The Ultimate Urban Wilderness Chair

Our hearts go pitty-pat when we behold the tricked-out Wilderness Recliner chair ($60; available at rei.com) by GCI Outdoor. Its profile is low enough to be welcome at outdoor plays and concerts, it reclines for intermission snoozing and has enough pocket space to keep sunscreen, bottle opener and playbill easily at hand. A plus: You can wear it like a backpack, keeping hands free for toting your cooler.
