Thermarest and Sea to Summit both sell a chair sleeve, which converts a compatible camping mat into a chair. This option weighs the same as the Ah Chair, but retails for twice as much, and is fiddly to set up (you have to blow up your compatible mat and fold it inside the sleeve). The Ah Chair, in comparison, is an instant set up product.The other option available on the market is essentially a miniaturised version of your standard hiking chair. To save on weight these chairs usually pare down or completely eliminate the back support. They also tend to be lower to the ground.Even so, the lightest option is the 510g Helinox Chair Zero, with middle-range chairs up to 890g for a Kathmandu Quest chair. These chairs retail for 2-3 times as much as the Ah Chair and weigh 2-4 times as much.Based on my own research, I couldn’t find a hiking chair which beat the Ah Chair on price, support, or weight. It’s also super convenient with an instant set up, and it fits easily in your side pocket. So if you’re the kind of hiker who values some creature comforts on a hike, it’s a very competitive option.
