A dutch chap was using this whilst I was in France - and the feet don't sink into the ground like the Helinox
(said that, fair bit lower to the ground)

Looks good but too low for me. With a knackered back i need something much higher.

spent ages searching ebay last year mike- think there were about 200? 2000? ads for camp chairs found one-an american fold up job that had extendable legs. was pricey at over £100 i think but quality and something that would last a long time, fit on bike and enable you to sit at various heights. ill have another hunt for it and post it here if author of thread doesnt mind?

Edit: Sorry, didn't read the bit about legs sinking into the ground, may save a few quid for you though if used with a sidestand puck or three :)

That looks like the best I've seen so far and 725g is nice and light. Currently I'm thinking one of those thermarest seat convertors is the right option but this could sway me...

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
