Folding chair with canopy

Product

Kelsyus Backpack Beach Chair

Promise

A lightweight folding lounger that comes with a collapsible canopy to keep UV rays off.

Performance

The chair is as easy to put up as they claim - though a little different to normal folding chairs. When folded, the two rucksack-style shoulder straps act as wide, comfortable slings, but when in chair mode these unclip and swing around to become the 'arms' of the chair, complete with cupholder. The canopy is no less simple: from a separate flat bag, it unfurls and clips down to the headrest and arms of the chair quite simply. It's surprisingly roomy in there too, thanks to a low-slung frame, and comfy due to a padded headrest that's built in to the back.

Verdict

For paleface beachbums, this could be a saviour in the sun, and will probably save you money on after-sun creams in the long run...
