The Ultimate Backpacking Chair: Mica Basin

Ultralight and Strong

Weighing just 2 pounds, the Mica Basin is the lightest, yet strongest, 22” wide, 19.5” deep backpacking chair available. Its unique design and pre-bent poles offer an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio in an ultralight package. Perfect for long hikes, the Mica Basin packs down small, making it incredibly portable and easy to carry, even for multi-day trips.

Built for Durability

Say goodbye to flimsy poles and wobbly hubs. The Mica Basin uses Big Agnes' patented hub-less frame, made entirely of heavy-duty aircraft aluminum. This design ensures a much sturdier seat that will provide years of support. Unlike other camping chairs, the Mica Basin’s frame is built to last, enduring harsh backcountry conditions.

Exceptional Comfort and Convenience

The Mica Basin features a deeper, wider seat that’s superior to any other ultralight camping chair. Fully shock corded and color-coded, assembly is a breeze—no tools required. Setup takes just seconds, making it a hassle-free experience. Its pre-bent poles ensure a stable and comfortable seating position, providing support where you need it most.

Built for Any Terrain

Designed with ultralight nylon ripstop and high-tenacity robic yarn, the Mica Basin withstands rigorous conditions. The waterproof Universal Textile System (UTS) coating ensures it stays dry in the harshest mountain weather. With a trail weight of 2lb 3oz and packed size of 3.5” x 4.5” x 17.5”, the Mica Basin is perfect for carrying to the moon and back.

Backed by Reliability and Comfort

Big Agnes stands behind the Mica Basin with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason the chair does not meet your expectations, Big Agnes will help you find the right gear to meet your needs. Transform your backpacking experience with the Mica Basin—the perfect combination of lightness, strength, and comfort.
