I have a couple of trips over the next two years where a bean bag platform would be quite helpful. Both trips are heavily focused on wildlife, with some scenic photography. One is through the Canadian Rockies (The Kootenays) in a rental car while the other is a safari in Tanzania. I would be shooting with a Canon 7D MarkII, Sigma 120-300 2.8 and at times with a 1.4x or 2x TC.
I was looking at the following bean bags:

To be honest, I know very little about photography bean bags, so I could use a little input from people who have used them. As I understand it, I am looking for:
1. Something very light and small when empty so it is easy to pack
2. Won't scratch car surfaces
3. Water resistent
4. Strong design (materials, zipper)
5. Handles for easy carrying when full
6. Actually works when full (stable, easy to use)
Is there any other factors I should consider?
Any particular bean bags you would strongly recommend? I am focused on usability, portability (empty) and quality of product. Given the general price of these items, price is not a main consideration, but I don't feel compelled to go wild (so no gold stitching or diamond inlays!).
Thanks!
