Nemo Moonlite Elite Reclining Backpacking Chair - Best Summer Gear
Nemo has taken the backpacking chair to new heights with features, build quality and lightweight that other brands can’t match. Their new Moonlite Elite Reclining Backpacking Chair wights just 1lb 6oz / 617g so there is no reason to not take it on your next adventure, whether it be hiking or car camping. The most unique feature is the chair’s reclining option which is made possible with a brand-new suspension system that replaces the supportive webbing for an HTP and Dyneema cord that is super thin yet incredibly strong. This system allows you to select an upright sitting position or a fully reclined option and everything in between. Even though the Moonlite Elite Reclining Backpacking Chair is super light it provides stable support and comfort thanks to the forged aluminum hubs and molded corner mounts. The chair’s seat is made from a custom-engineered, post-consumer recycled mesh that blends polyester and TPU fibres for a seamless design that comfortably cradles the body.Nemo ensured that durability was not sacrificed in the name of weight savings and termed this process as “skeletonizing”. By removing every ounce of unnecessary material and complex design problem-solving and thorough engineering analysis, Nemo was able to create a true backpacking chair that’s unmatched.
The other innovative design feature that Nemo included with the Moonlite Elite Reclining Backpacking Chair is the carrying case which uses a tool roll–style storage option and when not in use, the case doubles as an optional platform that adds stability on sandy loose surfaces. Simply brilliant!
