Product Description
In GCI Outdoor terms, “pico” (pronounced pee-koe) means “small.” With the PICO Telescoping System, the PICO Arm Chair folds down to 1/16th of its size – about the size of a laptop case – which means it can easily be stuffed into a hatchback or trunk. Those who choose to carry the PICO Arm chair over the shoulder will enjoy the stylish, self-contained carry bag, padded shoulder strap pad and lightweight 9 lbs. After quick assembly, the carry bag doubles as the Chair Back Storage Caddy, with ample space for magazines, books, a sweater, a beverage, sunglasses and more. In addition to the Chair Back Storage Caddy, the PICO Arm Chair includes a mesh side storage pocket, a media pocket and a mesh side beverage holder. Lightweight yet sturdy powder-coated aluminum and steel support up to 250 lbs. Stay cool and comfortable with 600 denier polyester and breathable nylon mesh seat and seat back. Measures 17” x 22” x 34” when open and 20” x 3.75” x 12” when folded. Ideal for camping, RV’ing, fishing, and watching sports. Scratch-free nylon-coated feet also makes the PICO Arm Chair an affordable option for use indoors as extra, hide-away seating or dorm/apartment living.

Great chair!
By Douglas P. Tucker
I just bought 2 of these chairs for my class B camper (08 Pleasureway Ascent). They're the only chair I found that allows me to carry 2 in the limited storage space in my camper. These are also one of the most comfortable chairs I've found as well. Now that we have them I'm finding more uses for them. They're light weight and the carry case makes it convenient to carry the chairs as well as a book, laptop, and a cup of coffee along with you. It's great for urban hiking as well as around the state parks.

Good chair, with caveats
By Jeff in Davis
Bought two of these chairs for using on boats and on river trips. The former use is fine, the latter is a bust. The design is great, even clever, and the chair is comfortable and sturdy. Good for soccer games. I took two brand new chairs on a Grand Canyon river trip. They worked great the first day and then became almost impossible to use thereafter. The mechanism that guides the extension of the legs gets fine silt in it very easily. Once that happens, it is a herculean effort to set the chair up. And you practically have to jump on it to close it back up when this happens. The chairs were retired pretty quickly thereafter.The verdict: good for soccer moms, not so good for rugged outdoor use.

Great Sitting Comfort
By My Opinion
After reading the review that this chair received from the Wall Street Journal, I asked my wife to get it for me for my birthday. The chair arrived within a few days and it is everything that I expected.Chair set-up is a little more difficult than expected, but after three or four tries it is no longer a problem. The chair is very sturdy and comfortable. Plenty of seat room makes it a pleasure to sit in.I highly recommend this chair if you go to a lot of kids baseball and soccer games and other events such as concerts in the park like this grandpa does. It makes sitting through the game a pleasure. Unfortunately, the chair does not guarantee your team will win.Adendum: After owning this chair for several years, I still think it is a great product. However, I have had occasion to carry this chair on hiking and fishing trips and I have to admit it gets pretty heavey after a while. Nine pounds may not sound like a lot, but after a few miles you will notice the weight, especially if you are carrying other objects.
