Which Helinox camp chair is right for you? Our complete guide

Which Helinox camp chair is right for you? Our complete guide

When your pack is already heavy, bringing a camp chair shouldn’t feel like an extra burden. The right camp chairs balance weight, comfort and durability. Whether you prefer your camp chairs low to the ground or prefer your camping chairs high back, Helinox delivers some of the best in the field. Below we break down four models you’ll love.

Ultralight camp chairs change the game for hikers and campers alike

Helinox Camp Chairs Compact

Ground Relaxation: Helinox Ground Chair

If you prefer a camp chairs low profile, the Ground Chair is ideal. With a seat height around 4–5 inches, it lets you stretch your legs forward and relax close to the earth. Its stable square base design helps prevent sinking in soft or sandy ground — a clever solution to a common chair issue.

Helinox Ground Chair Camp Chair


Though it’s lower than many camp chairs compact models, the Helinox Ground Chair still packs into a tight bundle, making it camping chairs foldable and camp chairs small enough to fit inside many backpacks.

Reviewers praise its comfort: the scoop-style seat and slightly reclined angle make it possible to sit for hours. The only trade-off is that standing up or getting down can require a little effort, especially for those less limber.

Helinox Camp Chair Foldable Compact

Tall & Supportive: Helinox Sunset Chair

When a higher seating angle matters, the Helinox Sunset Chair hits the sweet spot. It gives you a more upright posture than the Ground Chair while still folding down compactly. That makes it ideal for those who want a camping chairs high back feel without losing portability.

The Sunset Camp Chair is precisely a camp chairs foldable option that doesn’t feel cramped—in contrast to many ultralight chairs that sacrifice support for lightness.
Because of its taller seat and back, it tends to feel more like a traditional camping chair — bridging the gap between “light backpacking gear” and “large full‑size camp chair” designs.

Helinox Savanna Camp Chair

Comfort & Space: Helinox Savanna Chair

If you prioritise comfort and room, the Savanna Camp Chair delivers. It’s a camp chairs large model with a camping chairs high back and features such as built-in camping chairs with cup holders and a headrest flap. Despite its generous dimensions, it remains surprisingly portable.

It supports a heavy capacity (around 145 kg), making it ideal for those who want comfort without compromising durability.

Reviews highlight its head and back support as standout features — “upper back, neck, and head” support gives this chair serious comfort credentials. Downsides? It’s slightly heavier than lightweight chairs, and for very large builds the seat width might feel snug.
