INTRODUCTION

   When we received our very first gaming chair sample back in early 2016 we honestly had no idea that just over a year later gamers from all over the world would be so hooked with them and we're really not exaggerating. We've actually received dozens of emails by many of you asking for more such reviews and telling us that we have some of the most detailed and honest ones around the internet. It goes without saying that we always do our best to deliver accurate, detailed and unibased reviews (as people like us should) but reading it somehow makes the extra effort we dedicate well worth it. That being said we're doing our best to get our hands on every single gaming chair possible and today with us we have the very first gaming chair by our friends over at COUGAR called the ARMOR.

   COUGAR products are designed by COUGAR GERMANY, a professional R&D engineering team and COUGAR is part of the “HEC/COMPUCASE” Group. The unique combination of the world-famous German skills of designing the best products worldwide and HEC/s power and long-time experience to produce the best high quality products created innovative masterpieces in PSU history. The PC upgrading and DIY market is changing rapidly and is growing more and more. Professional user are asking for more than only stable and silent PSU/s, they want efficient and energy saving products without compromises in quality. COUGAR GERMANY created such products! COUGAR GERMANY combines the features of innovation and evolution to create efficient, powerful and unique products like “COUGAR POWER”. The purpose of COUGAR GERMANY is the satisfaction of the customer, reaching it by creating most valuable, advanced products. COUGAR – YOUR POWER!

   Since the ARMOR gaming chair by COUGAR is their very first attempt in this growing market it's currently only available in black and orange (just like their logo) so although that color combination happens to be one of my favorites that obviously comes down to personal taste. Still in terms of features the ARMOR lacks virtually nothing since it's dressed with high-quality breathable PVC faux leather and has a steel frame for both the backrest and the base, class-4 gaslift with support for up to 150Kg (backrest and base included), high-density cold foam padding (COUGAR doesn't give a specific number but after using it for 10 days we think it's roughly 50-55Kg/M3 for the seat and 25-30Kg/M3 for the backrest), 4 directional adjustable armrests (height/position/orientation), removable head and lumbar pillows, 60mm caster wheels, backrest adjustment (up to 180 degrees) and the somewhat classic tilt/rocking and height adjustment mechanism we find with most desk chairs. Design is also a very important aspect of the ARMOR so let's move with our review and take a closer look.
