The GCI Backpack Beach Chair is useful for tournament sidelines where standard folding chairs are not always allowed. Many turf fields restrict narrow chair legs because they can damage the surface. This chair sits flat, which makes it easier to clear those rules and avoid getting turned away at the gate.
It's also very easy to carry. The backpack straps help when you are walking between fields with a cooler, bag, and kid gear already in tow. Once you are set up, the head pillow and built-in pockets give you a place for a drink, phone, and other sideline essentials. The low seat height is the main thing to consider. It is comfortable once you are down, but not as easy to get in and out of as a standard-height chair.
