That is similar to the REI chair I mentioned, as compact but less money.  However, you may discover a compact chair requires you to be more agile and supple than you are to get in and out of it easily and repeatedly.  I still recommend the larger camp chairs you see everywhere.  The compactness of a chair like this is crucial when bicycle touring, but in a Westy not so much. I've used both chairs and I recommend a big one if you have the space to pack it.
