I've used a buddy's chair zero a few times, while it is a game changer having a chair out there in general, I hated
how "mushy" that Chair Zero was. I feel like at any time I'm gonna fall over backwards in that thing.

They do offer a "highback" version of the chair zero, any thoughts?

Any other chairs that should be considered? I'm willing to carry a half pound more for slightly more stability/comfort.

The REI version is more stable than the Helinox but slightly heavier. I got used to the Helinox Zero pretty quick but almost everyone that sits in it for the first time at some point goes over or almost goes over. I also have a Sunset and a couple of Chair Ones. Those are fine.

Looks like REI has 4 or 5 different options in stock, I'm gonna go down there and compare side by side with that chair zero. Thanks for the thread link.

These are pretty sweet and they’re bomb-proof.

BA Skyline UL is quite a bit more comfortable than the Helinox IMO.
