  Thats what Crazy Creek offers with the AirCliner. The brands latest innovation combines a chair and a sleep pad into a single, versatile item. With a light weight of 29 ounces, it rolls up to a compact size of 2.7 inches. The design focuses on ultra-packability and dual-purpose use, Crazy Creek said, so that you can relax and sleep while trimming down your backpacking kit.

  The AirCliner costs $125.
