Helinox Beach Chair (re)
Low-profile beach-ready chair with upgraded (re)Tension Design, DAC aluminium frame construction and wide splayed legs for improved comfort and stability on sand.
Helinox Beach Chair (re) Overview
The Helinox Beach Chair (re) is a redesigned version of the original Beach Chair, now upgraded with (re)Tension Design, which introduces a second tension line to improve weight distribution and overall seating comfort.
It shares the same supportive high-back profile as the Sunset Chair but sits lower to the ground with wide splayed legs designed to remain stable on sand and soft terrain. This makes it especially well-suited to coastal use, relaxed campsite setups and warm-weather outdoor environments.
With redesigned resin hubs, improved corner pocket construction and a durable DAC aluminium frame made from repurposed aluminium shavings, the Beach Chair (re) combines comfort, portability and long-term durability for repeated outdoor use.
Best for
- Beach days
- Campsite relaxation

Frame & Materials
Frame — DAC Aluminium Alloy with Repurposed Aluminium
The Beach Chair (re) uses a proprietary DAC aluminium alloy frame made using repurposed aluminium shavings refined into alloy discs, helping reduce manufacturing waste while maintaining strength and durability.
Redesigned nylon resin hubs improve frame stability and reliability during repeated use, including in environments exposed to sunlight and saltwater.
Seat Fabric — Recycled Polyester Performance Fabric
The seat uses bluesign®-certified recycled 300D polyester, designed to withstand exposure to sun, salt and sand while remaining comfortable during extended seating periods.
Mesh panel sections improve airflow and help maintain comfort during warm-weather use.
Carry Case — Dual-Zip Storage Sleeve
The chair packs into a compact 53 × 15 × 11 cm dual-zip carry case with two webbing handles for easier transport between beach locations, campsites or parks.
All-Mesh Version Option
An alternative all-mesh version uses bluesign®-certified recycled nylon monofilament mesh to maximise ventilation during hot summer conditions.
This version includes a packable mesh tote instead of a zip carry case and measures 55 × 16 × 23 cm packed, with a packed weight of 1756 g.
Features & Technologies
(re)Tension Design Comfort System
The Beach Chair (re) introduces Helinox’s (re)Tension Design, adding a second tension line to better distribute body weight across the seating surface.
This improves overall comfort compared with the original Beach Chair and supports more balanced seating during longer periods of relaxation.
Beach-Ready Low Seating Design
The chair sits lower to the ground and features wide splayed legs with flat feet designed to prevent sinking into sand.
This improves stability when relaxing on beaches and other soft ground surfaces.
Built-to-Last Frame Construction
Redesigned nylon resin hubs improve structural stability, while the DAC aluminium alloy frame maintains long-term durability across repeated outdoor use.
Easier Setup System
Moulded corner pockets improve pole support and durability while helping guide the frame into position during assembly.
Shock-corded poles lock the structure securely into place for quick setup at camp or on the beach.
Integrated Comfort Features
A side storage pocket keeps essentials within easy reach while seated.
The headrest flap can hold a jacket, pillow or the chair’s carry case to create adjustable head support for improved relaxation.
Reinforced corner panels support seating stability and durability.
Packability & Dimensions
Despite its supportive high-back structure and improved comfort system, the Beach Chair (re) remains compact when packed and easy to transport between beach locations, campsites or travel setups.
Its collapsible frame design supports efficient storage inside vehicles, backpacks or travel gear systems.
