Summary
The Flexlite is a scoop-shaped camp chair similar to the highest-rated Helinox Chair Zero but at a fraction of the price. That fraction is usually 1/2 but can be as low as 1/3 during a sale.
At the size of two Nalgenes and under 1.5 pounds, it’s worth it to strap to your pack for a comfortable seat at your destination. The small size isn’t just convenient for hiking. It is small enough to keep in the car for impromptu park visits or watching those kids’ soccer games in comfort.
Most, but not all, people enjoy the size and shape of this chair but as always with REI products, you can test it out yourself and return it if it doesn’t work out.
Who Should Buy?
If you’re looking for a comfortable camp chair that is small and light enough to take anywhere without a heavy hit to the wallet.
