Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair

Camp comfort at backpacking weight

Lots of camp chairs claim to be suitable for backpacking trips and then you look at the weight and size specs and you realise they’re absolutely not. But here’s one that REALLY is. The NEMO Moonlite Elite tips the scales at just 526g and packs down to the length of a school ruler. They’ve been incredibly crafty about pruning down the weight, replacing the suspension straps on the standard Moonlite with 2mm cordage made from an ultra-strong HTP/Dyneema blend. The hubs for the chair legs are super-light forged 6061 series aluminium, and even the corner mounts have been skeletonised to shave off every last gram. All of which makes it more surprising how comfortable the Moonlite Elite is with a clever reclining system for the ultimate in ultralight decadence. One of our favourite touches is the tool roll-style carry case, which includes corner sleeves so you can use it as a platform on sandy ground.

• The idea of NEMO was born one turbulent night on the side of Mount Washington while Cam Brensinger spent a sleepless five hours in a poorly designed bivy. That night he realised how much opportunity there was for thoughtful design as part of the equation of enjoying adventure. And, coming down off the mountain the next day, he resolved to tackle that challenge. Three days after graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, he founded NEMO Equipment.
