I just got back from a 8 day sheep hunt in Northern BC and looking for opinions on these 2 chairs. I'll state that I do have some lower back issues which is leading me to now want a chair with back support. On this last hunt I just took my regular old Thermarest Z pad cut down and tried leaning against my pack/rock etc but found that after an hour or 2 behind glass my lower back was taking a beating and it would really distract from my ability to glass effectively.

I think the Crazy Creek chair would meet my needs as I want something that goes directly on the ground but offers support. I've read all the forum responses I can and it seems that lots really like the chair. I'll also state that I have a Helinox chair but find it difficult to use on uneven or soft ground.

The biggest question I have for anyone that uses one is whether the long back version is worth the extra weight and pack size. I am 6'2" which they say should use the long back version however it is an extra 3.2oz and and additional 5.5inches longer to pack. I think I would prefer the smaller chair but thought I'd ask for advice.
