I'm looking for a camping chair that I can toss on the back of my bike. The long day rides (12-14 hours) definite takes a toll and when I take a break (or a nap) I'd rather not be sleeping on the bike. The smallest I've found so far is from REI
http://www.rei.com/product/765270/rei-camp-stowaway-chair


But it's still to long when folder (28") vs what I'm looking for (under 24")

I tried a Quick E Seat from LL Bean

but I couldn't get comfy enough on it

Any suggestions?

If you are really looking for a comfortable chair that will pack small and last for years, nothing beats a Kermit. I have friends that have spent far more than the price of a Kermit trying to convince themselves that they don't need a $130 chair. I think it's funny that most of them now own a Kermit, the cheaper chairs they tried are in the trash pile.

Alite Monarch Butterfly chair

I checked one out at REI and it was comfy.  Folds up to something like a mini-umbrella.  Seriously small and light.
