This chair is surprisingly sturdy and comfortable. It's wide, and doesn't press into my legs when I'm seated, which is really nice for us curvy women (size 14). The fabric is sewn well, with strong seams. For a larger Helinox, it's still easy to carry through the day, and it's really nice to have a supportive chair to rest in for a while. The seat is wide enough to tuck my legs under me, getting my feet off the ground, which is good if you're worried about any creepy crawlers that might roam past while you're sitting out in the brush. The mesh back lets my shirt stay dry, but does get a little cool in the evening and early morning.I love how easy it is to set up the frame; I just give it a gentle shake, and it almost completely clicks into place for me. The fabric seat does need to be stretched a little to get the last corner placed onto the frame, which might be tricky if you have arthritis. Keep in mind that the frame should last longest when one's weight is balanced properly over it, so I do have to be careful about finding the most level patch of ground out there, which is not always easy. I also bought the rocking feet attachments, but I tend to leave those at home, since they're kind of awkward to carry after a while.It is an expensive camping chair, but I do like how light it is. If you're short and plus-size like me, this might be the right chair for you. I also have a Helinox Swivel chair, and while I love the smaller size/lighter weight of it, I'm always a little self-conscious about how I look sitting in it, and usually decide to travel with the Helinox XL.
