RIO Gear Rio Brands Aluminum Frame Backpack Chair, SC540
The Rio Brands Aluminum Frame Backpack Chair is a reclining aluminum frame chair with 300-pound maximum weight capacity. Once situated in the sand, beach-goers will appreciate the removable headrest, hardwood arms, and built-in drink holder. When it’s time to head home or further down the beach, the entire lightweight package collapses to a backpack-style carrying configuration with adjustable shoulder straps and an impressive 1,800-cubic-inches of cargo capacity. Rugged 600-denier polyester fabric material and the 25-millimeter frame will hold up to years of heavy outdoor use, and the 11-pound chair folds to 28-by-five-by-23.5-inches (W x H x D) when folded.

Overall, it is well designed…
