Alite Monarch Chair

I recommend getting to a store and trying whatever chair you are considering or even better borrowing one from a friend and trying it out on trail for a few days. That being said I find this to be a very comfortable chair and use it regularly. I don't consider using this chair as core exercise even though muscles are engaged as with sitting upright in most chairs. Being able to make small adjustments in angle and easily rock makes this quite comfortable and stretching out your legs is easy to do as well. It's good on uneven ground and slopes where the 4-legged chairs can be wobbly.
The Helinox Ground Chair has some good points such as being comfortable, more stable, and higher off of the ground. I've sat in one but haven't carried one. It's is about twice the price and only about 2 ounces heavier than the Monarch. That's not really significant if you're making the choice to carry an extra pound or so worth of chair on trail in the first place.
Bottom line is try before you buy if possible. If I'm going out for more than 2 days or so I'm inclined to leave the chair at home in favor of something extra tasty to eat or drink.
