Is this a chair or an umbrella? Yes.
What makes this beach/camp/picnic/tailgating/spectating/backyard chair so unique? GCI Outdoor’s SunShade Backpack Beach Chair has an umbrella-like shade made of fabric that has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 50 to prevent damaging sunlight from falling directly on you. Plus, it can rotate front to back so it covers the right angle without having to change your point of view. It even collapses flat when the wind kicks up or you need to keep from blocking someone else’s vision.
Throw some sunscreen, lip balm, snacks and a magazine or book in the large storage pocket on the back of this chair, then slip the backpack straps over your shoulders and head to your location of choice. You’ll find plenty of other creature comforts to make your day (night, too) even more relaxing. There’s an attached head pillow, hard arm supports and a mesh backrest that helps keep you cool as the temperature heats up. A beverage holder makes it easy to keep track of your drink and ensure it is close at hand so you’ll stay hydrated. All this in a lightweight, powdercoated, aluminum/steel hybrid frame that reclines in 4 positions.
