There's no need to rough it while we're backpacking, especially when luxurious comfort is as light and packable as the NEMO Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair. After a long day of logging miles on the trail, there's no greater relief than sitting down around the campfire while dinner heats up, and the seamless mesh seat supports us whether we're sitting upright or leaning back and enjoying the night skies. Ounce counters can enjoy the finer side of life as well, as the lightweight chair weighs only 1 pound and 6 ounces, including the carrying case, and the small pack size can be easily stashed in or on our pack.

Love at First Sit
I work at a certain camping equipment store. Trying it out at work made it a simple decision to relay on the Moonlite Elite as my camping chair!

Ingenious Design
I really like this chair for it's lightweight, small pack size, comfort, and the overall design and execution of the product. It's easy to setup and pack away and barely noticeable when inside or attached to a backpack.

A very good update to a comfy camp
This is my third 'lightweight' camp chair and for me (6'2" 185 lbs) it is almost perfect. Utilizing the bottom platform as both a storage sack and platform to keep the feet stable of soft ground is near genius. My only nit would be the width and back height of the chair. Being tall, I find the back just a tad short. And surprisingly, my thinner frame would prefer an inch or two wider seat. But otherwise, this was a welcome upgrade.

Super lite chair
I agonized for awhile on what chair to buy for backpacking. I go with my wife and our two little kids mostly into the Sierra mountains and love to just sit by waterfalls while the kids play for hours. Sitting on the ground or rocks that long hurts! So I finally decided on the Moonlite Elite and could not be happier. It is SUPER lite. At basically a pound, I could not tell that I added it to my pack honestly. I used it multiple times on the last trip to Glen Aulin and the grand canyon of the Tuolumne in Yosemite National Park. I highly recommend this chair.

Checks all the boxes!
I’ve cycled through a number of ultralight chairs and this one is the best I’ve found. It’s lightweight, compact, comfortable, and with the genius carrying case that doubles as a base for soft ground I’ll take it anywhere. Small and versatile enough to take backpacking, hiking, hunting or to a picnic or concert, I pretty much leave this in the car so it’s always handy.

Great for Backpacking
Chair is super-light, and very comfortable, easy to assemble and fit into your pack. My only knock on it is when leaning back, the corners can sometimes poke your shoulders.

Wonderful chair, wonderfully light
Bought this to replace my backpacking chair after it broke. Wow what an upgrade! Almost a pound saved, can great recline or sit upright with quick adjustment (rather than just slouching) and it sets up/down super easy. I've tried a lot of light weight sitting set ups and this is by far my favorite.

Great piece of gear for leisure packing
Super nice to have when you have no worries and your out for a quick trip. Better than the ground. Lighter than the majority of other options.

Versatile piece of kit
Bought two of these for my wife and I with the intention to use them as chairs for motocamping-- A luxury item that admittedly doesn't always make the cut in my loadout, but at this weight and comfort level, is more likely to make the cut than any others I've ever owned except a stool by another big name outdoor brand which is slightly more compact, but only saves me about an ounce and a half of weight... That being said, the added comfort of the Nemo is more than worth the minor weight discrepancy, and the ability to recline and change body position whilst using the chair has proven incredibly beneficial for my sometimes achy muscles on these kinds of Backcountry trips. We have also taken them backpacking on three separate trips now and have thoroughly enjoyed more relaxing Backcountry camping with it. At the price point, I figured these chairs would pretty much only come out for planned adventures where high quality gear is paramount, but my wife and I regularly find ourselves taking them to the beach seeing as how the carry bag/footprint works beautifully as a sand trap and doesn't let the chair's otherwise narrow feet sink into the soft ground. Absolutely fantastic and can't say enough wonderful things about them. Would have sets of them in both cars if I could afford the luxury!
