REI Flex Lite Chair

The REI is a brand new, ultralight camp chair that uses the same poles as a tent. The chair has one pole that converts easily into a chair frame. The poles are DAC ultralight poles which are the same poles used by many ultralight tent companies. The chair fabric itself is made of a strong fabric that is very comfortable to sit in. The only downside I have found to this chair is its size. It sits a little low but this is because it has to cut out the weight of the legs to achieve its super lightweight. It also comes in 4 cool colors: black, blue, orange, and yellow. It is a super comfortable chair and comes in several different colors. Here are the exact features and specifications of the chair:






  • Chair sets up quickly and easily using a DAC aluminum frame similar to the design found in many lightweight tents; features a stable 4-leg design

  • Center seat panels use nylon mono mesh that dries quickly and allows moisture to drain

  • Fabric seat provides support

  • REI Trail Flex Lite chair packs up into the included stuff sack for easy storage and transportation





There are a couple other chairs on the market similar to this chair (A-Lite Mantis) but this chair is not as expensive as the others. REI has done a great job in making a chair that is ultralight and affordable.

REI is the exclusive dealer of this chair so here is the link where you go and purchase this chair and also watch a video about this great piece of gear:
