Quite a large chair, especially when assembled. Not suitable for a backpacker, but excellent for e.g. a car, boat or canoe. Quality made and durable product.
The sitting position is a bit strange and I would like freedom of movement for my hands. The biggest problem is piling up, because tensioning the fabric requires strength. You have to bend the metal pipes a little to get the fabric in place. Piling is hardly possible for children or for women.

Compared to the old basic Helinox, the advantages are a higher seat height, which pleases me more.
The wider mouth part is comfortable, for example, on a forest hunting trip when you have a knife, cartridge belt, etc.
Easy to assemble and disassemble.
As is always the case with these, the feet sink into the soft ground easily, but I solved it myself by putting tennis balls in the back of the feet and punching holes in them. Easy to remove and install if needed.

So far this chair has exceeded my expectations. Though originally my main concern was the accuracy of the weight limit, it does seem quite sturdy and has presented no problems on that front. Beyond that I'm very surprised by how comfortable is. Due to various health reasons I have a hard time finding chairs of any type that are comfortable for me, but this one feels quite comfortable indeed. And for my injured lower back specifically it somehow manages to feel better than any of my "normal" chairs at home, including my expensive "controller"-type office chair! Assembly and packing are of course quick and easy as well. All in all I'm really not sure what more I could possibly ask from a chair like this, so as long as it doesn't break in the long run I reckon it'll stay with me for a long time indeed.
