It’s not easy getting a tan. And as I discovered recently, even vacationing in the South of France won’t guarantee some Summer soleil. With such unpredictability, a gadget that makes it easy to get the most out of the occasional breaks in the clouds would immensely helpful – and that’s exactly what this here sun lounger does. Called the Suntracking Beach Chair, it is the only folding beach chair out there that lets you swivel 360ยบ – a feature which makes it easy to always face the sun, without the effort of continuously getting up and changing positions.
Winner of a Gold Medal at America’s largest invention show, INPEX, the Suntracking Beach Chair is a smooth operator – swiveling on steel ball bearings which are likely lots of fun to spin on during a dull passage in your book and are specially sealed with a rubber gasket to keep out the sand and dirt. The chair reclines to three positions for comfort too, includes a removable pillow for head and neck support and has a handy flip-back canopy to shade your face when required – such as for reading the display on your phone/mp3 player or not pushing a palid complexion to an embarrassing shade of lobster red.
With a woven polyester backrest and seat, an anodized aluminum frame and bamboo armrests that are good at withstanding prolonged exposure to sun and moisture, the Suntracking Beach Chair also includes a cup (or is that ice cream) holder, a carrying strap and folds to just 6-inches deep.
Ready for your next trip to the beach, park or yard, the Suntracking Beach Chair supports up to 250 lbs, measures 35″ high x 20.5″ wide, weighs 15 lbs and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $149.95.
