With all its accessories and features, the Sport-Brella Recliner Chair is designed to let you enjoy your beach trip to the fullest and make every penny worth it. Aside from offering utmost comfort and convenience, it also provides much-needed protection from the sun.

Features

Reclining Position

The Sport Brella Recliner Chair has three reclining positions for ultimate outdoor relaxation. Now, many recliner chairs are difficult to adjust, but not this one. Thanks to the easy-to-adjust hinges, you would not have difficulties reclining this chair.

The extra-wide seat makes it even more comfortable to sit back and relax on this chair, regardless of what position you choose. With a weight capacity of 250 lbs., this beach chair is suitable for people of all sizes.

Detachable Footrest

Many beach chairs recline, but most of them do not come with a footrest. A unique feature of the Sport Brella Recliner Chair is its adjustable and detachable footrest.

You can easily stretch and relax your legs while using this chair. All you have to do is attach it and adjust it according to your preference. Once you no longer feel like using it, you can easily remove and keep it in the carry bag.

Built-in Insulated Pocket

This beach chair allows you to have a refreshing beverage by your side with its built-in insulated pocket and cup holder. You can even carry up to four drinks, thanks to the storage pocket. Thanks to the insulation, those drinks will stay chilled longer. Talk about the convenience of not having to get up each time you need a new drink, right?

The storage pocket has a zipper, ensuring that your drinks are safe and secure. This pocket also comes with a built-in bottle opener, perfect for those nightcaps with a few bottles of beer.

3-Swivel Umbrella

Another unique feature of the Sport Brella Recliner Chair is its three-swivel umbrella, which offers UPF 50+ protection that many beach umbrellas don’t provide. With full coverage, it lets you bask under the sun completely without having to expose your skin to possible harm and later discomfort.

Of course, this umbrella does not just protect your skin. It’s also helpful in protecting your eyes from the rays of the sun.

For your convenience, this umbrella was designed to fold down on the chair itself. This means that you can store it as a single unit. You don’t have to keep the umbrella elsewhere, which means it won’t be easily misplaced.

What we like

It comes with easy-to-adjust recliner hinges.

One of the most common issues encountered with reclining beach chairs is the difficulties in adjusting them. Many models are difficult to adjust or recline. It’s not uncommon to get a finger pinched in a hinge with some cheaper models or breaking the chair itself.

The Sport Brella Recliner Chair guarantees that that is no longer a problem. With its easy-to-adjust recliner hinges, you can quickly adjust the position of the chair. There is no need to worry about breaking the chair or hurting your fingers.

It has a footrest.

It is genuinely refreshing to sit by the beach for hours, watching the waves hit the shore and kids build sandcastles. However, it’s not that fun when your feet go numb and you get pins and needles.

The Sport Brella Recliner Chair was developed with that problem in mind. As such, it comes with an adjustable and removable footrest that you can use at your convenience.

It offers UPF 50+ protection.

With the depleting ozone layer, UV rays have increasingly become harmful to the skin and eyes. It is impossible to make the most out of your beach trip when you are worried about damaging your skin and eyesight.

If this is one of your concerns, the Sport Brella Recliner Chair is perfect for you. It has a dedicated umbrella with a three-way swivel and metallic undercoating, offering the ultimate sun protection. You can sit and wait for the sunset without worrying about the adverse effects of UV rays.

It has an insulated pocket.

Being able to have a drink right at your fingertips is one of the most important considerations when looking for a beach chair. It’s a huge bonus to have it refreshingly cold even after several hours of sitting by the beach.

With the insulated pocket and cup holder of this beach chair, you can always have your beverage with you without needing to leave your spot on the beach. Additionally, you can bring up to four more bottles or cans, thanks to the storage pocket. The built-in bottle opener makes the chair a complete package.

It is portable.

With all this beach chair’s features, you would think that it is a hassle to carry it and bring it anywhere. Well, you would be surprised to know that it actually folds easily, so packing it is not a problem at all.

It comes with a dedicated carry bag, too. How exactly is this bag helpful? 1) It allows you to pack and load the chair neatly in your baggage or car; 2) It makes the chair more convenient to carry wherever you go; and 3) It makes an excellent storage bag, so you do not have to worry about the chair itself collecting dust at home when you are not using it.

The bag is particularly handy considering the weight of this chair–due to its quality construction.

What we don’t like

It is quite heavy.

With all its features and accessories, the Sport-Brella Recliner Chair is relatively heavier than most portable beach chairs. It is about twice as heavy as typical beach chairs in the market today, so you might have a hard time carrying it.

Nonetheless, it was designed to be as lightweight as it can possibly be without compromising its durability. And the bag makes transport easier too.

If not properly maintained, it won’t last forever.

You know what they say, you cannot have it all. This beach chair has everything you are looking for in one and even more. However, if it is not maintained reasonably well, it will not last.

The thing about this chair is that it requires a little bit of extra care and patience for it to last long. It has a relatively complex configuration, so you might also find it hard to assemble or use it, especially for the first time. You need to be mindful of its many accessories and know which goes where to avoid breaking it.

Some people complain about their Sport-Brella Recliner Chairs breaking down after using it a couple of times. Some people complain about having difficulties figuring out how it works, that they end up unintentionally breaking it.
