I bought three Big Agnes Skyline UL Chairs in Yellow on sale. Still expensive, but well worth it so that we are comfortable around the campfire after backpacking.- The "patented hub-less frames" truly give this chair the smallest footprint when packed.- Small size is a necessity for me because I'm backpacking with two pre-teen girls who need to carry enough gear for an overnight trip.- I am willing to sacrifice no head support for a backpacking camp chair.- Chair construction is top-notch and are very comfortable.I highly recommend if you need an UL chair and are willing to give up a headrest.

Like everyone else, I asked myself if I needed a chair to sit on when I got back to camp. I decided to give it a go and live with carrying the extra weight. Let me tell you, I find it totally worth it. My back is always sore at the end of the day but having a seat with a backrest is invaluable to feeling like I can actually relax those muscles. The chair folds up nicely, doesn't weight much, and feels like a real chair. Highly recommend.

Chair is awesome and comfy for big chasis folks. However, the caps on the end of frame that holds the elastic band shot off and I was unable to licate. I submitted a claim for a replacement part with Moosejaw, and they siad sorry Charlie. You gotta go through big agness. I’m probably screwed there too, so Im going to have the part 3d printedIm still going to rate this as 5 star. But Id add a dab of glue to end caps

I got one a few years ago since my husband and I live in the city and ride our bikes to beaches and picnics. He always loved mine so we finally got one for him! It’s so lightweight and takes up almost no room in our backpacks. It’s not too bad of a learning curve to stretch the fabric on, and it has become easier and faster with time so definitely don’t let that get you down (I originally got him the ultra lightweight one, but couldn’t get that seat on to save my life so went back to this model and it’s great). If you can, spring for the one with a cup holder. I know we often think about how handy that would be…(often!)
I'd been meaning to buy a chair like this since I have back pain and sitting on the ground is not as friendly as it once was. I was deciding between a few and landed on this one because it's a wider bucket style chair, with a bit of a higher back than others, but still low to the ground. I chose the yellow color in case the black held onto heat in the sun.I set it up in my living room once to be sure it was straightforward and it definitely was. I'm a petite woman and didn't feel like I broke a sweat with this one. It's super lightweight and easy to assemble. Only con I can think of is that if you're on the larger size it may be a bit small for you. But I'm 5'4" 115 lbs and had pleeenty of room.
Big Agnes replaced another similar chair however, Agnes is much quicker to assemble, easier to slip into its bag without legs flopping all over, I can assemble it myself without fighting to get the final rod into its pocket, and it has a more compact shape for storage. I love everything about this chair…and it’s really comfortable too. Thankfully another camper stopped by to compare his Big Agnes to our other brand. The result was we later switched from our more expensive chair to Big Agnes.
Nice chair; appears to be well-made. Somewhat complicated to put together at first. My main complaint however, is that it sits waaaay too low to the ground for anyone not in top-top shape. I noted the height of it before I purchased, but 16 inches off the ground in reality is far less than it would seem on paper. You’re trying to haul the heaviest part of your body (butt) from a sitting position to 90 degrees straight up in one fell swoop. There are no arms to grab for balance or to boost oneself up, so it is the same as trying to rise from a SUPER deep-knee bend…from 16” off the ground. Probably not a problem for a very fit person—which may be the majority of backpackers— but definitely not for anyone with knee trouble or in less than optimal condition.

I’m 6 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds. I always borrow my buddy’s chair because when there’s a group of us it’s so great to have a chair and just sit around the campfire sharing memories and telling old stories. I always used a Z light mat, and then jumped in my buddies chair when they got out. However, I always had the same problem. I was consistently falling back and sinking into the soil.This chair is slightly heavier, but it solves my two previous problems! And I got a great deal at Moosejaw on it… And free shipping! I literally couldn’t afford not to buy this chair :-)I Love it!
I was looking for a versatile, compact, lightweight camping chair to throw into my pack for backpacking trips, but I also wanted to something I could easily fit into a daypack to be able to pop a squat and relax no matter the setting. This chair fits the bill perfectly. It has a solid, stable stance, and sits up higher than other super-light camping chairs I've tried, meaning it's much easier to get in and out of after miles on trail. This chair is quality top to bottom, definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a super packable, light, on-the-go chair.
I used to have a 1 lb. UL Chair (still do, its just broken.) My two main issues were (1) it was too low to the ground and (2) the plastic joints broke! I would rather carry a chair that is a little heavier to have 6" more off the ground, I no longer have to "roll out" of the chair to get up (this could have contributed to the joints breaking.) With this "Joint free" design, there are no plastic pieces to crack and break. The "sloped" back legs also keep the legs from sinking into the ground as much (problem #3 solved.) All in all a great chair. After all, what good is a 1 lb. chair, if you end up on the ground anyway!
