I bought a pair of these, to take to Rennsport last fall. Big enough for me (6-2, 200 lbs), and surprisingly sturdy and comfy. Not too bad to put together and take apart. When in the bag, they will fit anywhere in a 991.

I second this type of chair - I use a smaller version when I go motorcycle camping and one of my buddies has one very similar to bkrantz. While mine is comfortable and can handle the weight, this one is much nicer.

When I was touring on my motorcycle I always carried one. When my wife and I went to rallies and towed our Unigo trailer we took two. My suggestion to anyone of age that is thinking of buying one, get the leg extensions.

If going with the Helinox chair, go with the one that swivels. We use these out hunting and they are very light and fit in a pack easy.

Also, if going with either of these chairs, I suggest adding this as well if it will be set up on any soft ground/sand as it keeps the feet from poking in.
