You’ve just finished making yourself some coffee and now all you want to do is sit down, relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain view. If the ground is cold, you basically have 2 options. You can either sit on a camping mattress or you can use a camping chair. Backpackers usually opt for the first option because camping chairs are usually too heavy for backpacking.
At just 18 ounces, the Alite Monarch is one of the few camping chairs that you can take backpacking without straining your back too much or taking too much space in your backpack. It’s super comfortable thanks to the innovative design. Instead of 4 or 3 legs, the Alite Monarch only has 2, and it rocks! It literally rocks!
It rocks because balancing on the 2 rubber feet allows you to rock forward and back. It’s a rocking camping chair which you might find very satisfying. There are even mesh panels on the side of the chair to keep you cool.
Unlike most camping chairs, the Alite Monarch packs smaller than most sleeping pads and sleeping bags. It’s so small you can almost fit it in your jacket pocket. It’s probably the lightest and smallest backpacking chair in the world.
So far we’ve not found any backpacking chair that even comes close to the Alite Monarch.
