The short version

Trekology Ultralight is the budget camp chair under $60 that doesn't compromise on weight. We looked at how it compares to the Helinox Chair One and the Coleman Quad at triple the price.

Who it's for

Buy this if: Car campers who want a lighter chair than Coleman at the same price point.

Skip this if: Ultralight backpackers — Helinox Chair One at 2.1 lbs is the correct choice if you're carrying the chair.

In practice

Weight Context

Coleman Quad: 7 lbs, $50, 325 lb capacity, cup holder, armrests. Trekology: 3.5 lbs, $50, 265 lb capacity, minimal features. Same price, 3.5 lbs lighter. The weight matters if you're carrying chairs from a parking lot to a remote site — irrelevant if you drive to the site.

What we loved
+ 3.5 lbs — 50% lighter than Coleman Quad at 7 lbs+ $50 vs. Helinox at $130+ Packs to 14x5 inch cylinder — fits in a standard car trunk camp kit
What we'd change
– 265 lb capacity vs. Coleman's 325 lb — adequate for most users, not for larger adults– Lower to ground than Coleman — harder for older adults to stand from
