I certainly hear that. Comfort is something that I can identify with and over the decades usually sought out. My ccf pad only goes so far. I have a Klymit seat pad that is a bit heavier but packs way down. It’s inflatable but next to zero insulation so not too good in winter. The heavier Thermarest lightweight seat pad is one of the most comfortable and does insulate too. But for now I’m happy with the section of Ridgerest pad.

Used the ccf pad earlier today at the top end of a lupine meadow while having some breakfast and tea. Had to change positions a couple times but man was the pack light, got the daypack down to a base weight of 1.6 lbs now with good weather protective rain gear and insulation along with the water bottles and food container and essentials like knife and lighter. Recently got a Spyderco Dragonfly and can no longer imagine taking heavier blades. It preformed some serious tests before being added to the kit.

However there is nothing so special as a super comfortable chair.
