Looking for a Double Folding Chess Board

Hi. I am looking for a double folding PVC or Cardboard chess board. I don't like roll up vinyl /silicon/mouse-pad mats and already have a wooden chess board that is too heavy to carry around. Can anyone suggest a US website where the same might be available as everywhere I have checked it is either out of stock or not available anymore. 

This is what I am looking for:

I'm not sure what you consider too heavy as that is a bit subjective.  But this seems reasonably transportable.

Not too many offer double fold chess boards. You can get one of those DGT Starter Boxes that have a double fold board. However the squares are only 50mm. I would suggest one of these puzzle boards.

The only down side to these. Is you need a flat surface in order to use it well. If you do get one of these boards. Get a cotton bag to put the board into for storage. This is so compact that I was able to put this board, tournament size chess set, and clock all into a lunch box.

Thanks. This looks like a really nice board and not that expensive too. 👍🏻

So finally I decided to go the DIY way a build myself a tri-fold chess board. Here are some pics of the final product.

It looks good but seems a bit shiny. Also seems like there are some air bubbles or just how the light is hitting the surface.

Yeah,  I'm with Knightstown on this. It looks great but my personal preference would've been a matte or satin style finish.

I understand but the surface isn't as shiny as it appears to be. But it would be matt in Version 2.0. 😀. There are no bubbles but some undulations due to the edges of the Duct Tape used for creating the hinges.
