How It Compares
Helinox Chair One: Both products are very similar in weight, however the YIZI GO sits much lower to the ground which can be more difficult getting in and out of. Helinox has superior brand reputation and known for producing high quality products, however this does come at a higher cost compared to the YIZI GO .
REI Flexlite Air: The YIZI GO is twice the weight as the REI Flexlite Air, but offers more comfort and durability at less than half the price.
Who It’s Intended For
This chair is best suited for casual backpackers, car campers, festival-goers, or anyone needing an easy, portable seat.
