When it comes to setting up camp—whether in a drive-up campground or at the beach—it’s important to bring the comfortable accessories. If you’re not backpacking, you don’t have to worry as much about lightweight and minimal items, and can expand your packing list to what will fit in your vehicle.
Camp chairs are important elements of your campsite. They’re essential for downtime and meals, and when you’ve spent all day hiking or engaged in other outdoor activities, you really want them to be comfortable. I’ve been testing out the Snow Peak Luxury Low Beach Chair lately, and it’s everything I need for relaxation in camp or at the beach.
First off, at 7.5 pounds, the chair is best used for home, car camping, or at the beach. I’ve even brought it to field sports events. It folds into a compact case for carrying and easy storage, and packs into a car or truck without a second thought. The chair’s frame is aluminum, the seat is polyester canvas, and the armrests are teak.
The chair’s low style with a sitting height of 12 inches and total height of 27 inches will be familiar to those who are used to low beach chairs, but if you need something higher, Snow Peak also makes the Low Beach Chair. That chair has the same sitting height, but extends the total height to 39 inches.
The Luxury Low Beach Chair has a mesh storage pocket and accessory hook on the back of the seat, for easy storage. Don’t want to put your beverage on the ground? Add Snow Peak’s Low Chair Cup Holder to keep refreshment at hand.
Despite being beautiful, the chair is tough enough for outdoor use and provides great mid-back support.
The Luxury Low Beach Chair comes in ivory and dark green colors, and lists for $249.95 on the Snow Peak site.
