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.

Moonlite Elite Chair
I recently purchased this chair to replace something similar from another company. I look forward to using it on my Sea Kayak trips along the Maine Coast. The soil on many of the islands is easily pierced with the small chair feet found on competitors chairs, and the included case with the Moonlite Elite should prevent this from happening. I also like the fact that the case will almost always be attached to the chair, so it won't be blown away. I also hope that I will be able to find room for it on my Bikepacking trips. Sitting off the ground is a wonderful treat after a long day on the go.

Super light and Comfortable
This chair has been great for backpacking. It packs down very small and it's super light. The Moonlite Elite is also quite comfortable and I love the recline adjustability!

Lightweight essential gear
Chairs used to be considered an endulgence item. Too cumbersome to bring with you on hikes. Too awkward to use anywhere but camping. Then enters the Moonlite Elite. So versatile. It’s extremely light. It can set up almost anywhere with the mesh base. The seatback reclines. I love it. Now I have a chair that packs up light enough and useful enough to become a mandatory part of my base camping gear. I will not leave home without it.

Super light and comfortable
Great size and weight for backpacking or any activity where every bit of space and weight matters. Sturdy and well made like all other Nemo products. A bit tight at first to get connected but very well thought out and way better than everything else out there that I researched.

I want to love this chair so bad!
The Moonlight Elite is a Shining example of NEMO's expert engineering, bringing excellent gear to the backpacking and ultralight community. However, I am just too broad for this chair. I have a Helinox L, which I have used for years, and the build quality of the Moonlight Elite meets and, in some cases, exceeds that of the Helinox. However, I simply don't fit in this chair. the positive click when engaging the frame to the seat is excellent and utilizing the case (its not really a bag) as the ground sheet to prevent the legs from sinking is a superb idea (I had to make a custom ground sheet for my Helinox out of DCF. So cheers to NEMO but the Moonlight Elite is not for me....

Incredible chair!
I was shocked when I took this chair out of the package and felt how light it is. I’m a bigger guy and was happy with how sturdy it felt when I sat in it. I would definitely buy this chair again, it lives up to quality you get when you buy Nemo. I also have two tents, tensor air pad, and a duffel and I love them all.

Best chair ever
I honestly love this chair. Not only is it great for backpacking but also any event where you don’t have a lot of carrying capacity. And I love bringing it around my friends to show off to be honest. I also really like the case that it comes in to keep it from sinking into damp grass. It just seems like a product that will last a long time.

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.
