Doesn't pack up too small, but the posture is nice and seems pretty well made.

I'd have to say that after trying many, many chairs I have found, without a doubt, that my favorite is which ever one I'm sitting in at camp. For comparison, a cold, wet rock would be better than the best office chair I've ever had. Cheers!

Helinox Sunset Chair

 

Super light weight.

Stows under dinette seat;  or inside the kayak.

Stuff a jacket in the stow bag and it becomes a headrest, pictured here.

 

Most importantly, very comfortable!

 

Even better customer service from Big Agnes, Helinox NA distributor.  If you happen to be fixing an adult beverage, and a gust of wind blows the chair into the camp fire melting the cover, one might just be able to pick up a gently used cover from BA at a deep discount.

Which ever you choose....it must not only be sturdy on FLAT ground but be able to be sat in when on uneven, gravelly or plain dirt ground. If it is not made STRONG enough, the rivets and the metal itself will not last very long. For us 200+ pound guys, a poorly made chair won't last the season if you aren't on something like concrete or asphalt....and since most of us rarely camp there....I think a part of any chair review should include (as some have) a  report on how it performed when sitting down and getting up on a rough surface.

 

I've tried plenty when camping with a dozen or so guys....the director chairs seem sturdiest by not the most comfortable. Other chairs got points for drink tables. Some had you sitting too LOW making it hard to get up for old knees like mine. Some had pads and some did not. Some had canvas and some had plastic seats/seat backs. Some folded up SMALL and some did not and were unwieldy to carry/stow when on the road. Some were recliners (a topic for another post I think) and some were just so wobbly on entry and exit that it was not safe after your initial Adult Beverage Respite at night around the campfire. 

 

I like the posts so far....lots of good suggestions!

I thought this was a gimmick when my wife bought one, until I sat in it. It is amazing, allowing for both upright sitting and reclining into a "stargazing" posture. Extremely comfortable, and it folds up to a packable size. Minor assembly req'd, and yes, it's pricey, but is worth it, imo!
