With the weather warming up, it’s time to start thinking about outdoor activities. But too much sun can be a problem, so I got this Super-Brella Chair for sitting in the shade when at events like camping, tailgating, cookouts, and picnics.
The main feature of this chair is its umbrella, which acts as a sunscreen as well as rain umbrella. In fact, the umbrella is quite versatile in how it can be configured.
Overall, there are several features I like about this chair:
- The chair is light and easy to carry, since its carry-bag has a convenient shoulder strap.
- The chair is trivial to set up.
- The umbrella is adjusted with two push-buttons, and folds up out of the way when not needed.
- The umbrella is easy to position, and even can be clipped onto either side of the chair, allowing for sun protection from almost any angle.
- The chair is comfortable and comes with a drink holder.
- The chair seems of good quality, especially for its price.
However, there are a few considerations that might restrict who can comfortably use the chair and how the chair can best be used:
- The umbrella on the chair does not appear as if it was designed to also be a windscreen, so I would not use the umbrella in windy conditions.
- At 5′ 10″ and athletic build, the chair was comfortable for me, and at 5′ 2″, the chair was very comfortable for my wife. However, for those who are very tall or > 200 pounds, the chair may not be as comfortable. Also, note that the chair is rated up to 250 pounds.
- The drink holder fits cans and small bottles just fine, but note that the diameter of the drink holder opening is 3″.
In summary, for people not overly tall or heavy, the Super-Brella Chair is an inexpensive and portable chair for enjoying outdoor events, and especially for sitting in the shade.
In fact, when I showed my wife my new chair, after she sat in it she said, “Where’s yours?”
