Big Agnes Skyline Ultralight Backpacking Chair for Fast and Light Adventures, Black

Product Information

The angle of repose is adjustable with a sliding buckle, and we found the models that allow you to cinch by pulling down rather than up to be the easiest to use. For minimalist packers who want to roll extra light, the Skyline UL Chair offers a comfy alternative to sitting in the dirt. It is very comfortable, easy to set up, and at 90kg, I am confident I will not cause a structural failure and spill my drinks!

It's hard to pass up this kind of versatility — this foam pad can act as your seat, sleeping pad extension, pack cushion, and more. The wide, 4-legged design with hubless poles enables this seat to be comfortable, stable, compact, and one of the lightest we tested. For an elevated sitting spot from which you can cook dinner, share a snack, or take in the sunset, we are stunned by how much we enjoy the Skyline UL Stool.We weight metrics accordingly based on our experience of what is most important in a backpacking chair, with comfort being at the top of that list, followed by size and weight, stability, and, finally, ease of use. Comfort is decidedly lower in foam chairs — we noted that the PowerLounger curled our shoulders in and dug into our underarms the least. This trail's close proximity to the Big Agnes offices serves as an easy lunch loop for running with dogs or skate skiing with a coworker. This chair is really easy to set up, takes up very little space, and would be a major upgrade from sitting on the ground.

The overall shape of the Skyline is similar to many in this review, but the rear legs have a unique curve at the bottom, broadening the base. There's no getting around the fact that this model is substantially heavier than the superlight models on the market. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.She has backpacked thousands of miles through the Appalachian mountains, the deserts of Southern Utah, and the high Sierra, both alone and with her husband and two girls. If you are going to plop down in a backpacking chair with a full rack still attached, the Big Six is the one to do it in! While it isn't the tallest chair we tried, it sits a full 2 inches higher than the ultralight models. We use dependable and durable materials, a patented hub-less design so trim that when we say ‘packable’ sizes we mean it.
