Michael Hemsworth — February 24, 2026 — Art & Design
The Helinox Chair Zero LT is one of the latest creations from the brand that's engineered with backpack camping in mind to work well for avid explorers. The chair is crafted with a 7000-series DAC alloy frame and nylon resin hubs that work together to achieve a balanced construction to maximize rigidity. The chair incorporates the all-new GhostGrid mesh that consists of a translucent monofilament ripstop mesh that's paired with a two-way stretch to maximize overall durability as well as airflow.
The Helinox Chair Zero LT weighs in at 540-grams or just over one-pound to make it an inherently lightweight option for backpackers. The chair is rated to support up to 265-pounds to make it great for adults without having to worry about durability.
