Why We Like The NEMO Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair

There's no need to rough it while we're backpacking, especially when luxurious comfort is as light and packable as the NEMO Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair. After a long day of logging miles on the trail, there's no greater relief than sitting down around the campfire while dinner heats up, and the seamless mesh seat supports us whether we're sitting upright or leaning back and enjoying the night skies. Ounce counters can enjoy the finer side of life as well, as the lightweight chair weighs only 1 pound and 6 ounces, including the carrying case, and the small pack size can be easily stashed in or on our pack.

Siterella finally found her Prince Chairing!

Let’s be honest I’m not getting any younger and sometimes camping luxuries become camping necessities. The Nemo Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp chair gives me the best of both worlds thanks to its crazy lightweight but welcome comfort after a long day of hiking. One of my favorite features is the drawcord supports that let me recline or adjust to sit up straight when cooking dinner. As a bonus, the roll-up doubles as a ground sheet if I’m on soft surfaces and prevent me from sinking in. There have been some times when I did feel the chair aggravated the underside of my legs when sitting for long periods as I am a taller person.

Love at First Sit

I work at a certain camping equipment store. Trying it out at work made it a simple decision to relay on the Moonlite Elite as my camping chair!

Ingenious Design

I really like this chair for it's lightweight, small pack size, comfort, and the overall design and execution of the product. It's easy to setup and pack away and barely noticeable when inside or attached to a backpack.

A very good update to a comfy camp

This is my third 'lightweight' camp chair and for me (6'2" 185 lbs) it is almost perfect. Utilizing the bottom platform as both a storage sack and platform to keep the feet stable of soft ground is near genius. My only nit would be the width and back height of the chair. Being tall, I find the back just a tad short. And surprisingly, my thinner frame would prefer an inch or two wider seat. But otherwise, this was a welcome upgrade.

Super lite chair

I agonized for awhile on what chair to buy for backpacking. I go with my wife and our two little kids mostly into the Sierra mountains and love to just sit by waterfalls while the kids play for hours. Sitting on the ground or rocks that long hurts! So I finally decided on the Moonlite Elite and could not be happier. It is SUPER lite. At basically a pound, I could not tell that I added it to my pack honestly. I used it multiple times on the last trip to Glen Aulin and the grand canyon of the Tuolumne in Yosemite National Park. I highly recommend this chair.

Checks all the boxes!

I’ve cycled through a number of ultralight chairs and this one is the best I’ve found. It’s lightweight, compact, comfortable, and with the genius carrying case that doubles as a base for soft ground I’ll take it anywhere. Small and versatile enough to take backpacking, hiking, hunting or to a picnic or concert, I pretty much leave this in the car so it’s always handy.

Great for Backpacking

Chair is super-light, and very comfortable, easy to assemble and fit into your pack. My only knock on it is when leaning back, the corners can sometimes poke your shoulders.

Wonderful chair, wonderfully light

Bought this to replace my backpacking chair after it broke. Wow what an upgrade! Almost a pound saved, can great recline or sit upright with quick adjustment (rather than just slouching) and it sets up/down super easy. I've tried a lot of light weight sitting set ups and this is by far my favorite.

Great piece of gear for leisure packing

Super nice to have when you have no worries and your out for a quick trip. Better than the ground. Lighter than the majority of other options.
