One thing I have noticed with the high back is the width of the seat is slightly smaller. If the width was the same size I would have picked the high back
They really are very comfortable....for mine its the smaller one (as I can push my excuse for it only being small and light only goes so far), and I think its well worth the weight on any length trip. In fact, If I am going out for a week or more then I am definitely carrying it as my pack weights that much more and the comfort will be even more sublime!!!
I totally agree with you. I bought the high back and the chair zero and return to High back immediately. It was horrible. It’s just not comfortable. I thought it would be really nice too lay back and relax, but it puts you straight up and you almost feel like you’re falling off of it.
