Backpackers that are routinely covering upwards of 20 miles in a day are unlikely to find a backpacking chair worth the weight. The comfort it provides at the end of the day will not outweigh the extra pound or three on their backpack. Conversely, backpackers or bikepackers that spend a larger percentage of their day at camp, or even basecamp for several days at a time, will almost certainly find the creature comfort of a backpacking chair worthwhile. Like the best backpacking pillows, whether or not a backpacking chair is worth it depends on your perspective and needs.
