A compact, lightweight folding stool

I need a compact, lightweight folding stool that I can use on grass and on astroturf / all-weather pitches. Currently I have a tripod stool, which is perfect in terms of compactness and portability, rather less so in terms of comfort. Still more comfortable than standing for 2 hours! Unfortunately, last week's boggy grass ate the plastic stoppers at the ends of the legs. Which is an opportunity to find a more comfortable stool. I am a tall size 18 and struggle to stand for 2h because of knee problems, so a very low stool won't do.

Can anyone recommend a suitable stool?

Yes telescopic folding tool £10 on Amazon is ideal , I’ve used mine all over and it’s very sturdy and can even be carried in a reasonable sized bag or back pack. I have very low blood pressure and POTS so even take mine to the supermarket incase I need to sit

Wouldn’t a person of generous proportions get a numb bum sitting on that small, hard seat for up to two hours?
