Helinox Chair One

A proper back-supporting chair that packs into a 35 x 10 x 12 cm bag, so it rides inside a backpack instead of banging against your legs on the walk in. At roughly 960 g with a 145 kg load limit, it beats bulky folding chairs on both weight and comfort, and it is the kind of gear you keep for years rather than abandon on Monday morning. The weakness matters at a festival: its small feet sink into soft, muddy ground. Set it on a flat patch, a spare bag or a mat in wet weather. It also sits low, which some people find hard to get out of after a long day on their feet.
