the details

every piece, the same promise.

recycled ocean bound plastic

Every piece is made from plastic pulled before it reached the sea.

built for salt & sand

Rust-proof frames, quick-dry fabric, sand that shakes right off.

packs down, carries easy

Folds flat, clips together, slips onto your back for the walk down.

designed in newport beach

Drawn for the days we actually spend on our own coast.

The chair we made because the one we had wouldn't stop letting us down: rusted frames, sagging seats, fabric gone by August. So we built the one we actually wanted, right down to a seat spun from plastic pulled out of the ocean's path.

Customizable backpack beach chair with MOLLE attachment system for pouches and accessories

the system

The chair carries the rest.

Look at the side panel. Those rows of webbing are MOLLE loops, borrowed from gear that has to work in the field. They turn the chair into a platform.

Clip on a pouch for your water bottle, your sunscreen, your keys, your phone. The chair carries the rest, so your hands stay free for the cooler and the kids.

the materials

Three things we will not compromise on.

Beach chair fabric made from recycled ocean-bound plastic bottles with waterproof rust-resistant frame

material 01

Recycled ocean bound plastic

The seat fabric starts as bottles intercepted before they reach the water. Soft enough for a long sit, tough enough for sun and salt.

SUN'Y ESCAPES Nautical Navy backpack beach chair with beachwood armrests and rust-proof aluminum frame

material 02

Beechwood armrests

Solid beechwood, warm under your forearm, ages well. Not the plastic ones that go chalky in a season.

Backpack beach chair features diagram showing cup holder, storage pocket, detachable pillow, 300 lb capacity, and 8 inch seat height

material 03

Aluminum frame, rust-proof

Aluminum bones instead of steel, so the salt air doesn't win. Light to carry, rated to 250 lbs.

Lightweight portable beach chair with padded backpack straps for easy hands-free carrying

the carry

Seven and a half pounds. Hands-free. Straps built in.

Padded backpack straps mean you can sling it on and walk a quarter mile of sand without thinking about it. Seven and a half pounds total, including the detachable pillow. Folds flat, slides into the trunk next to the towels.

Comfy and light.

Just an awesome beach chair! It is comfortable, lightweight, and easy to carry. The MOLLE system is great giving you a water bottle holder, a small pouch , and other attachments. A bit low to the ground but that is normal for a beach chair so your feet and legs can be in the water. I am a larger guy and I fit just fine in it, none of that squeeze on the hips. There is a smaller pouch that fits a cellphone easily to keep it safe and in reach. The back is soft but hold you upright easily, and I love the color! the navy blue is just swee! A bit on the higher cost spectrum but deff worth it!

Low-rise Beach Chair

I would recommend this chair for its durability, convenience, and ease of use.It is moderately light-weight with the backpack straps making it easy to carry from the car to the beach. The handle on the top of the backrest is convenient too for shuffling it around.I really like the ease of adjusting the back by just lifting the armrests to raise or lower it. For me, the chair is more comfortable with a footrest, but is fine without it.It sits low enough that you could sit beside the pool with your feet in the water.My only complaint is the backpack straps that wrap under the legs when the chair is open so they would get dirty in the sand or whatever. They can be pulled to the sides of the chair but still in an awkward position and on the ground.

I think this is a good buy

I really like this chair it is low to the ground It has straps that you can carry it with like a backpack which really makes it much easier when you're trying to carry other things in your hands it also has a like a handle so you can also carry it instead of it trying to cure you I love all the amenities the pillow the little side It feels like it's a little pouch where you can put stuff in or maybe a cold drink or something I think this will be a fantastic product to try on the breach as I've only tried it at home like in the backyard in the grass so far.

Sturdy, comfortable, well-made chair

Super happy with this beach chair!The quality is top-notch. The materials are solid, strong, and comfortable. The fabric isn't cheap, and it doesn't irritate my legs.The chair is light, and the straps work well for wearing it as a 'backpack', freeing up your hands to carry other items. (This is what surprised me most; I figured I wouldn't use this feature.) I was wrong! It's very convenient.)It's also comfortable. My husband, our teens, and I all agree that this is the best of the chairs.The storage and cupholder are perfect and sensible. Not overdone, or too much extra like you get sometimes.I like the idea of it being compatible with other accessories, and we will be getting a complete set.

Good buy!

This backpack beach chair is a game changer. It's extremely lightweight, portable, and reclines in 4 positions; perfect for long beach days. I like how it is wider than most. It has the wood arm rests which is good because it prevents putting your arms on hot metal. It also has a buckle to hold the chair together when using the backpack feature. The adjustable shoulder straps could use a little bit more padding but for carrying the chair short distances, it works okay. There is a Velcro side pocket and another little pocket big enough to hold a small drink. It looks great, and I believe it will hold up against sand, sun and salt. Overall I nice buy.
