I used the REI copy of this chair on a bicycle trip. All true descriptors but we use larger camp chairs for Westy travel that are much better for lounging. Lots of these out there and fit varies so you probably want to try them out to make sure you like a given chair. Some hold the back too upright or hold your arms up too high for comfort. You might think they're all the same but they're not.
