Rinse with fresh water after the beach and let it air dry before folding. Wipe the beechwood armrests with a damp cloth now and then. No bleach. The recycled ocean bound plastic fabric is built for sun and salt, so a quick rinse is all it needs.

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.

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.
