Helinox Beach Chair

Say adios to bulky, uncomfortable beach chairs and hello to your new portable relaxation station. Helinox’s Beach Chair is as lightweight as it is comfortable—it weighs just over 3 lbs., packs to the size of a chubby dachshund, and comes in a mesh zippered case with an easy-to-grab handle. Set up is a cinch—the metal skeleton snaps together in a matter of seconds. The only hassle is yanking the fabric over the poles (particularly the bottom two), but it’s not too tricky and the subsequent tension keeps the chair taut and supportive. The case can be secured to the headrest and used as a pillow, although we feel that’s not entirely necessary—the existing high-backed headrest is ridiculously comfortable as is. While many lawn chairs sink into the sand like the Titanic did into the Atlantic, the Beach Chair’s splayed feet are optimized for the beach and offer a secure and stable platform. Our advice? Order a Beach Chair. When it arrives, head to the beach, set it up, kick back, and take a snooze. You can thank us when you wake up.
