Looking for a way to add some stability and prevent those annoying leg-swallowing dips in soft ground with your Helinox chair? Look no further than the Stabilizing Rubber Ball Feet. This set of four adds a significant improvement to your chair's performance on uneven surfaces.
Here's the breakdown:
Perfect fit: These ball feet are designed specifically for Helinox chairs with 45mm legs. This includes popular models like the Chair One Original, Chair Two, Chair One Mini, Chair Zero, Chair One Large, and Speed Stool. There's also a 55mm version compatible with Sunset Chair, Swivel Chair, Chair One XL, Savanna Chair, and Bench One.
Say goodbye to sinking: The durable rubber construction provides excellent grip on a variety of surfaces, including sand, rocks, mud, and grass. In my experience, they've been a lifesaver on beaches and campsites with loose soil. No more losing leg covers (or your sense of dignity) thanks to the disappearing chair leg phenomenon!
Easy installation: These are a breeze to put on and take off. Simply slide them over the existing chair feet with a little pressure, and you're good to go. No tools or complicated assembly required.
Storage friendly: They fit perfectly inside the original chair bag without needing to remove the existing leg covers. This is a huge plus for keeping everything organized and together.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
Not a sand miracle worker: While the ball feet help significantly on sand, they're not a magic bullet. Super soft sand can still cause some sinking, especially if you're a heavyweight camper. Think of them as extra support, not a complete solution for super fine beach days.
Requires existing leg covers: These ball feet fit over the existing leg covers, so make sure you haven't lost those before you invest.
Cost Considerations:
Of course, you can always get them directly from the Helinox manufacturer website. They also offer some pretty slick Vibram-soled versions. However, there are also cheaper, third-party options available.
Here's my take: These ball feet are a consumable item. Let's be honest, there's a good chance you might lose one or two along the way, especially on loose terrain. So, depending on your budget and how likely you are to keep track of them, the cheaper options might be the way to go. Do you really need the absolute top-of-the-line quality if there's a chance it's going to end up buried in the desert somewhere?
Ultimately, the choice is yours. But whether you go with the official Helinox brand or a more budget-friendly alternative, the Stabilizing Rubber Ball Feet are a great way to upgrade your Helinox chair's performance.
