Heats on both sides with four heat levels and charges over USB-C. Bob Vila's testers found it held its rated warmth for about six hours, and it doubles as a phone charger.
Carries up to 150 pounds of chairs, coolers and bags, then folds to about 8 inches thick for the trunk. Rolls well on pavement and firm grass.
A built-in canopy gives UPF 50+ shade over the seat. The canopy folds down into the chair's own carry bag with a shoulder strap.
Rigid, watertight sides keep it standing upright on the bleachers. The tough shell rinses clean after a muddy field.
Compartments, a non-slip bottom and securing straps keep cleats, balls and snacks from rolling around the trunk. It folds flat when the season ends.
A phone gimbal with a built-in selfie stick and tripod legs. On iPhone it follows the play automatically through Apple DockKit.
The USB-C cable is built in, so there is no cord to forget, and it charges three devices at once. Engadget took a nearly dead phone to full in about 75 minutes.
Sized to the common 12x6x12 stadium bag limit, in thick clear PVC with a front pocket.
A wagon to carry everything in one trip, a chair or stadium seat, a blanket, a power bank and a cooler. Start with the wagon.
A heated stadium seat or a cordless heated blanket. Battery models last several games on a charge.
A heated blanket, an insulated tumbler or a big sideline tote, bought as a group gift from the team.
