Meet the next evolution of camp comfort. The Helinox Chair One 2026 takes the legendary, packable chair that started it all and dials it up with smarter tension, a taller seat, and a stronger, more stable frame. From alpine camps to beach sunsets, this is lightweight comfort redefined—without sacrificing durability or packability.

The Chair One 2026 builds on Helinox’s award-winning original with innovative (re) Tension Design, adding a second tension line around the seat perimeter. The result is noticeably better weight distribution, reduced pressure points, and all-day comfort whether you’re swapping trail stories, cooking at camp, or taking a well-earned break mid-adventure.

A redesigned frame with reinforced nylon resin hubs and proprietary DAC aluminum alloy boosts stability and strength while keeping weight impressively low. The 30% taller seat height makes getting in and out easier—especially welcome after long hikes, paddling sessions, or days spent exploring.

Thoughtful details round it out: an integrated side pocket keeps essentials close, reinforced corners enhance long-term durability, and breathable mesh panels improve ventilation in warm conditions. Sustainability also plays a role, with repurposed aluminum in the frame and bluesign®-certified, recycled fabrics throughout—proof that comfort, performance, and responsibility can coexist outdoors.
