Hillsound BTR Stool — Ultralight Tripod Chair for Backpacking & Hiking

Meet the Hillsound BTR Stool

Designed for ultralight adventures, the Hillsound BTR Stool offers a simple, comfortable resting spot during long hikes, festival days, or days on the water. Weighing under 500 g, this compact tripod seat tucks away in a pack side pocket and unfolds in seconds when you need a break.

In the latest BTR-V5 upgrade, Hillsound refined the alloy and manufacturing methods to boost durability while preserving featherweight portability. The lower leg tubes use a high-strength aluminum alloy with thicker walls, and the center piece is forged for extra strength. The result is a seat that handles regular outdoor use without adding noticeable weight.

Common scenarios include camping breaks between stretches of trail, fishing stops by the lake, or chill moments between paddling sessions. The seat is removable via seat tabs and uses a 100% nylon mesh that resists wear and tears over time. When weather shifts, you can swap the seat for a quick wash and air dry, keeping it fresh for the next leg of your journey.

Portability is a core benefit. Weighing under 15 oz and folding to the size of an umbrella, it slips into a pack side pocket, a camera bag, or a bike bottle cage. The load capacity supports reliable seating on uneven ground, making it a versatile companion for a range of outdoor activities.
