    Not sure, but one that will also accomodate ya pipe and slippers
    (FWIW, I find the tripods to be good enough. Light, small, and take the weight off feeble knees. If I need more comfort, I just get drunk, and fall over).

    Buy cheap ($10) chairs when you get to your destination and leave them in the bin when you leave. Saves carrying it around and the cheapies aren't really worth keeping anyway
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    they're like blow up dolls. cold and strange at first, but you get used to them, and they can go down on you in a flash.

    We have the Kathmandu inflatables, bloody brilliant and thus far have not gone down on us .... only time I will say that!!!

    Down side, when you turn up to destination totally knackered you have to blow them up UNLESS you have a high vol pump of some descripts.

    The 3 legged ones are good if you want to keep it small & light. Plus they are actually cheaper from KTM than most other places Ours have done 1000's of km's of touring now.

    No pipe & slipper holders, but I bet Touratech could sort you out with something there ;-)

    Cheers

    Multi-purpose

    You can get fabric 'frames' for thermarest mattresses. Fold up the mattress, stick in the fabric and it works as a chair. Multi-purpose and less crap to carry.

    Mind you, sitting is the last thing I want to do....
    Laying down is more like it, when I get off the bike after a long day....
