Designed for those who refuse to sacrifice comfort in the wilderness, the Nemo Moonlite Elite is a premium ultralight backpacking chair that blends innovative engineering with exceptional packability. Weighing just over 500g, it’s built for fast-and-light missions where every gram matters, but comfort still counts.

At around 550g, the Moonlite Elite is one of the lightest reclining chairs available, small enough to disappear into your pack, yet comfortable enough to transform camp life.

Perfect for backpacking, bikepacking, wild camping, and minimalist travel, it delivers a rare combination of portability and genuine seated comfort.

Unlike traditional ultralight chairs, the Moonlite Elite features a patent-pending reclining system that allows you to adjust your sitting position on the fly, whether you're eating, relaxing, or stargazing. Its advanced suspension swaps bulky webbing for high-strength cordage (Dyneema® + HTP fibres), delivering smooth adjustment while dramatically reducing weight.
