Floor Denier: Tent: 0.66 oz/sqyd Standard Dyneema Composite Floor: 1 oz/sqyd Standard Dyneema Composite.Because of the well-rounded nature and low price tags, the Gossamer Gear One and Two are our pick for the best overall ultralight tent. We were able to sit up and have our head at the high point without needing to scoot around to position ourselves. We like the slightly offset high point of this tent. The set-up overall is straightforward but does take a little fiddling to get the tension just right. We also found we needed a decent-sized space to pitch these. These don’t perform super well in high winds. While it was hard for us to find any major flaws, we recommend pitching in a sheltered spot if possible. We especially recommend these tents for a user who is trying out their first non-freestanding tent. Compared to other models we tested, these tents are some of the lightest, they pack down super small, have large vestibules, average internal space, side entry, and come at a very competitive price point. For us, the thing that makes The One and The Two stand out is how truly well-rounded they are. DWR Waterproofing: Nylon RipStop SIL/PU fabric waterproof to at least 1800mmĬheers to Gossamer Gear for making these minimalist beauties.

Seat: 1.9 oz ripstop nylon, PU coated, blackĭimensions Packed (LxWxD): 13.25 x 2.75 x 1.5 in. If you find the chair seat material slippery, try a pad on top. When used under the seat, the pad slips into the integrated pouch. The pad can be placed either under the chair seat or on top and adds just 0.98 oz (27.8 g). No extra bag to keep track of.įor a little more cushion and insulation from the ground, add our Folding Sit Pad. When you reach the bottom, tuck the roll into the integrated pouch. Starting at the top with the dirty side in, roll the poles inside the seat. The poles are shockcorded and connected in an assembly so they're easy to pack without loosing any pieces. Simply remove the poles from the seat and fold them in half. When its time to pack up, the chair folds into a compact, self-contained package. To make adjustments, just reach back and grab the poles, lean forward a little, and move them to a better position. Large diameter rubber feet keep the poles from sinking into the ground. Then prop up the poles behind you and lean back on the chair. Next you sit on the wide end of the seat on the ground with the poles under the fabric. First you insert the poles in the reinforced pockets on the chair back, crossing them in an X pattern. The design is super simple but it takes a little getting used to because unlike most chairs, this one doesn't stand on its own. Heck, you could even take it with you to the park or outdoor concert. 
The QwikBack UL Chair is made of durable materials - ripstop nylon seat and twill carbon fiber poles - for years of backcountry enjoyment. Well, nothing, but after a long day of hiking or even at a lunch stop, something comfortable to lean back on just makes life more enjoyable. At just 2.65 oz (75 g), it's hard to leave at home. The QwikBack™ UL Chair changed our thinking and made backpacking more relaxing. But most are too heavy and bulky to even consider carrying as a luxury item. Folds into a compact, self-contained packageĪfter several days of hiking, one thing we miss in the backcountry is a chair.
