Helinox Savanna High-Back Collapsible Camp Chair

I have been so excited about this chair I had to write a review, even though I've barely had it for more than a day. I have been trying to find a collapsible but comfortable chair to use in my minivan camper setup. The setup is primarily for visiting my grandkids, but I also love to go out there and have my evening coffee as the evening cools. I wanted a chair that could easily get small enough to put in the front seat when it's time to get some sleep. What a journey to find that chair! I literally purchased 7 other chairs, decent brands, but each one had its flaws and none of them worked. I finally looked at Helinox, knowing that the cost set them apart but so did their quality. I did a quick learn on how each of their chairs differs and quickly realized that the Savanna came up at the top in comfort. That was my key word. I took the measurements and compared them to the limited space I had for the chair and it seemed that it might be close but it should work. I watched several reviews and learned that this chair is undeniably top notch in quality and comfort. I decided to purchase one for myself. All I can say is that I was excited when first handling it to see its obvious superior quality compared to the others. It went together very easily and definitely without the "strain" required on the other brands. My first sit in the chair was just as they said - wonderful, comfortable, no pressure points, nothing but quality! What a joy! Then I had to test it inside my minivan. Would it fit? As you can see in the pictures, while it is generous in size, it fit easily inside the space I had for "a chair". In fact, it fit better than any of the others, even those with smaller frames, in how the support bars were positioned relative to the cot I use for my bed (with sleeping pad on it). Just more WOWS to my surprised. After almost three months, I finally found "the one". I am so happy! The workmanship is obvious. The fabric is quality and definitely surpasses any of the other brands I had tried. The stitching on it and even on the carrying case reflects that quality as well. With this chair there is no wondering how long it will last etc. You can tell that it will but there is a 5 year warranty on it. The height of the chair is wonderful! It easily fit inside my minivan and I am surprised at how comfortable it is to have a pillow in the pillow holder as well. It's the kind of chair that makes you yawn soon after you sit down in it. It is literally perfect!! I may keep it "set up" for lengths of time. But knowing who quickly and easily it assembles, I will always have the option to detach the fabric and detach the chair legs quickly if I want to just put it entirely away. I honestly cannot say enough about this chair. Having tried a few other brands and styles, I will say that the knockoffs aren't all bad, but for someone looking for a chair that meets all the needs without any hidden flaws or failures, this one is it. It sure helped to have it on sale since that made it a little easier to justify it. But having seen the chair, its case, and all of its quality, I honestly cannot say that it would not be worth the price if it had cost me more. SO thankful for this chair. I anticipate getting a lot of use and a lot of quiet time and cups of coffee with it!

I'm 6'5 and this highback actually supports my head. I have several ultralight chairs, and this is probably a bit too heavy to be called that, but it's so comfortable the extra weight is definitely worth it. Assembles easy, and very stable.

I'm 6' tall, 250lbs and have long struggled to find a comfortable camping chair. The two fatal flaws most chairs have is the crossbar that causes your legs to go numb, and for those of us that dance dangerously close to 300lbs durability/strength. This chair has no crossbar, I've got many hours of field-use and have never felt discomfort, and it's super skookum (durable). The frame has thick wall tubes made of high quality aluminum, I've never felt that I may break it or even come close. For those reasons alone I love this chair, but if you add in how compact and light it is when collapsed down in the carrying case it really makes it something awesome! I travel frequently for work, and have had this in my roller bag for several months, it doesn't eat up space or add weight but boy is it nice to be able to whip out a chair should the need arise (especially while flying during the covid era, seating can be limited...). I've, of course, used it while camping/during recreation as well and it again performs as expected. The only things I can ding the Helinox on is ridiculously priced accessories, like the shoulder strap for the carry bag (which, honestly, should be included with a $200 chair). But it's easy enough to find cheaper alternatives. Also, the sewn in cup holders won't work terribly well for open-top beverages but the Helonix rigid cup holder accessory is very reasonable priced, and works well to solve this Is it cheap? No. Do I think it's worth every penny? Yes.

I really like the chair, it packs up small and is relatively lightweight for a big chair. The only downside is it's top heavy and tips over in the wind.

One of the most comfortable camping chairs I've ever sat in. I really like the way the back leans back about 10 to 15° versus being straight up and down like most camping chairs. These chairs are extremely lightweight coming in at around 4 lb. They also pulled up to a measurement of about 16 in by 6. In. This leaves much more space for packing other gear. Really, really nice chair!

Okay, so I know this chair is on the expensive side…but it is SO worth the price! I do not drive, so whenever I go to an outing, picnic, concert, etc., and need to bring a chair along, I wanna bring something that is light, compact and easy to manage on public transit or for a lengthy walk. This chair is it. It is just so stunningly light and small…and yet, for all the lightness and portability, it's actually a real, bona-fide comfy chair. It does ride slightly low, but just *slightly*…you are not going to feel like the rest of the world is sitting above you. The way the chair assembles and packs is just crazy ingenious…the aluminum rods that are its frame are connected together by bungee-style cording…everything quickly and easily falls into place once you unfold the frame. Now one thing I would caution about is to make sure that every rod is fit snugly together…I could see how things would go awry if you aren't careful to make sure every rod is fit snugly in place. And crazy thing is, when you first see the frame rods, you might think (I know I did) that this chair cannot hold 300 pounds…yet it can. But it's important to make sure everything is snug. Also, the instructions advise lying the chair on its back to attach the seat and seat back and I would absolutely agree with that. Unless you lay the chair flat on its back, installing the seat and seat back will seem pretty much impossible. Just follow the directions on that. Also, once the seat and seat back are firmly in place, the Helinox chair will suddenly feel quite strong. It's truly amazing. Long story short…I had a number of people tell me that they really didn't feel like lugging a chair to some event…and then I hand them the Helinox and then you see the awe.

My favorite chair! I finally found a chair my husband likes and it packs down so small in the car. We were so tired of bulky lawn chairs. This really fixes that problem and they are so comfortable. I bought the Sunset and my husband this one because it is bigger. These go up so easily. Not sure why I read reviews that they are hard to assemble. Just hold the center bar and they basically snap together with a magnetic connection. I also bought it foot stools and the cup holders. Altogether they still do not worth as much as one cheaper chair and these will definitely hold up for a long time. Seams are well co stricter and material is great. Glad I bought this investment in comfort around the fire.

This chair is the bomb. Lightweight. Packs small. Super comfy with high back. Pricey but worth it.

Der Savanna Chair von Helinox ist tatsächlich so ruckizucki auf- und abgebaut wie beschrieben. Er fühlt sich stabil und wertig an, gefällt mir richtig gut und punktet für mich vor allem mit seinem geringen Packmaß und seinem wohnmobilfreundlichen Gewicht. Endgültig überzeugte mich beim Probesitzen aber seine hohe Rückenlehne und die Sitzhöhe die ich bei dieser Art von Stühlen nicht erwartet hatte. Auch die Sitztiefe fühlt sich für mich nicht unangenehm an. Für mich. Mein Mann hat sich nach dem Probesitzen für einen größeren, schwereren Campingstuhl zum Klappen entschieden. - Aktualisierung nach meiner ersten Saison mit dem Helinox-Campingstuhl: Mein Mann hat sich nun tatsächlich ebenfalls einen gekauft. Durch meinen Tipp mit den 2 Kissen (auf der Sitzfläche und unter der Nackenlasche) haben schließlich auch für ihn die Vorteile überzeugt. Ich bin 1,60m. Ein ganz einfaches Zierkissen (aus dem Wohnmobil), das genau auf die Sitzfläche passt (und darauf hält, also nicht wie nach dem Lesen anderer Rezensionen vermutet davonrutscht), macht das aufrechte Sitzen am Tisch für mich noch angenehmer. Beim relaxten Zurücklehnen ist es besonders bequem die Beine hochlegen zu können. Dafür gibts bei uns einen kleinen Klapphocker. Das Sitzkissen (mein ganz persönlicher Tipp der bestimmt nicht für Jeden passt) dient dann z.B. als Buchstütze auf dem Bauch. 😉 Die angedeuteten Armlehnen sind eine platzsparende aber trotzdem sehr gelungene Lösung und die beidseitig angebrachten Cupholder sind praktisch. Für Handy, Brille, Getränk z.B. Im Sommer werde ich bestimmt sehr froh über den Sitzbezug mit Netzeinsätzen sein. Für die kühleren Temperaturen habe ich mir den schwarzen, beidseitig nutzbaren Original-Sitzwärmer gegönnt. Wenn schon, denn schon. 😉 Ein kleines Reisekissen, das ich unter der dafür vorgesehenen Lasche an der Rückenlehne eingeschoben habe, passt unter diesen Bezug. Wer nicht so wie ich Extrakissen mitnehmen möchte kann die Tragtasche des Sessels zum Kissen umfunktionieren. Zum unten drunter Einhängen taugt die Packtasche vom Savanna übrigens nicht. Nachdem ich für standfestere Sesselfüße auf weichem Untergrund nichts selber basteln wollte, kommt bei uns in die kleine Packtasche auch noch das Original Ground Sheet für den Savanna Chair. Es passt hinein. (Der Überzug hat eine eigene leichte Hülle) Fazit: Ob meine rundum positive Bewertung und der Preis berechtigt sind, wird erst die längere Nutzung zeigen. Ich habe vor meine Rezension bei Bedarf dementsprechend anzupassen!
