Nemo says: 

Take Moonlite™ into the backcountry and experience the feeling of weightlessness as you lean back under the stars. Easy to set up and barely noticeable in your pack, Moonlite is your go-to chair for every adventure, from a picnic in the park to an extended backpacking adventure. Oversized tubes, paired with forged aluminum hubs, create exceptional strength and stability. And best of all, Moonlite is the only chair of its kind with an adjustable seating position, making it ideal for dining or reclining.

The exceptional comfort of the Moonlite chair comes from a custom-engineered, asymmetrical mesh that stretches to accommodate and support a variety of body types without needing seams. This unique seamless seat attaches to the frame with Y-molded ball-and-socket connectors that rotate and align with your body to avoid uncomfortable pressure points. The adjustable seating position paired with quality construction make for a transformative sitting experience in a packed weight and size that fits any adventure.

True to our mission of sustainability, Moonlite uses 100% post-consumer recycled materials for the webbing and mesh, while the reclining hardware and seat mesh are bluesign® approved.

Our Verdict

Despite this chair’s low weight of just 873g, it feels incredibly sturdy to sit on, it’s made from solid and very light aluminium poles, and the base of the chair’s feet are wider than most camping chairs, spreading the weight over a larger area.

The chair is intuitive to set up; the bungee cord draws the poles into place, then attach the mesh sling over the poles, and you are ready to relax.

The chair’s stand-out feature is the chair’s reclining system; incredibly simple to adjust, just like a rucksack shoulder strap, you can recline right back to gaze at the stars or sit the chair upright to eat dinner; this is the feature I really like about this chair.
