Big Agnes Skyline UL Ultralight Backpacking Chair | Discontinued 2024

Ultra-light comfort for fast-and-light trips

Meet the Skyline UL Chair from Big Agnes, a featherweight seat designed for backpackers who value speed and simplicity. Weighing just over a pound and packing down compactly, it pairs a rugged, roomy seat with a surprisingly strong frame that travels well in lean pack setups.

What makes it different

• Hub-less, all-aluminum frame for reduced weight and increased stability
• Deep, wide seat that supports varied sitting positions on uneven ground
• Pre-bent poles plus fully shock-corded, color-coded assembly for quick setup
• Ultralight nylon ripstop fabric with high-tenacity Robic yarn for added strength
• Waterproof UTS coating to handle mountain weather and damp camps
• Trail weight around 1 lb 11 oz, packed weight near 1 lb 12 oz, compact 3.5" x 3.5" x 17"

Real-world use ideas

• Setup fast at a windy campsite to enjoy a stable seat during meals
• Take along on a day hike for a comfortable rest during climbs or photo breaks
• Bring on longer treks where every ounce matters but a steady chair helps with breaks

Durability and weather readiness are built in. The combination of a robust aluminum frame and rugged fabric supports years of trail use, while the waterproof coating helps resist light rain and morning dew. The Skyline UL Chair stores in a small footprint, letting you keep a seat without crowding your pack.
