Moonlite Reclining Chair

Super light weight, and strong

I got this chair over the moonlight elite as this one was more comfortable and a little more heavy duty. Great chair the the weight difference between this one and the elite was neglagabl.

Real comfort

I’ve been debating this purchase with myself for over a year and finally pulled the trigger. I am so happy that I did, this chair is more comfortable than most of my furniture and definitely more comfortable than any lawn furniture. I fine tuned my pack for a net increase in weight of 16oz and an increase in comfort of 1000%.

Excellent chair

Love it, it's very light - light enough for my needs, and seats very comfortably. What more could one ask for? It appears to be very sturdy from using it over a weekend. Looking forward to more adventures with this chair!

I love this little chair

I bought two of these and keep thinking about buying more. I use this chair most frequently at dispersed campgrounds where I want to be able to quickly take items in while I'm away from the site. I got a second one because it's so compact and easy to have on hand for friends who don't have as much camping gear. More often than not, I'm wishing that I had another one or two because people always seem to underestimate how nice it is to bring chairs camping and they co-opt my seat when I get up. Several friends have bought this chair after using my extra one. The convenience factor really grows on people by the second time we camp together. They want their own to toss in their camping gear bins. You don't have to remember about packing a more luxurious chair that doesn't even fit in the bin and then it taking up more space in the trunk. It's not the most cushioned chair in the world, but its still a good one to add to the arsenal. The points to attach the seat to the frame are very stiff for the first dozen or so uses, but it gets more pliable in time without becoming so pliable that it's concerning.

Well rounded design but not without flaws

I've had this chair for about two years now. Intermittent use throughout but I recently used it leisurely to sit around while deployed where Im getting the bulk of my proper experience with it. I know that at one point during my ownership this product was updated so take everything Im about to say with a grain of salt as some of if not all of the issues may have been corrected. To start things off, the chair is very comfortable in both the reclined and upright position. I occasionally did notice the two rear limbs of the frame digging into my back (and to be fair I have a wide back) but I got around that by slouching into the chair more. Reclining is pretty easy with the toggles and for awhile the seat would maintain the position set. Ive noticed lately though that the sliders have lost their ability to maintain tension and now fully recline the seat. Im not sure if this has to do with me being 10lbs heavier than before but the experience seems to be the same when my lighter coworkers sit in it so I can only chalk it up to overall wear and tear of the slider mechanism. My biggest gripe Ive had with the chair is that the frame has begun to break through where the ball joint meets up with the plastic socket on the corner of the seats. As of writing this the current moonlite has a weight capacity of 300lbs. Im not exactly close to it but I am a stout 235 and 6'1. I dont know if the previous versions had a lower weight limit but I have seen this with one other review. Ultimately I was very happy with this seat and I believe I got my moneys worth out of it, I just hope the issues have been fixed in future iterations.

I’m never camping/backpacking without this!

I bought this chair for a 14 day backpacking trip. When i say the one thing i looked forward to when getting to camp was this chair…it was the first thing set up! It fit easily in my pack. Was so easy to set up and tear down. Worth the small amount of extra weight by a million! 10/10 love it!

Great Portable Chair

Had mine for about a year and I love this chair! It is small and light which makes it easy to carry on day hikes and to the kids' football and soccer games. It's also comfortable enough to work as a regular camp chair. I also really like that it is simple to put together and the hammock style makes it easy to shift around to get comfortable.

Super lightweight and comfortable

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Great purchase. I've been using it on my patio, living room, lake beach and campsites and so far have no complaints. The feet are large enough to stay stable on sand and it's nice that you can adjust the back with the side straps. Possibly buying a second down the road!

Sadly returning

Nice chair but, arthritis making it far too difficult to assemble and repack.

storage bag

Great chair but zipper should be a little longer on the stuff sack-
