Pros
Comfortable and spacious. It’s large and wide and fits a 300lb person comfortably. The chair is well padded and has a higher than average back. Although it is firm and doesn’t recline, if you prefer an upright camping chair, this one is quite comfortable.
The adjustable arm rests are a great feature, allowing anyone a custom fit. In our family, one of us is 6′2 and the other is 5′1 – having a chair with adjustable arm rests is a huge benefit.
The cooler has a plastic liner so leaks and messes are easy to clean. It holds 2-3 cans just as advertised and if you don’t want to use an ice pack, a couple of ziplock bags with ice works just fine.
Available in two colors – blue and gold.
The accessory pouch is a great addition – perfect for storing keys, books, sunglasses, bug spray, sunscreen and other must-haves.
With the accessory pouch and the cooler, this camping chair is very versatile – also perfect for sporting events like little league and hanging out at home.
Cons
Weight: At 10lbs, you would not want to take this chair on a backpacking trip or to the beach. Even for sporting events, if the walk is often far, consider a lighter chair.
Warranty: A 1 year warranty will only see you through one season. If something goes wrong after you store it for the winter, plan on having to purchase a new one.
Made in China: Although most of our consumer goods are made in China, for some this is a drawback and it’s good to keep in mind which countries and economies our spending dollars are supporting.
Price
Average prices run $30-$35. Likely to be less at end-of-season sales.
Summary
A comfortable, versatile chair with adjustable arm rests, a great accessory pouch and drink cooler. A bit too heavy at 10lbs for anything but car camping or around-the-house use.
