It is true that a lightweight chair is not an essential camping gear, however, some might prefer to have a more comfortable sitting arrangement than a log or a tree stump. The best lightweight chairs that are suitable for camping and for taking along on hikes should be portable, have a collapsible frame, and made of a material that is waterproof. Comfort and sturdiness are other factors to look for in a good lightweight chair that you might want to take outdoors along with you.
