I’ve been a long-time fan of Crazy Creek’s chairs. This Montana-based company has provided me with years of comfort in camp on dozens of backpacking and bikepacking trips. Last fall on a backpacking trip in the Wallowas I decided to leave it behind at the car to save weight, a move I regretted each day as I leaned awkwardly and uncomfortably into a slouching backpack during my sacred morning coffee and evening happy hour.
Now with their new Aircliner Chair, backcountry skiers, snowshoers and winter hikers, and resort aprè skiers can enjoy on-snow and cold-weather Crazy Creek comfort too. The Aircliner provides a baffled air cushion that’s easily inflatable with five breaths or less, which keeps your bum warm and dry while you chill. The chair is also still highly packable, rolling into a 2.7-inch diameter bundle, and light enough at 29 ounces to justify packing it with you into the snowy wilds. MSRP: 124.95. Crazycreek.com
