Where it makes sense
Chair Zero’s listed packed weight is 531g, compared with 1115g for Chair One (re); the calculated difference is 584g per chair. Its 14-by-4-by-4-inch case also suits a smaller packing gap. Those savings are useful when a chair will be carried on foot. They come with a 265-pound manufacturer capacity and a low seat that needs a sit-and-stand trial. For a chair used beside the car, let ease of entry and standing decide whether the lighter package is worthwhile.
The tradeoff
Low seat profile and 265-pound capacity limit its suitability for some campers
