Whether you’re going camping, sitting on the sidelines at your kids‘ soccer game or hanging out at the park or beach this summer, the bugs will find you. This time of year, it can feel like no amount of bug spray will protect you from the gnats and mosquitos. But that’s where this chair comes in.

Sure, you might not want to ditch the bug spray altogether, but this canopy chair comes equipped with netting that will help shield you from the bugs, so long as you’re seated. The chair is a traditional, foldable-style fabric chair, the type you’re used to toting around during the summer season — except that it comes with extra amenities. It’s equipped with a canopy to shield you from the sun, as well as netting that can be zipped up. Once zipped, the netting surrounds the entire chair and works to protect you from any flying bugs that might have otherwise had access to those exposed legs of yours.

The chair is made by SwimWays and is available through Amazon for $63.

As you can see, this chair has a lot to offer:

And when the mesh netting is zipped up, you’ll finally be able to enjoy your time in the outdoors, pest-free:

Once you’re ready to pack up and go home, this chair is collapsible and comes with a carrying case to make your journey back to the car even easier:

This product has mostly five-star reviews on Amazon, so much so that one of the only downsides to the chair is that you can’t just wear it around everywhere:

“Best investment ever!” exclaimed one reviewer. “My son has soccer practice in the evenings and mosquitos apparently love me. This chair made all the difference. Instead of having to spray myself down and inevitably still being bitten, the netting saved me! I was trying to figure out how to carry the chair back to my car with the netting still surrounding me…..sadly, this does not work, but does make for some hilarious moments that embarrass your kid.”

One of the more serious downsides that customers pointed out is the lack of support at the bottom of the chair, which “sags” when you sit down — but this is pretty typical for these sort of fabric folding chairs.

When it comes to chairs that will be total game-changers for your summer outings, this one ranks pretty highly. But if you plan to spend a lot of time going back and forth from the beach, you might also want to consider the Mac Sports Beach Chair Lounger, which doubles as a wagon to help you lug all of your things when you’re not sitting in the sand.

It’s available for as low as $134.99 on Amazon:
