Are you calling me fat? :D

I also have the Torpedo 7 helinox rip offs for mere mortals who accompany me on fly ins and hot tenting at the vehicle.
They are very good for their price but a lot heavier for walk ins
Have a couple of Big Agnes UL chairs, very robust. I’m 100 clicks and no signs of falling apart after 4 years. Would defiantly buy again.
Not quite the same as I remembered. Maybe not as light as you want.

I didn’t do a great deal of research when I bought my camp stool, the Te Aro, saw it at a H and F store picked it up and was amazed at how light it felt compared to others and thought that would do me. It comes in at 1kg which isn’t ultralight by any means but I like it so much that I thought it deserved a mention. Has durable looking material instead of mesh and was circa $100-$120 from memory.

What’s your one, @uk_exile?
We were very jealous when he pulled that out of the pack on the first evening, and it would have been the icing on the cake if he’d got the shot away on a pig he was lining up from it!
If you are looking at a Helinox, check them out at Bivouac. I'm not a big dude, but there was a noticeable difference in "aaahhhhh" between the Chair Zero, Highback and Chair One.
@mopheadrob I just checked an it's unbranded. Really comfy. Frame looks similar to these https://www.marine-deals.co.nz/campi...8aArz7EALw_wcB
but it's obviously not as it's weight including it's zip bag is 520gms.
Long term I think the alloy tubes plugging direct into larger centre beam tube has got to be stronger than the Helinox nylon joiners
+1 for the Helinox. I have the chair zero, and for the lack of weight it's amazing. Initially bought it for a fly in trip so that if I wanted to shift camp it wouldn't take me half a day lugging gear around. Sits very low to the ground though, getting up out of it for taller fellas might not be so easy. The one or one xl would be better in that regard.
This is a slightly different approach to the light weight chair. In this case a light weight 'stool'. Weight is about 650grams. Made of steel wire and fabric. Cost, second hand, was about $3.50. I've been using this one for a few years. It is comfortable for a few hours, as long as you don't mind sitting about 6 inches off the ground. Attachment 274656Attachment 274657
I've bought the chair Zero L.
Thanks to those of you who have given me some feedback.
Cheers, James
