Ultralight chair to throw in your pack?

I carry a Big Agnes Skyline UL. Had the Helinox but didn't care for it being so low to the ground so I switched to the Skyline and couldn't be happier. 2 of my hunting partners sat in it and now carry one as well. We all agree it is weight well worth carrying if you are going to sit for any amount of time. Comfortable enough that I sometimes wake myself up snoring while sitting in it.
 
Another Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 guy here… great for my bad back, great for glassing, functions just as a pad when needed, folds out flat under my sleeping pad when needed, rolls up as a rear rifle rest too. I don’t hunt without it!
 
I have both the Helinox and BA chairs...the BA weighs a little more but higher legs and more comfortable...if you just need to get ass off wet ground and don't have back issues, the Helinox isn't bad....I probably will stick with the BA chair for awhile
 
Found it.

Heavier than the Helinox but its rock solid and bigger like a real chair
I bought the Marchway for two of my boys. Definitely not a backpacking chair but they bring them to camp and sit comfortably. One of them suckers is about 280 lbs and chair holds up. Real quick to deploy, not that the others are that bad but quicker is quicker.

I just ordered a Helinox Chair One, wasn't on my radar but Amazon had the green dropped to $55 so I grabbed it. It's rated for 320 lbs whereas the Chair Zero is 260 I think. It's 2+ lbs though so again probably not a backpacking chair.
 
I have the longer style of Crazy Creek, which is bulkier when packed, and seems mostly pointless, until you use it as a low-r-value pad or secondary pad.
 
Another vote for a crazy creek. I use the hex which is pretty light. Also makes afternoon naps very pleasant and also works great when you have to kneel in the snow or mud. I have a nemo moonlite that is damn comfy but it is not worth the space backpack hunting IMO, great for glassing trips though!
