Knock off versions with the same style are all over amazon[1] at a 5th of the price. Im sure the helinox versions are better but 5x better?

At the last few grams, a small reduction gets very expensive. Helinox are super light, great for hiking and motorcycles. If you’re in a car, you can take a lot more with you.

Guarantee the knock off versions use cheap pot metal rivets and will fall apart after 4 uses.
