Cougar was created in 2008 with the motto "real gear for real gamers", and since then, all of its products have had the "gaming" tag added. All Cougar products are now tailored around meeting the needs of gamers mainly because pro-gamers are there to help Cougar with its product designs.

Last year, we reviewed Cougar's first gaming chair, the Armor. It was the first chair we reviewed that could have its backrest tilted by up to 180 degrees. The Armor is covered in PVC pleather and sports the orange and black colors of Cougar's logo, as do the next two gaming chairs of the company, the Armor One and Armor S, and the latter of these is today's review subject. The Armor S features that ubiquitous bucket seat design reinforced with a solid steel frame, covered in breathable PVC pleather, and adorned with a diamond stitching design on both the base and backrest. The upholstery uses high density mold shaping foam capable of coping with users of up to 120 kg (264.55 lbs). Finally, the Armor S is equipped with 4D armrests and covered by a two-year warranty in the EU and a one-year warranty across the rest of the globe.
