This is a great idea, but there is one weakness that prevents it from being a 5 star. The clamp used to secure it to the chair is a little weak. When the shade is adjusted, the clamp is stressed and loosens up. this causes it to slip down the chair. If there were a positive clamp (like a screw tightening) it would keep it in place and make it perfect. That said, it will provide shade as the fabric is good for SPF50. Folds up easily enough, but I can see this coming off during repeated adjustment or a good wind.
Bought two of these to go with my pair of Pod Rocker chairs, and although it SAYS it "Pairs well with", it does NOT. I cant figure out how to clip it on the chair and have it stay at a height appropriate when someone is sitting in it, and not slide down. The clip is barely big enough to go over the fabric of the chair but still feels like the clips will just snap off with any attempt to adjust the shade. I might try adding grip tape to the clip teeth to see if it will help stay, or I might just return. I'm not sure if it is worth the hassle to try and make it work.

The shade is great and works how it should. It’s easy to set up. When I was ordering my chair, this green shade was recommended, and I thought it was because the colors were similar. They’re not. The shade doesn’t match well with my chair, but it’s fine I will still use it..

This shade is a common sense concept with a nonsensical flaw. I tried to use this with the REI Camp Boss chair. It will clamp onto the chair momentarily, but then it slides down and there is no way to tighten it, making it useless. Why the clamps don't twist or tighten makes no sense. It would seem like an easy solution to turn this product into something useful.
Obsessed. This is the best thing since sliced bread. The pattern is ugly but I don’t even care. It fits on every chair! The loungers by the pool, my rocker chair and my everywhere chair. The side hinges are impossible to open or close with sunscreen on your hands. So set this up before!
This sunshade is everything. I love not having to carry a separate umbrella for shade when going out. It's super easy to clip on and provides great shade. I use it in the yard, at the beach, at my kids sports games... love it and highly recommend.
The GCI Sunshade Accessory works pretty good with the folding camo chairs I have, providing Sun protection when sitting in the open at outdoor events and the design sheds wind and breezes very well.
Was not planning on the sun being out but mother nature had other ideas. I attached the shade cover and saved me. Grateful that I purchased the attachment. Game changer as a fan.
Great shade that easily clips onto the chairs! My only wish is that they still made the chair where a shade was attached. But this is easy to use and a nice addition.
Love this sun shade! We have a tent and umbrellas but it’s so much easier to pop this on our chairs. It also adjusts if you’re reading
