AKRacing Arctica Gaming Chair Review

The Arctica Series – made for confusing us gamers. Why would I say that? Well, the Arctica Series is exactly the same chair as the AKRacing Premium Series except for the design. The measurements and features are the same, but they decided to draft a new look. I do not know why AK came out with this new series instead of adding the new design to the Premium Series – who knows, maybe they just felt like bringing out some new chairs.

However, the Arctica Series is a pretty cheap chair in comparison to other models from well-established high-class brands like this one. It seems as if AK tries to make their models less functional to make them more affordable – just like the Overture Series which provides 1D armrests, too.

The Arctica Series – made for confusing us gamers.

As I already said, the Arctica Series is like the Premium Series with another design. So if you already read my article about this series you can skip this part and scroll down to the buying guide in case you want to buy an Arctica chair. If you did not read the named article yet I will recur myself real quick:

The featureset of this model is kept simple: We have the typical 180° reclinable backrest, 12° lockable rocking functions and lumbar- and neck pillows. Pretty standard. Some high quality PU-leather covers the cold foam which has a density of 55kg/m³. Do not be scared of sweating too much on PU-chairs. If high quality faux leather is chosen the covering is pretty breathable. PVC leather makes more problems in this regard but almostly no gaming chair brand uses PVC except Vertagear.

The Arctica Series comes with 1D armrests – that is one of the aspects where AKRacing saved a little bit of money to make the chair cheaper. You should think of if you need armrests which are adjustable in more directions – I do not think that this is a must if you can save money instead. The only AK chairs offering more directions are the ProX Series and Onyx Series.
