Overview
Not a bare sling chair, the GCI SunShade adds an adjustable sun canopy, a head pillow and backpack straps. A mesh back lets air move, and a large rear pocket holds towels and sunscreen.
Beachgoers get shade, recline and hands-free carrying in one chair. The low seat suits sand but is harder to rise from than taller chairs.
Who it's for
Beach days, festivals and lakeside afternoons suit this chair. Those with knee trouble may prefer a higher seat.
Pros and cons
- Built-in UPF 50 canopy

- Canopy cannot be removed
- Low seat height

Performance notes
Comfort comes from the recline positions, mesh back and head pillow working together. Shade depends on how the canopy is angled to the sun, and the steel and aluminum frame carries the load.
