Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 is the ground-sitting alternative to Helinox. We looked at how comfort, weight, and dual-use value balance out for backpackers who don't need a raised chair.
Who it's for
Buy this if: Casual hikers and festival campers who want back support without paying Helinox prices.
Skip this if: Anyone over 40 who finds ground sitting uncomfortable — Helinox Chair One's raised seat is more practical.
In practice
Dual-Use Value
Crazy Creek folds flat across the bottom of your pack. At camp, use as a chair with back support. If your sleeping pad is short, lay it flat as an additional pad section. This dual functionality makes the 14 oz carry meaningful — it's doing the work of two items.
