A compact camping chair with a collapsible aluminium frame — 2 lb, with a storage bag.

Two pounds is the number that matters. This is a chair you carry without thinking about it: it goes in a pannier, a daypack or the gap beside a drawer, and it is there when you want to sit down somewhere there is nothing to sit on.

If you are furnishing a base camp, the wooden Kick It chair is more comfortable. If you are counting weight and space, this one wins easily.
