NEMO 2025 Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair

|
About This Item

Weighing in at just 1.1 pounds, the Moonlite™ Elite reclining backpacking chair eliminates any excuse to leave comfort behind when you hit the trail. Offering both reclining suspension and stable support, Moonlite Elite features innovative design solutions that remove unnecessary weight and help the chair nest easily in your pack.

The chair’s brand-new suspension system trades webbing for slim cordage that blends HTP and Dyneema®, two fibers that have proven their strength and water resistance through time-tested use in rock-climbing, sailing, and other safety-critical activities. This high-strength cord feeds through a beautifully designed piece of hardware (inspired by belay devices) which is lightweight, unobtrusive, and allows for smooth reclining of the chair.

Both the forged aluminum hubs and molded corner mounts have been strategically optimized for weight while maintaining impressive strength and reliable durability. This process of “skeletonizing” the hardware removes every ounce of unnecessary material and is the result of complex design problem-solving and thorough engineering analysis. The result? An elevated, thoughtful design and a true backpacking chair that’s unmatched in the market.

Equally unique is Moonlite Elite’s carrying case, the tool roll–style Platform Pack™ which can double as an optional platform that adds stability on sandy surfaces.

Finally, the chair’s seat is made from a custom-engineered, post-consumer recycled mesh that blends polyester and TPU fibers for a seamless design that comfortably cradles the body. This seamless seat design attaches to the frame with minimized ball-and-socket connectors that rotate and align with the body to avoid any uncomfortable pressure points.

Features:

  • At just 1 lb. 2 oz., Moonlite™ Elite is a true backpacking-friendly weight for bringing comfort on the trail
  • Patent-pending reclining system allows you to adjust your sitting angle for dining, working on a laptop, or carefree relaxing
  • Skeletonized forged aluminum hubs radically cut weight from the design while providing impressive strength and reliable durability
  • Frame poles connect to the lightweight molded corner mounts with a satisfying click
  • Premium forged 6061 series aluminum hubs and 7001 series aluminum tubes are built for a lifetime of use and stability
  • The seamless seat design is made possible by custom-engineered mesh that conforms better to different body shapes
  • Each pole in the frame has a unique diameter and shape optimized for weight and strength
  • 100% recycled materials are used in mesh, edge binding, and webbing —mesh and reclining hardware are bluesign® approved
  • Includes a tool roll–style Platform Pack™ carrying case that doubles as an optional platform for sandy surfaces

Exceptional

6'3", 219 lbs Wow, very comfortable. I've owned a therm-a-rest w/chair frame you stuff it into for 25 yrs. Finally made the change. Adjustability is spot on -not too much/too little. Recline position is absolutely perfect ! Well balanced, the top " chair section" sways just a bit- but the foundation never even flexes. It's a dream to sit in. The bottom frame points are perfectly distanced to allow your arms to hang and chill with your thumbs hanging over one end. You can easily/comfortably cross your legs. Negatives: I'm searching.

Sturdy And Super Light, Quick Set Up.

I've long been the person content to just sit on my pack, a rock, or the dirt. Carrying the weight of even a "lightweight" chair, had been too heavy in the past - or the fabric frames to shove my groundmat in made the worst of chairs, frankly. The Nemo Elite is a GAMECHANGER. Super light, easy to set up, and sturdy. comfortable to sit in, and I'm 6'2, 205. A huge improvement from my sitting rock. ;.)

Light And Packable

I have both the standard model and this one, the improvements on this one are great. I’m 6’2” 230 and I think the picture of the gentleman in the photos section does a great job of setting expectations, bigger people won’t really be sitting, more lounging. For something the size of my water bottle I’m pleased with the comfort. I love not needing to carry the extra case for this model. With both this and the other one wind is an issue. Being this light the back is a sail when you get off of it so it can be concerning if you’re sitting near a fire or water. I prefer this model because you can set your water bottle on the base and not worry about losing the chair if it’s breezy.
