What this is about
So this Mountain Summit Gear Feather-Lite Table is currently the lightest in the list of ultra-lightweight backpacking tables here in the site. This is a collapsible type, you have essentially only two pieces, the frame and the tabletop. So I have included it in my list of collapsible camping tables.
The frame shown above folds and becomes very thin. As you see, it has the attachment elements on the top, so this is where you add its folding accordion-type tabletop. The picture below shows how you clip it into the place:
Materials
The frame is an ultralight but sturdy anodized aluminum. They claim that it is very durable and weather-resistant. There is no information about the type of aluminum.
The tabletop is aluminum wrapped in polyester. This is very similar to Helinox Table One Hard Top and Big Agnes Woodchuck Camp Table but this table is far more affordable.
So it folds like an accordion, and it is not heat-resistant. You can surely put your camping stoves on it. There is no weight limit but this is good enough for plates and you can use it as a side table in the camp.
The attachment elements and the feet are probably some nylon, there is no info about this.
Who is it for
Weight-wise, the words Feather-Lite in the name indicate what this is about. So with its 1 lb 9.6 oz (726 g) of weight, this is indeed an incredibly light camping table and you can carry it in the pack.
The packed size is 22 x 2 x 2 inches (56 x 5 x 5 cm), and this is not the shortest option on the market, but see how thin this tube is, so my rating for its packed size is maximum.
It is longer than the Helinox Table One Hard Top but it is much thinner and it is also lighter.
Regarding the dimensions, the table is 16 inches (41 cm) high, so this is quite typical for such a type. It is a bit higher than the Helinox Table One.
Price-wise, this is a very affordable item. As of the moment of writing this text you can find it at REI at a discount price, but this changes all the time so follow the link below and check.

( votes)Final thoughts
In the summary of this Mountain Summit Gear Feather-Lite Table review, I wish to stress again its incredible weight and price. My rating for the packed size is also excellent but it is a bit long when packed. Fully recommended.
Please check under the category Camping Tables if you want to see more options. There are many of them here and in all sizes and shapes. See for example this REI Co-op Outward Side Table that is folding and easy to use. Yet another table with a solid tabletop and unique design is this Nemo Moonlander Dual Height Table.
Thank you for reading. Note that we add texts here regularly, so stay informed and bookmark this site. Have a nice day.
I bought one of these from REI and I am not satisfied. The problem is that I cannot get all four support points for the table top to snap into the support clips and stay snapped in at once. One of them always pops out. I would not recommend this table.
Hi Ronald, I wonder if you have tried to get in touch with them. There must be some explanation, this is a very simple mechanism. In any case, thank you for your comment.
