The summer's here, which means lots of fun outdoor events, camping trips, and just hanging out in the backyard with family – but nothing can ruin outdoor fun like bug bites. Kelsyus came up with a solution to this problem, enter the Kelsyus Canopy Chair with Bug Guard, the “perfect companion for staying comfortable and protected from the elements.”
The advertised design combined a canopy with a net extending toward the ground. The 2019 listing gave a 250-pound capacity and described a shoulder strap for carrying the folded chair. These are historical product claims, not independent measurements or a guarantee of performance in every setting.
The hassle-free bug guard is sewn into the sides of the canopy and can be tucked away when not in use. The Canopy Chair features an oversized mesh seat with a rounded front for more ergonomic comfort.
A front zipper provided access to the enclosed seat, while weights along the net’s lower edge were intended to help keep it in position without ground stakes. Entry and exit are therefore part of the design, not an afterthought to the mesh enclosure.
The canopy was advertised with a UPF 50+ rating. That claim concerns the rated material and should not be expanded into a promise that the chair prevents all sun damage or protects every exposed part of a seated person.
Made from a sturdy powder-coated steel frame, the canopy chair has a breathable, ergonomic mesh oversized seat with a front edge that will not cut into the back of your legs. It also includes an O-ring armrest cup holder so you can enjoy all the luxuries of a regular armchair.
When you fold down this chair and snap it together, the canopy becomes the chair’s carry bag. There's an integrated shoulder strap for hands-free portability so that you can carry it to and from locations.
The chair is available through Amazon for $63.
People in the comments shared positive reviews of the chair:
The enclosure changes how a chair is used
The product combines a seat with a surrounding barrier, which makes access and comfort part of the design question. The 2019 description records the manufacturer's intended use, not independent testing in every environment. Archived prices and availability should be checked before anyone treats the page as a current shopping recommendation.

The combination is interesting because the components have to move together. The canopy provides the upper support, the net defines the enclosed space and the zipper makes that space accessible. When folded, the canopy takes on a second job as a carrying cover. Looking at those transitions gives the design more substance than a list of comfort claims, while leaving present-day purchasing decisions to current specifications.
