All of that type that I've hefted feel like steel, and all feel very heavy for their size. Some points on the frames take a terrific load due to the leverage inherent in the design.
That said, I really like mine for camping. My chair is about as comfortable to me as my recliner at home. I have fallen asleep in it. I hang mine on a bike rack on the back of my Elantra, with my bike over it -- the chair obscures the view of my rear license plate, police haven't caught me at it yet.
I would like a much lighter one but have no hopes of finding it.
