Just bought one at £21 ..... its rated 150kg (I note the cheaper eBay ones are rated at 100kg)
So, I am hoping that my 87kg frame shouldn't bust it .... too soon ?

I've got a standard Helinox copy and the high back one, both are great. What was interesting was comparing the standard one to an original Helinox. If you looked really closely some of the details on the injection moulded fittings where absolutely identical, other than the obvious logo you could not tell the difference and all the parts where fully interchangeable.

I bought 3 of them, 2 being for mates.

For £8.99 each with free postage, I thought I couldn't go wrong. Well they arrived today and I'm very impressed with them I have to say. The original Helinox version is around £130, and to me, that's just taking the pish!

The tubing and the plastic moulded parts seem well made and the actual seat material feels identical to that on my more expensive Outwell chairs I have for car camping.

If they're still available, give them a go....
