When it comes to adventure gear, every piece has to earn its place. The Helinox Bench One not only earns its keep but becomes a staple for any outdoor setup. This minimalist marvel combines portability, strength, and an aesthetic that has both style and function.
First Impressions
Unboxing the Bench One feels like unwrapping a gift engineered by some outdoor seating wizard. Packed down to approximately 43 cm x 16.5 cm x 16.5 (17” x 6.5” x 6.5”) cylinder case, it’s small enough to sling over your shoulder or tuck into your camper van with ease. The D-ring attachment points? Perfect for clipping to a pack or hanging in the garage when not in use.
Setup & Stability
This bench goes from packed to ready in seconds. The shock-corded poles snap into place with satisfying precision, and the innovative lever-locking system ensures a firm, sag-free seat every time. Whether you’re perched on a rocky outcrop planning your next ascent or enjoying a sunset by the van, the Bench One offers a rock-solid base.
Built for the Wild
The frame is constructed from Helinox’s green anodized DAC aluminum alloy—strong, lightweight, and eco-friendly. The fabric is equally impressive: a recycled, bluesign®-certified 600D polyester that laughs in the face of mud, drizzle, and UV rays. It’s rugged enough for backcountry adventures but refined enough for a backyard BBQ.
Comfort & Capacity
At just over 2.4 kgs (4.5 pounds), it’s light enough to carry anywhere but supports a whopping 190kgs (420 pounds). Whether it’s you and your hiking partner or you and your well-fed Labrador, the Bench One has your back. The tensioned seating surface offers firm support that stays comfortable even during extended use. No sagging, no shifting—just a reliable seat every time.
The Helinox Bench One isn’t just a piece of gear; it’s a game-changer for anyone who values comfort without compromise. Whether you’re road-tripping, backpacking, or simply kicking back at the campsite, this bench delivers the perfect perch. It’s a bit of an investment, but for the quality and versatility, it’s a no-brainer.
Adventure Approved
Would we recommend it? Absolutely. Lightweight, strong, and ridiculously easy to set up, the Helinox Bench One is as ready for adventure as you are.
