Playseat® Evolution - PRO ActiFit

Product Information

The steering wheel ended up higher than I would have liked owing to my high knees but ultimately was not a problem in the slightest. Adjustability: The driving cockpit features quick adjustability, making sure that everyone can fit, from children to adults. Designed to imitate the real-life equivalent, it features an authentic silhouette and is crafted from ActiFit upholstery. I might be well placed to comment on the comfortness and build quality given my aforementioned height and weight.

Inside you will fine the Chair itself as one piece folded with the chassis and frame parts disassembled. PlaySeat offer the Evolution and Alcantara in black and white with black or grey frames but they are in essence the same seat.The pedal plate and steering wheel plate are also fully adjustable, allowing full customization to every kind of player. Suitable for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, PC, and Mac, it features a patented foldable system that makes it easy to transport and pack away after your play session. The high-quality materials make it extremely durable and comfortable to sit on this chair for hours of racing fun.

The Mat does get dented by the PlaySeat over time and is not the easiest to hoover but it has a good underneath grip for smooth surfaces and sits fine on carpets too. In addition they offer the PlaySeat Revolution model 2013 which is essentially the same as the PlaySeat Alcantara and the PlaySeat Evolution only the frame is slightly different with the steering column stemming up from the seat rather than the base frame leaving you more foot room. The steering wheel column, surprisingly, at close to maximum extended settings, did not cause any stability issues with the wheel mounted – even with the strong force feedback created by the Logitech Driving Force GT.We noticed the frame creak now and again when there is large movement within the chair or when getting in and out. Its annoying to have to make length adjustments frequently by unscrewing the knob just under the seat which is why we said earlier above that the seat slider is a must have.

The seat will translate any Force Feedback of your steering wheel perfectly, allowing you to become more consistent and faster in your racing games. After some use with different people hopping on and off it, we know we could not have done without it as we would otherwise have to have kept making manual adjustments to the frame. The stitched finishing along the seat and the shoulder pads make it look like its been pulled straight from a real racing car so much so that their is a small notice on the back that states not to be used for real cars! The leather looking vinyl can get marked relatively easily so try not to wear any sharp clothing or anything that can cause it to dent (things like jean studs can mark it).There’s nothing much more to say other than it does exactly what it should and it is a must for anyone with a separate shift stick. Just like a real racing car: The Playseat® Evolution PRO is build to make you go even faster and bringing you even closer to real racing. You may find that the cushioned seating does not provide enough comfort to withstand long play sessions and I certainly felt that during endurnce races in Gran Tursimo 6. as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks.

Behind the chair, the back is Velcro’d down that can be lifted to get access to the mechansim that locks or unhinges the seat for when you want to foldaway.

The dimensions of the chair are 130 x 50 x 98 cm / 51 x 20 x 39 inches and whilst it can fold away, you do need a bit of storage space if you are not going to leave it set up. Once you are seated, you really do get the sensation of being in a real race car from your race height, position, leg angling and arm positioning. The PlaySeat Gear Shift Holder is compatible with the Logitech G25 and Logitech G27 Force Feedback Wheels and is easy to assemble and configure on to your PlaySeat .Without the PlaySeat Mat we feel the PlaySeat looks incomplete and so we are not sure why it was not included as standard.
