Helinox Japan is planning the release of the backpacking chair "Chair Zero LT" and the table "Table Zero LT."
* Chair Zero LT — The lightest chair in history, breaking the 500g barrier
The Chair Zero LT weighs 494g, making it the first backpacking chair in the company's history to weigh less than 500g. This weight is less than a 500ml plastic bottle, significantly reducing the burden during transport.
The material used is the newly developed GhostGrid™. While many conventional outdoor materials require chemical coatings to ensure durability, weather resistance, and strength, GhostGrid™ achieves high strength and abrasion resistance without any coatings, thanks to its high-strength monofilament ripstop structure. Eliminating the coating process directly contributes to both weight reduction and a lower environmental impact.
The frame uses DAC TH72M, the highest standard of 7000-series aluminum alloy adopted by Helinox. It eliminates chemicals previously used in the metal polishing process and utilizes a green anodizing treatment that incorporates recycled aluminum alloy.
By adopting the newly designed X-Strap stabilizer, the chair ensures high ground contact even on sand, soil, or soft ground, preventing sinking and wobbling. When stored, it becomes as compact as a plastic bottle, minimizing the space occupied inside a backpack.
* Table Zero LT — 62% lighter than previous models, a table smaller than a plastic bottle
The Table Zero LT, scheduled for simultaneous release, weighs 237g. This achieves a weight reduction of approximately 62% compared to the conventional Table One model. When stored, it fits into a plastic bottle-sized case, making it possible to use in scenarios where a table would not previously have been carried.
* Total weight of both products under 750g — Fits into a single compartment
The combined weight of the Chair Zero LT and Table Zero LT is less than 750g. Both products can be stored in a single compartment of a backpack. They are intended for use in all outdoor scenes, from morning coffee on a ridge line to meals at a trailhead.
"What else can we remove?" — Every material selection in this product series started with this question. The release of these two products, which simultaneously pursue lightness, durability, and environmental consideration, is highly anticipated.
Scheduled release date: May 2026
