Go with "The Kermit"...once in a lifetime purchase, well worth the price. Well, made, easy assembly/disassembly and folds up in a small package.

+ 1 on the Kermit.
I know they're expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Think of it as an investment, it is.

A VERY comfortable investment, I might add.

The PICO works for me comfy chair and price.

I bought the Pico chair for a recent camping trip. It is comfy and it packs down small. But the way I loaded my bike it pushed the roll bag forward by about three inches. That combined with one of the legs not locking out means its going back to the store.

I may go after the Kermit chair as it packs into a roll instead of a rectangle.

Kermit.
Packs small.
I got the leg extensions- nice addition.
FYI- I am 6'4, @300#. PICO won't go that big...

The PICO can be packed for hauling on the LT rack (we pack 2 on there) for those that like them.

I got the Alite Monarch Butterfly chair, Two legs but it is super lite and packs small enough it is always in my side case with my jetboil if I decide I want to stop for cup of coffee in middle of no where. I actually bought two of them, so My wife could have some where to set. $67 from REI.

Kermit chair for sale!

I have a gorgeous, blue Kermit chair, complete with leg extensions and cup holder that I'll sell if anyone's interested. PM me and we'll work out the details. I've used it maybe 3 times, although honestly, I can only remember one occasion.

Several years ago, I got roped into setting up a group buy for these chairs on this very forum. So many people ordered them, the owner of the company sent me this one for free.

Hey, how about these?

They pack down to 5" x 17.5" which I think would fit in an RT saddlebag.
They weigh 2 lbs. and holds up to 250 lbs.

You did a good job with that Joe, Thanks, I got two Kermits in that group buy then.

Anyway,
I have lately been using a chair a friend of mine made up. He took a cheep bag chair, then took it apart & shortened up the legs a few inches. It now is a lot easer to pack on the bike, & if I ever brake it. I can put it in the trash & not be out much.

I use a tripod stool, no back but I have to say I really don't miss it, folds up very small and its light, they sell for between $10 and $90 dependent on brand. We do a lot of camping on the bike so size is always an issue.
