Working on planning for some overnight camp somewhere trips on the bike. One thing I know I need is a good chair that pack down easy, and is still usable and comfortable and not $200. Suggestions.....

Tusk Motorcycle Camping Chair Review - ADV Pulse
When it comes to motorcycle camping, it is all too easy to overpack and bring more gear than you really need. It tends to be a constant learning experience to figure what is essential and what can be left behind. One item that may not be essential, but can make the camping experience much more […]

I have a similar chair I got from REI years ago. It's not bad at all for how small and light it is.
Small and light is much less important than comfortable I carried a full size comfortable chair over 40,000 miles on my 950 KTM , my tent , poles and stakes fit in the chair bag and it was the same length as my side boxes were wide , they were one inch wider than the bars . First thing off the bike when I stopped and last thing on in the morning . I was comfortable wherever I went . Priorities .

Comfort is subjective.
Big boy will need a different chair than a lean, mean, riding machine.

True. A low back chair is not the choice for me although it will pack easier.
What Cagiva said. I had the Walmart version of that Tusk chair, which also seems to be sold by a lot of other manufacturers for various prices. I went to an FJR meet and the whole time I kept sliding down in the chair and it was not comfortable at all and was just annoying. I quietly left it there for someone else to take and be plagued with. Still searching for a suitable replacement.
The Tusk chair search on the jungle site also showed this chair that has my attention.

Those MC camping chairs aren’t big guy friendly, I always pulled one of my Jessie’s off an sit on it.
If you can’t take a nap in it what’s the use .

little comforts like this really matter, especially on longer camps. if you can't sleep or relax well in camp, that'll catch up to you quickly during the rides. If you can, go to an REI and give these 'lil chairs a test.
That's what the hammock is for. Had the added benefit of being smaller and lighter than any chair, too!

Tons of options on amazon. Typically knock offs of far more expensive brands
The orange chair is my 40,000 mile chair , bought it over 20 years ago and it died this year . Sure wish I could find a replacement
5 bucks at wallmart , but that was before the chinese invasion , nothing has come close since in comfort or quality .

Good news for all stock holders and bankers. I decided on this one. It has already arrived and for me I think it will work best. It is light and has more back support than just a bucket style. Folding the legs up was a bit cantankerous but it will be fine. I can easily pack it along on other adventures.

Nice choice. In fact, it was my first choice, but the stowed size was too large for my 18L Kriega bags, so I got one of these
So far, so good. FWIW, I tend to the industrial scale, but this chair is still quite comfortable.
