Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair Kit, Nylon, 20-Inch – Lightweight Camp Chair System

Meet the Trekker Chair Kit

Designed for campers who value comfort on the go, the Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair Kit translates the familiar camp chair into a modular, ultra-light form. It’s built to travel with you—whether you’re road-tripping to a remote site or backpacking overnight—so you can pause, perch, and recharge without unpacking a full chair. At roughly 290 g (10 oz), this kit blends durability with portability, making it one of the best combinations of weight and comfort in a chair system you can add to your pack.

Two widths, elastic sleeves, and pad compatibility

In 2017, the Trekker Chair Kit was redesigned to fit NeoAir and most self-inflating sleeping pads using updated elastic sleeves. The design remains lightweight and compact, with two width options to accommodate different pad profiles. Note that pads are not included, so you can pair the kit with your preferred sleeping pad when you’re ready to rest.

Why it works for campers

• All-around comfort: blends lightweight durability with a comfortable sitting experience in a portable chair kit
• Versatile design: two widths and elastic sleeves fit NeoAir and most self-inflating sleeping pads
• Easy to use: quick setup and a small footprint when packed away
• Weight: 290 g (10 oz), so it travels with minimal impact to your load
• Fitment: designed to accommodate mattresses up to 20 inches wide (pad not included)

Real-life use and benefits

Imagine a relaxed break after a long day on the trail, or a quiet moment by the campfire where you can read, eat, or chat in comfort. The Trekker Chair Kit enhances these moments by providing a stable seat that won’t weigh you down. Pair it with your chosen pad for a seated position near your tent, or use it on gravel, grass, or sand where a solid chair makes a big difference. While it isn’t a guarantee of comfort, this modular chair system offers a tangible improvement in camp seating without adding bulk to your pack.

Care and pairing tips

Pad compatibility is a key feature, with elastic sleeves designed to hold NeoAir and many self-inflating pads. Remember, the pad itself is not included, so you can select a pad that matches your sleep system and personal preference. When not in use, the Trekker Chair Kit packs down small for easy stowage in a backpack, duffel, or car seat pocket.
