In this epic beach chair review video, I'll be checking out three backpack beach chairs with cooler pockets. Just to liven things up, I'll even throw in a giant beach chair, which certainly makes me feel like the king of the beach.

Tommy Bahama beach chair - greatest of all time

[@margaretsadoian9349]

Finally I have learned how to close Tommy Bahamas beach chair. It was a struggle to fold up. After watching your clearly demonstrated how to do it, I don’t feel bad after all. Thank you!!!

[@BeachGearGuy]

Excellent! Glad it helped!

[@justinspear2566]

first time EVER looking up beach chair reviews just because I'm about to get the Life is Good one online. This video did not disappoint. Awesome review man, hilarious and helpful content only!

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks Justin! I'm really glad you liked the video! Hope you enjoy the Life is Good beach chair!

[@Pogokoala]

That was very very wholesome to see family picture. God bless

[@BeachGearGuy]

I love that picture, and you're the first to mention it. Thank you.

[@tanyad.2180]

Great video. I just purchased the new Ostrich Backpack 3N1 Chair w/cooler bag, certainly hope it lives up to the cost, geesh.

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks! Yeah. $174.95 on Amazon! Please let me know how it works out.

[@earmstrong98]

Thank you!!!! My 2 “Tommy Bahamas” arrived from Amazon 3 days ago and have been sitting in my living room. Now I can finally CLOSE them and head for the sand 🏖& sun🌞 !!!! 😁🏊🏽‍♀️🪁👙

[@BeachGearGuy]

Fantastic! Glad the video helped! Enjoy the sand & sun!

[@jostnyc]

Great video. Thanks so much. I watched other reviews and they got nothing on you! Your video was exactly what I was looking for, not a robot talking about the chairs and showing stock photos. Great job!

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks and you are so welcome! I really do appreciate it. Hope you're having a fun summer...and I also hope you find a great beach chair!

[@jostnyc]

@@BeachGearGuy I bought the Life is Good chair thanks to you! It worked out great. And I got a great deal.

[@chrisawelch]

This video was so helpful. I just moved to the beach and want to get a good quality chair that will last a while, be easy to carry, and most of all be comfortable. The bar across the front is something I definitely don't want.

[@BeachGearGuy]

Glad the the beach chair review was helpful! Thanks for letting me know!

[@claucristina]

Man thank you so much. My mom bought a tommy bahamas beach like three days ago and no one could figure out how to close it. Super helpful video!!!

[@BeachGearGuy]

That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing that with me. Hope you and your mom have a great spring & summer!

[@elissasanchez4749]

Yes same with me! I got to enjoy it today thanks to you!

[@charlesmeyer2184]

You are the best at what you do. Don't ever stop

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks, Charles. I appreciate that.

[@unknownquantity4440]

Tommy Bahama FTW! Every season I look for a better overall design, but haven't found one in over a decade! FYI, you can use a simple ultralight foam pad on the seat to deal with that front bar digging into your thighs. I use an inflatable sleep pad to turn this chair into beach bed/cot.

[@BeachGearGuy]

Wow! A beach chair/sleeping cot! You may be on to a great new idea! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

[@kazktrl5503]

What exactly did you buy. I don’t see how you can make it into a cot, where do you put the sleep pad exactly ¿

[@chrisayers2737]

Where did you buy yours? I’m having trouble finding one

[@donjuandemarco4115]

Dude your videos are awesome. Love the music. Watched some of your reviews I didn’t even need to watch just to keep that track going lol great move, good content, keep it up.

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@aerochicc]

That music makes you want to hit the beach. :)

[@grownupgaming]

we need an update! more chairs! a lot of them have fixed or removed the bar that hits the back of the thigh

[@daisyr.8320]

Thanks for the videos! Would love to see a review on a beach chair/umbrella/canopy combo! My goal is to pack as light as possible. Haha

[@BeachGearGuy]

Great Idea Daisy! Thanks for suggestion! I'm going to work on that!

[@aloniagalassi267]

Thank you!

[@BeachGearGuy]

You're welcome!

[@mikegrsziano9196]

Great reviews, thanks! Wish these manufacturers would scrap the zippers, they just rust and fail over time. A better idea is probably to scrap the cooler pouch and just have one big pocket with snap clips.

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks, Mike! Cool idea!

[@sovamainnn8154]

great idea!

[@hellodahling1744]

I love all your reviews. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Could you please make a review on beach umbrellas that attach to your chair. Thank you and take care.

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks, Dahling! A personal beach shade for beach chairs video is a great idea. I review the Versa-Brella (a personal shade that attaches to beach chairs) in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Ldo3-YecaUb5I The Versa-Brella review starts about six and a half minutes into the video.

[@CaptainJackSparrow110]

All those beverage holders and cooler pouch for drinks in the oversized red beach chair. So, how quick does pee flow through the bottom when you pee in the beach chair?

[@PanyingPilot]

Perhaps a swimming pool noodle would help with the leg issue on these chairs. If I were a surf fisherman, I'd get the last chair.

[@zoranmaksimovski2755]

*Love the towel bar and the cooler Not a big fan of the pillow. It's a bit thick and a little uncomfortable for me. I like the pockets on the side. They are a bit tough to figure out how to fold up and unfold but i'm sure that will change with practice.*

[@BeachGearGuy]

Hi Zoran! Thanks for dropping by and commenting on my beach chair video! Were you referring to the Tommy Bahama beach chair?

[@bluetree6737]

I just ordered 2 Tommy Bahama beach chairs - will let you know how it goes. loved your video

[@bluetree6737]

Also when quoting weight and dimensions can you also translate for us Aussie's in metre's and kilo's?

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks! Sounds like you're ready to hit the beach! Did you get the same Tommy Bahama beach chairs with the pineapple pattern?

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks for your perspective. I'll keep my Aussie friends in mind when measuring and weighing beach gear. 🏖️

[@bluetree6737]

@@BeachGearGuy got the striped ones but here its a bit different....no wooden arms

[@davidlahaisejr7479]

I like chair with the attachable cooler. Which one was that? The big one is cool too!

[@BeachGearGuy]

I love the giant red beach chair! The Life is Good beach hair has the removable cooler bag.

[@sidneywhite749]

Can you review a beach chair for old people with bad knees and back, I guess more of a camp chair. Hopefully one will surface with an aluminum frame , I am concerned the steel frames will rust away. I surf fish and need to be comfy during those long wait times.

[@BeachGearGuy]

I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion, Sidney!

[@colleenh86]

You might like the Strongback brand camping chairs…only ones I’ve found with good lumbar support. I like to periodically spray the metal frames with Boeshield T-9 rust inhibitor, to make them last longer. I use that stuff on a lot of our beach gear, and it helps.

[@vnaj]

Hi! Great video! Thanks for making it! What's it like wearing these beach chairs as a backpack when they are fully loaded with drinks, snacks, toys, bluetooth speaker, and such in the pouches? Is it doable or too uncomfortable? Thanks!

[@BeachGearGuy]

I replied to your comment a few days ago, but I guess I never hit reply. I have found that backpack straps are usually an afterthought for most beach chair manufacturers. The straps tend to be thin. If you load up a beach chair with heavy items such as beverages, you'll definitely feel the weight on your shoulders.

[@vnaj]

Thanks for your insight! I appreciate it!

[@BeachGearGuy]

@@vnaj You bet!

[@mlnesson1]

Your reviews are excellent. I am 70 yrs old and looking for a good beach chair (higher seating) and a cart that I can take to the beach or a park. what would you recommend for me?

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks for the kind words regarding my videos! I bought my 78-year-old Mom this Rio Beach 17" high beach chair, and she loves it. I'm actually going to review it in an upcoming video that should be on my channel in mid-June. Here's my Amazon affiliate link so you can check it out: amzn.to/3WuaOIC As for a beach cart, I would recommend something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6q0iISpr56Ye9k It's great for hauling around beach chairs, and it can fit in the trunk of a car. Hope this helps!

[@mlnesson1]

@@BeachGearGuy Thank you so much for such a quick response! Greatly appreciated as i am planning a week on Cape Cod with my daughter's family (3 grand-kids and they all love the beach).

[@BeachGearGuy]

@@mlnesson1 Cool! Sounds like a fun time!

[@KJH7680]

The Tommy Bahama beach chair is 34 dollars at costco. Don't over pay.

[@wvmom2727]

I just paid 150.00 for two on Amazon. Oops. I don’t go to Costco. Not for the beach though. For outdoor concerts.

[@tinacollins7149]

Just watched this video 1 year later and I was going to say the same thing. Tommy Bahama cair is great just go to Costco.

[@steveareeno65]

And the nice thing about the new Tommy Bahama at Costco is they got rid of the bar underneath your legs. Plus I got two chairs for 64 bucks online.

[@jessica6095]

love this

Thanks!

[@davidlahaisejr7479]

I like the big chair do you use at your apartment???

All the time! 😉

Nice review! Where'd you get the monkey statue?

[@BeachGearGuy]

Thanks! I adopted the surf monkey over 20 years ago at a New England town fair. They told me he was born in Tijuana.

[@attackhelicopter8631]

Am I the only beachgoer who is thoroughly irritated that the backpack straps hang down in the sand when the chair is open? And thus, when I close up the chair to leave the beach I am also covered in sand when I put the chair on my back? This absolutely ruins my beach experience.

[@BeachGearGuy]

You're not the only one April. If I think of it, I will tighten up the backpack straps and tie them together with a mini bungee chord so they don't hit the sand.

[@yellowbird5411]

Put a beach towel under your chair. When you pick the beach towel up, put it in a disposable plastic bag so you can wash it when you get home. At least the sand isn't on the chair.
