Trailhead Collapsible Camp Chair
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Fiberglass-reinforced nylon frame rated to 500 lbs
YETI's Trailhead is the brand's collapsible camp chair — same overbuilt approach as their coolers applied to a chair. The frame is fiberglass-reinforced nylon rated to 500 lbs, the seat fabric is YETI's PermaWeave 600-denier polyester treated for UV and water resistance, and the carry bag is a heavy-duty nylon shoulder bag (not the flimsy bag that ships with most camp chairs). r/Camping, r/Overlanding, and r/CampingGear surface YETI Trailhead as the premium camp chair — the equivalent of buying a YETI cooler instead of an Igloo. Service life is 10+ years; the chair's only consumable wear point is the carry bag handle (replaceable from YETI). Made in the Philippines.
