Stuff We Want: NEMO Stargaze EVO-X Reclining Chair, for Watching Meteors Without Lying in Wet Grass

Meteor shower searches are spiking today, and the Draconids are on the menu. Here is how a meteor shower usually goes for a regular person: you drag a beach chair into the yard, sit bolt upright, crane your neck at the sky like you're waiting on a ceiling leak, and see one streak in forty minutes. Your neck sees all of it.

The NEMO Stargaze EVO-X is a camp chair built for exactly this. It's not a chair with legs. It's a seat that hangs from a folding X-style steel frame, so it swings.

NEMO says it auto-reclines to your preferred angle: you lean back, shift your weight, and the chair follows. No levers, no clicking through notches, no hunting for the right setting in the dark while your friend yells "did you see that one?"

The tensioned straps hold a deep recline that NEMO says gives you a full view of the night sky. Which is the whole point. Your eyes go up, your neck stays out of the conversation, and the swinging motion does the rest.

The frame folds and sets up in seconds, and the steel holds up to 300 pounds. The name is literally Stargaze. They knew what they were doing.

Fair warning: a smooth, easy swinging chair, a dark yard and a quiet sky is also a very good recipe for a nap. You might wake up for the best meteor of the night. You might not. Either way you'll be comfortable.

Who it's for: backyard sky-watchers, campers who stay up past the fire, anyone who has said "okay, five more minutes" at 1 AM, and the friend who always brings the good chair.

Skip it if your only view of the sky is an apartment window facing a parking garage, or you already own a reclining lawn chair you trust with your life.

The verdict: hand-picked for meteor nights and camp nights. Lean back, look up, stop checking your phone.
