fact, all Helinox chairs have a 5-year warranty. Features While all zero-gravity chairs are designed with comfort in mind, some are more comfortable than others. Comfort largely depends on the material a chair is made from either Textilene mesh or polyester. I really wanted the Chair Zero to be everything that it promised–the lightweight and practical alternative to an eggshell seat pad I’ve spent years in search of. I’m a big guy at 6’5, so a lightweight and comfortable camping chair is something special. Our team defines "value" as the meeting point between performance and price. Some products have superior comfort or versatility, but do their costs justify their performance? Others may be very affordable, but does their performance lag?
