Comments about GCI Outdoor Xpress Lounger Chair:
If you need a stable and sturdy chair this is the one. With a broken leg and non-weight bearing, I thought all my outdoor time was over for the summer. But the stable configuration and sturdy metal arms make this chair safe and easy to get in and out of and it's comfortable for hours of sitting and with a broken leg, sitting is about all I'm doing these days. With the convenient handle, I can carry it from house to patio, but I went out and bought another one so I don't have to! And I love the mesh seat for shedding rain; the seat was dry as soon as the sun came out again. This is a great chair for anyone but particularly for those who might have trouble using other chair styles.

Comments about GCI Outdoor Xpress Lounger Chair:
Two things make this chair worth considering: folded size and comfort/stability. Provides good support and great ventilation. Dries quickly due to the mesh fabric. It folds down smaller than almost any other chair. It is too heavy for backpacking or taking in a long ways from the car, but that is the only "con" in an otherwise well designed product. Tried one out on a weekend party, and now we are going back to buy a second one so we don't have to fight over who gets the comfortable chair. Forget those sling chairs, unless you like seeing your chiropractor more often. This one will keep you comfortable all day long.

Comments about GCI Outdoor Xpress Lounger Chair:
This chair was pretty uncomfortable. Your butt has to hand off the back of the seat to be able to actually lean against the back rest. I'm 6'4" and my wife is 5'9" (both lean by American standards) but neither of us could get comfortable in these. They are going back to the store. We had the Pico chairs, which seemed better, but those started flaking paint within a few months of use and were returned. So far, we're not impressed with GCI.

Comments about GCI Outdoor Xpress Lounger Chair:
A reformed minimalist I now roll heavy in a solo canoe. It took 2 sales people and me to figure it out the 1st time but now I find the design genius. Had the GCI 3 legged high stool which was VERY uncomfortable so swapped it for this after trying all less expensive chairs, none compete for comfort. Mesh dries in seconds. It lays flat on the bottom of the canoe with gear bags on top. Convenient pockets. Did I mention its COMFORTABLE!

Comments about GCI Outdoor Xpress Lounger Chair:
This chair is very solidly built. I don't expect to ever need to use the manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
However, it's extremely heavy. The description puts it at 9 pounds but it feels much heavier. For a moment I even considered drilling some lightening holes in the chair's frame.
It's fairly compact and should fit on an adventure-touring motorcycle.
The tubular arm rests don't have any cushions and are not very comfortable.
I wouldn't recommend this chair to a friend mainly because of its weight.

Comments about GCI Outdoor Xpress Lounger Chair:
Chairs seem to be well built and easy to setup. Nice to sit on but if you plan to lean back at all, then look for another chair. Uncomfortable back rest which is a design flaw that could be fixed. I will be returning.
