I have a backpacking chair that I got from some no-name brand on Amazon for $30, which works fine, but is bulkier and weighs 2-2.5 lbs. I got a great deal on the Helinox chair a year ago and decided that saving the 0.5-1.0 lbs was worth the money for me. Some backpackers don't even carry a chair, but I find that I sit in it a lot when I do a trip.

As a backpacker I second this anchoring pretty sweet after a 12+ mile day with significant elevation gains.
This is a high back chair which I've never used but looks comfy as heck.
Right now though REI has the Helinox chair zero in white for $112 and about .5 lbs less weighing in at just about 1lbs total packed down to the size of a Nalgene bottle
A little Smaller. A little lighter and a little cheaper.
Keep on keeping on!
That weighs 1lbs 4+oz. And you are still on the ground. In the back country there is a lot to be said about having some clearance between you and the ground. I crazy creak chair looks about the same circumference as a helinox zero. But also longer so from the looks it takes up space in / on the pack. Though more expensive I'd still vote for the helinox. More expensive but lighter and as far as I can tell actually more compact. Those are very good benefits for backpacking.
Edit: nevermind, this is the high back version

You are not the market for this then.
Hey bud. That is a good deal for a back yard char but not even the same plant as far as the other options being discussed here.
The tip was good just pointing out some considerations for folks looking at this for what it's. In the back woods. There is a good reason to be off the ground. Ticks and general comfort. Now your recommendation is great for areas that may not need those protections or like say a park or beach setting. Of course cost is an absolute consideration as well.
