Step into Summer – Sport-Brella Chair Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Blog· Giveaways· Review

About Sport-Brella:

The Sport-Brella products designed by SKLZ are the most innovative and complete sun protection options available. Engineered specifically for all-season from the sun, wind and rain, the assortment is made durable yet lightweight for easy transportation to the beach, field, campground and more.

Use the Sport-Brella as a beach umbrella, sun tent or all-weather protection at the beach, park, sidelines or while camping with the family.

The Sport-Brella XL has the same features and construction as the Sport-Brella, but at 9′ wide has one additional foot of protection.

The revolutionary Sport-Brella Chair is the only portable chair that gives you complete 360? protection from the sun.

The Sport-Bench is the perfect portable team bench that sets up in seconds, and when paired with a Sport-Brella offers a complete shelter to stay cool, stay dry, stay protected and stay rested.

We practically live outdoors in the summer time. The summer heat and sun can get hot pretty quick and sometimes there’s not much that you can do about it.
The Sport-Brella Chair is perfect to take along with you on those hot summer days because there’s a little umbrella that is attached to it. You can move it around however you want to keep that hot sun out of your face and give you some shade.

Now this chair is definitely great for us to have. We are already fighting over it, so I think we’re going to have to get another one! It’s perfect for anywhere we go where we’ll need a chair, even in our backyard.

It’s going to be wonderful to take camping because it’s got a pocket underneath the seat to hold whatever I need to have handy, like my flashlight and camera. It has the necessary cup holder and even a bottle opener which makes it perfect for tailgating. The umbrella can go into just about any position you want. If it’s getting dark and you no longer need it, then simply fold it back up and drop it down. It sits nicely right next to the chair.

Big Bro thinks he’s taking over my chair when we go camping. As you can see he’s already practiced getting all comfy in it. He thinks he’s going to sleep in it. I say he better think again, that’s my chair!

Buy It!

You can buy the Sport-Brella Chair for $39.99.

One lucky duck will win a Sport-Brella Chair of their very own!

These shoes are so lightweight and soft. I almost doesn’t even feel like I’m wearing shoes. They go with almost any outfit and make walking for long periods so much less of a chore than my flip flops.

Step into Summer – RCA PCHSTAT1R Travel charger with surge protection Review

Blog· Review

RCA offers a wide variety of products for many of your electronic needs. I was surprised to find a few products I never even knew they carried as I was browsing through the site.

“RCA’s travel charging station with surge protection keeps your portable devices powered and safe. The USB charging ports accommodate a wide variety of power interfaces like for a cell phone, small digital camera, iPod or smartphone. Use the extra power outlets for other electronics that you might have when traveling. And the surge protector is a great safeguard for your expensive electronics.”

I recently had the chance to review the PCHSTAT1R Travel charger with surge protection to review. I just knew it would totally come in handy when we’re out and about. It plugs into one outlet and gives you three plugs to work with. There are also two USB ports and a cradle to hold something like a cell phone.

The PCHSTAT1R Travel charger with surge protection has definitely come in handy around here. I can keep all of the plugs for our phones in the same spot and put them in the cradle to charge so i don’t have to worry about anything happening to them.

It’s going to com in even more handy when we go camping or on vacation. See, we have to use truck stop showers where we camp as there is no running water. While we are able to rent a whole bathroom, there are still only two plugs and it’s right by the sink. That’s not exactly the best place to set your electronics. Now we’ll be able to just set them right in the cradle. There’s a piece in the cradle that comes out to make it bigger so even the kids’ Nintendo DSi will fit nicely in it!
