Sihoo Xallking X5C — a full-mesh gaming chair on an aluminium base, rated to 136kg.
The X5C is built for long sessions in a warm room. The back, headrest and seat are all mesh, tensioned rather than padded, so air moves through the chair instead of collecting behind you. The frame sits on an aluminium alloy base rather than nylon, and the mechanism locks in three positions from a 107 degree working angle back to 135 degrees of recline. Everything that touches you adjusts: the 4-zone lumbar support slides 4cm up and down, the 3D headrest lifts 7cm and rotates on two joints, and the armrests move up and down and front to back and follow the backrest as it reclines. Seat height runs 42.5 to 50.5cm, the seat itself is 50.5cm wide and 51cm deep, and the waterfall-shaped front edge takes the pressure off the backs of your legs.
