Oh man, I've had a deal alert set for this for a long time. Looks like it's not the lowest it's ever been, but almost $40 off retail is pretty good. Trying to stop myself from spending money unnecessarily, but... I want it.

It's $89.89 at REI too. Do they ever have coupon codes to bring the price down? Would much rather buy from a brick and mortar, especially since REI makes returns so simple and hassle-free.

I know it's light, but christ who would pay $90 for what's little more than pipe cleaners with fabric?

Backpackers who are willing to carry 1 lb for an awesome luxury item? If all you ever do is car camp or sit at sporting events, get a cheap Walmart chair that weighs 8 lbs. If you want comfort in the backcountry and you're aiming for ultralight or close to it, then you know that good gear is usually pricey.

I was in the same boat. No tax to NC was what pushed me over. Beats current REI sale price by $15.
I already have Chair One and take it kayaking and bike touring.
At 500g I can see myself taking this one backpacking or as a second chair kayaking in case Chair One gets occupied (it is quite popular at sunset

Yes, but unless those struts are titanium, it's a total rip off and since there's no mention of titanium, you can be sure it's NOT titanium and most likely aluminum which is cheap.

This is at REI outlet for $74. Code annv20 gives you extra 20 percent off one item if you're a member. Subtotal price for me was 59.78. It's a chair one not a chair 0 though.
