Product Information

The Monarch’s base has only one pole hub, versus the competitions’ dual-hubbed designs, and that hub is constructed from the same lightweight aluminum from which the poles are made, versus the bulkier nylon hubs that many of the other chairs utilize.

In terms of how the chair is made, the thick aluminum tubes are larger than many others I’ve seen, especially for a chair of its size.

Handle of the bag was coming away at one end and may have been a problem if I was going to carry it like that. It's light, comfortable and has been probably one of the finest bits of camping kit I have and fits easily on the outside of my pack when wild camping for that extra bit of comfort sitting on the summit watching the sunset.

Helinox was founded in 2009 by the owner of the Dongah Aluminum Company (DAC), the company responsible for making what are considered the gold standard of aluminum tent poles.It pops neatly into it's carry bag with a loop handle and takes up near to zero space in the car or your backpack.

Even on rigs with ample frame triangles, the conditions of a particular route—such as limited food and water resupply options—often mean anything that’s not life-sustaining won’t make the cut.

The stool sits much lower than a standard camping chair so getting up and down might pose a challenge for those of us who are not as supple as we should be! The chair has been used during weekend camping trips, day trips to the beach, at several backyard cookouts, and pulled out of the trunk at the trailhead when I’m back at the car after a strenuous hike (I love sitting it in to take my sweaty boots off and enjoy a moment of rest before getting back in the car). I would say if you have never used the helinox one chair you will be impressed with this incarnation, if you have, may be not so much. While it’s generally safe, as the ground is not far from the seat, a few camping cocktails could make things interesting. Tyler (KiwiKlimber) is a hiker, hunter, and mountain biker who roams the ridges and valleys of Central Pennsylvania (USA).Overall, this chair is pretty comfortable, along the lines of the other ultralight contenders with added back support and a more stable feeling. This construction technique creates a fairly shallow (forward to back) bucket, not unlike that of the Chair Zero. The Helinox Chair One is also pretty comfy and comparable to the Big Agnes, but it’s heavier and much bulkier. The small feet are apt to sink into soft surfaces, but Helinox has additional stability accessories available for purchase to increase surface area. We humans come in all sizes and shapes, so there’s no single chair that will be the most comfortable for every body.
