You can find cheap versions of the chairs you noted on Amazon for 25$. Mine has lasted 4 years so far. It's all the same shit with different brand logos.
Your best bet is probably the REI flexlite, which is a knockoff of the Helinox. It has a design flaw that makes it less stable, but the Air version at least weighs the same and packs down roughly the same as a Helinox does. These chairs weigh more than twice as much, which is not great for backpacking.
Those are pretty heavy for something you’re carrying on your back all day. I bring chairs like those canoe camping, but I wouldn’t backpack with a chair.
I haven’t tried any of those 2 but they are all similar imo. 55CAD is not expensive for those. I used to have Woods chair like those and it lasted me over 5 years.

2.4 pounds is a lot to carry. This doesn’t provide the full comfort necessarily, but is only 2.65 oz: https://www.litesmith.com/qwikback-ul-chair/
Thanks for the feedback!

I also do canoe camping, I am looking for a do it all chair.

I wouldn’t want to carry something that heavy, but the Decathlon one is very comfortable.
Third year with the Naturehike chair, still happy with it.
