Review on ๐Ÿช‘ Rio Adventure Go Anywhere Chair: Your Ultimate Portable Seating Solution by Doug Hawkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Large, comfortable, warm and tall

If you spend a lot of time in stadiums, especially in cold weather, you should pay attention to this chair. It is an ingenious design as it is symmetrical and the arms fold in or out. There's a lot of insulation, and it holds heat, so good insulation from cold, hard concrete. The armrests are nice, the backrest adjusts easily to different angles, and has good padding: not too hard or too soft. In fact, it is very comfortable to sit on. In addition, the coating is hard-wearing and appears to be easy to clean. Now for the things you need to be aware of. This thing is big and doesn't fold down like a normal stadium seat. To wear it you have to open it and it's big. This is a large oven that you carry with you. However, it has shoulder straps that make it easy to carry. It takes up more space in your car. One thing to note is the zipper they use to close the outer skin (I guess they added it so you can wash it). The lightning sensor may not be strong enough to handle the load. The zipper path follows the really sharp corners on the sides and sleeves. They used a really fancy design to make it fit. On my example, the zipper ran the full length of one of the sleeves. Unfortunately, the ends of the zipper are not the same as on pants or jackets. There is no leading edge pin at the end to re-engage the zipper teeth with the slider (my example was also missing the slider tabs on both sliders, but I suspect this was a mistake not common to others). The zipper tape is simply cut off at both ends. I had to open the metal bail they used as an alternate zip stopper to try and snap the slider back onto the zip teeth, but once I got it to work it had major problems with a sharp twist around the chair's armrests and one day flexing I turned a corner, the zipper was unbuttoned again. I've tried several times and it just won't stay together. I believe that a much larger zipper is needed. I suspect that the problems I had will happen to others. I got mine from Vine so I need to find a way to seal it but if I had bought it I would have sent it back defective. While you can handle the bulky size and know there might be some issues with the zipper, I really recommend this stadium chair, especially if you're going to be exposed to cooler temperatures.
