The Rio Beach Hi-Back Steel Backpack Chair is a folding beach chair with a built-in backpack on the back, so you carry it hands-free. It has a 4-position recline, an adjustable pillow headrest, a beverage holder and hardwood armrests. The steel frame is powder coated and the 600x300 denier polyester fabric is waterproof. It suits beachgoers, campers and festival-goers who walk to their spot and want to carry gear on their back. Against basic folding chairs it adds the backpack, the recline and the headrest, but it weighs about 10 lbs and is rated at 240 lbs, so it is heavier and less capacious than some rival backpack chairs.

Owners of Rio Beach backpack chairs generally like the hands-free carry and the recline, and many use the backpack for a cooler and towels. Complaints center on weight and on the frame's durability over time.
