This is the lightweight compact travel footrest you've been looking for!
I've purchased several different types of small stools and footrests over the last several years. I've tried everything from collapsible to inflatable, but they were all either too heavy, too big or too awkward to travel with comfortably. They also were all too tall to be comfortable when seated in the super small and ultra-lightweight 2 pound Helinox chair I carry with me. This thing packs flat, takes up barely any space In my bag and doesn't weigh it down. It was several times more expensive than the other footrests I had purchased, but it is solidly made, durable and well worth the cost. This particular listing also came with the bumpy cover that helps keep your feet in place when your wearing shoes without traction and it provides cushion for bare feet. The soft carrying case is a nice addition, but I don't use it because the cover doesn't fit inside along with the footrest. For only $4 more than the listing without the bumpy cover, this one was definitely worth it. Separately, you'll have to pay an additional $20+ for the cover.
