Helinox

Ultralight camping chairs and camping tables, engineered by the world's leading tent pole maker

Why a camping chair from a tent pole company actually makes sense

Helinox

Helinox was founded in Seoul, South Korea in 2009 by father-son team Jake and Young Lah. Jake had already spent decades building DAC, the company behind the high-strength aluminium tent poles trusted by brands like The North Face, MSR, and Hilleberg. The idea for Helinox came from a simple question: after watching a friend drag heavy, bulky chairs into the desert, Jake wondered why camping furniture couldn't be built with the same lightweight precision as a tent pole.

That question became Helinox's proprietary DAC aluminium alloy frames, the foundation of every camping chair and camping table the brand makes. The name itself, a blend of Helios and Nox, the gods of sun and night, reflects the brand's mission: genuine comfort, anywhere, from dawn to dusk.

What sets Helinox apart

Built on genuine aluminium expertise

Every Helinox camping chair and camping table uses DAC's proprietary TH72M aluminium alloy, the same engineering pedigree behind some of the world's best tent poles.

Genuinely lightweight, genuinely strong

Helinox furniture routinely packs down to under a kilogram while still supporting well over 100kg, a combination most camping furniture simply can't match.

Built to last, backed by a 5-year warranty

Helinox's "buy quality, buy once" philosophy means genuinely repairable products backed by a 5-year warranty, not disposable camping furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PAST Outdoors an authorised Helinox stockist

Yes, we're a genuine, authorised Helinox stockist. All products in our range are authentic and sourced directly through official channels.

What makes a Helinox camping chair different from a standard folding chair?

Helinox chairs use a proprietary DAC aluminium alloy frame that's genuinely lighter and stronger than standard steel or generic aluminium frames, letting them pack down much smaller while still supporting serious weight.

Do Helinox camping tables work with any Helinox chair?

Yes, tables like the Table One are sized to work alongside Helinox's chair range, making it easy to build a complete, lightweight camp setup rather than mixing and matching gear that doesn't quite fit together.

How much weight can a Helinox chair actually hold?

Most Helinox chairs support well over 100kg despite weighing under a kilogram, thanks to the strength of their proprietary DAC aluminium alloy frames. Exact weight limits vary by model, so it's worth checking the specific chair you're after.

Can Helinox chairs be repaired if something breaks?

Yes, Helinox products are designed to be genuinely repairable rather than disposable, and are backed by a 5-year warranty, in line with the brand's "buy quality, buy once" philosophy.

Black Diamond Mission LT 2.0 Women’s Approach Shoes

I’m guessing that the Diamond thieves who smash & grabbed the Crown Jewels from the Louvre & the Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds in Vienna weren’t wearing Black Diamond Mission LT 2.0 Women’s Approach shoes. A woman in these shoes doesn’t need to smash & grab anything. She’s a stealth machine.The only thing she will steal is your attention. These shoes grab the ground, grab your attention & grab your feet as they fly across the room. Black Diamond shoes are not Black Market Diamonds. They might be a steal but they’re the real deal. (Ok I’ve only truly tried them on & walked down my passage so I can’t give an accurate description of how they wear on a trek but the review was requested & the heist is a marketing opportunity that couldn’t be overlooked).

Easy to install and works well

I used it with a 1L nalgene wide mouth and a CamelBak hose and the combination worked very well.
