Alite Designs
What would you do after graduating from Stanford Graduate school? If you were Sam Homans, Rob Nail, and Tae Kim, you'd design a better chair. The biggest gripe towards camping chairs is that they're bulky, heavy, and not super comfortable. Homans, Nail, and Kim started Alite Designs to combat all of these. Their design, with it's two legs/feet and cozy looking nylon mesh weighs in at one pound even. They'll be available next spring, just in time for backpacking season.

wow, that’s cool. I want to try one out, hopefully a retailer near me will stock it AND it won’t be too expensive.
