When we tell friends and family that our job is an interesting one, I’m not sure they really get what all it entails. Which is totally fine, we know it’s multifaceted. Last week was one of those days that made it oh so fun, because an awesome brand showed up at our house to show us something that is coming soon, but hasn’t been released on the market yet. It’s so smart, we want to share it here. Because these chairs are about to be a total game changer, our kids are obsessed, and we think you should be the first to know.
Ecto Chairs are the next generation of camping chairs with so many fun options, we’re not even sure where to get started. Our family was thrilled to try some out for the afternoon, and share what we thought of the product.
These chairs are so very amazing, because they optimize cooling or heating around the human prime zone.
What that means, is with these chairs and their awesome technology, no more back sweat at the kids’ never ending softball game. No more feeling miserably cold when camping. From hot summer days at family reunions, to fall activities with the family, the brilliant people at Ecto Lifestyle really have you covered.
How it works: {from their site}
Ecto has reinvented comfort through dual heating and cooling technology. It also works off of a e5V lithium battery which is compact, and stays out of the way.
Their chair connects to a cooler during the hot days, using ice cold water to circulate through 36′ of high tech thermal tubing to cool anyone who just wants to sit. It’s like air conditioning anywhere to help you regulate your body temp. And right now in back sweat season, this is kind of amazing.
On the heating side, {a heating pad-obsessed weirdo myself, so I can’t wait to try it in the colder months} it uses ultra efficient carbon fiber elements which provides hours of comfortable heating at temperatures of up to 130F to keep you warm. Ever sat around a campfire at night and realized that only the frontside stayed warm while you wrapped yourself in blankets and you were still cold? This envelopes you in comfort.
What I love: Their chairs are oh so attractive! Bonus points for their streamlined look with effortless design, that aren’t difficult to tote around. It was so cool to sit down on a BLISTERING summer day, and the chair never warmed up underneath me. It was air conditioning for your entire body, outdoors.
And they come in lots of different style options!
This is the Ecto Camp Chair, which folds up easily when not in use. {We love the cup holder, too!}
Don’t want the entire chair but love the technology to go over your own old faithful? This is their Universal Ecto Cover Fit. Just as the title implies, it fits over any chair. We used it here on a vintage camping chair we have, to show how easily it fits over any chair you need. Even the really old ones!
We love this look, too. It just goes on effortlessly.
Rigby + Fitz were even thrilled to try it out, too. I don’t think Fitz wanted to move, once she was sitting pretty.
And it will also be available in… wait for it… this H20 Low Sling Beach Chair. WHAT. No more staggeringly hot days at the beach, when you can use this right beside your cooler! We’ll take five, please. Brilliant.
A few questions we had:
Is it waterproof?
The system is completely waterproof, so if you goof and leave it outside in the rain {looking at our kids} or it gets wet poolside or at the beach, you’re still covered.
How long will the battery last?
The cooling system will run for over 24 hours on full cool mode, and the heating system lasts for 4 hours on high {140F}, 6 hours on Medium {160F} and 8 hours on low {105F}.
What happens if something breaks?
The lines don’t freeze in the winter, and if something breaks, it comes in 5 easy parts which can easily be replaced by contacting their customer service team.
It’s also UL certified. It’s like they’ve truly thought of everything.
These chairs will be available in Spring 2023, so be sure to follow along on their site for the big release.
And if you’re curious, we loved the price, for what you score with this package, as well: All suggested retails are for kits including heating / cooling technology, battery, and charging cable. Camp Chair: $179-199, Beach Chair: $149-159, and Retrofit Pad: $109-119. We’ve all dropped money on gear in the past… we love that these are fair and totally worth it.
These Ecto Chairs are so handy to have and will be available at multiple retailers oh so soon!
We’re thrilled to share this new product with you today, and hope that you’ll keep it in mind for your family and friends’ next camping / beach / sporting / outdoors adventure. The possibilities really are endless.
Have an inspired day!
