JRC Defender II Relaxa Recliner Arm Chair is a wider, higher-backed chair for anglers who want arm rests, recline adjustment and a more supported sitting position. It is built around a high-tensile steel frame with padded polyester and polar fleece contact areas.
The backrest can be adjusted through 8 angles, giving a useful range from upright watching to a more relaxed position during quiet spells. Adjustable locking legs and mud-proof feet are included, so the chair can be set to a comfortable height and levelled on uneven banks.
Published specifications list a 56cm seat width, 68cm backrest height, 39-53cm seat height range and 150kg maximum load. The listed chair weight is 6.3kg, which keeps it manageable while still including recline adjustment, arm rests and a long back.
This chair is aimed at anglers who prioritise sitting comfort over the smallest folded package. The combination of a long back, wider seat, adjustable legs and 8-angle recline makes it a practical option for day sessions, overnighters and general carp or coarse fishing use.
The main buying check is whether the angler wants a proper arm-chair style layout rather than a compact stool or lightweight folding seat. For comfort-led fishing where the chair may stay set up for hours, the specification is well aligned.

| Adjustable locking legs | The leg system helps set the chair height and keep the chosen position secure. |
