Sport-Brella Chair {Review & Giveaway}

{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Belinda!}

During my recent Sport-Brella giveaway, did I manage to mention how great it is to have one? It is so light, portable, quick and easy to use and just plain convenient to be able to have such an expanse of shade whenever and wherever you need it.

However, maybe there are times that you don't need eight entire feet of beach umbrella, sun tent and weather shelter... maybe you just want a comfortable, relaxing spot in the shade to watch your next sporting event, parade or birds in the backyard. Well, in that case, the ultimate seat-that-feels-like-a-throne is the individual-size member of the Sport-Brella family, the Sport-Brella Chair.

The only umbrella chair that has its own full 360° of coverage, the Sport-Brella Chair allows you to face your seat in any position but still stay cool and protected from the sun and wind. No more squinting, sweating and sunburn, this chair does all of the work to keep you safe with its simple and convenient Sport-Brella attachment.

Right out of the box, this chair was light and easy to carry in its durable bag with the provided strap. Once we had reached our destination (a place for Mommy to sit and relax while the girls played outside) set-up for this chair took less than a minute.

An instant seat, the nylon and canvas sport chair itself popped right open on its steel frame and was ready to go. Then, connecting the ultra-aerodynamic umbrella was only a matter of sliding the hinge on the end into one of two of the connectors (one on each side) of the chair itself and opening it up.

Adjusting the umbrella was basically fool-proof, as there are two push-button hinges that allow you to swivel it backwards, forwards and tilt it to pretty much any angle. Whether the wind was blowing or the sun was shining down, I had no problem making sure that the chair had as much shade as I wanted due to the umbrella's 46" length.
With a UPF 50+ lining in the umbrella and a weight limit of 280 pounds, the Sport-Brella Chair is a relaxing, comfortable place for just about anyone to take a load off their feet and enjoy watching the game or the sights.

There is not only a handy cup holder but a zippered pocket right in the front to hold your keys or other small items. As it has a bottle opener zipper pull, you might just never have to get up once you're sitting in style in your Sport-Brella Chair.

Whether you are heading out to tailgate, fish, camp, read a book or watch the waves at the beach, the Sport-Brella Chair folds compactly, sets up almost immediately and keeps you or your family shaded and happy. Why sit outside without it?

Thanks to the generosity of SKLZ once again, one person will soon be staying cool in luxurious style, because...

One lucky person will win a Sport-Brella Chair of their own! ARV $39.99!

This looks like the perfect solution to days when I go to the beach and watch my husband surf! Sometimes I don't feel like doing the whole towel in the sand thing and this would be great sun cover as well!
