Island Shade Shack by Kelsyus to debut at Outdoor Retailer Show
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Aug. 2, 2011) – Kelsyus sets the bar high when it comes to comfort, durability and mobility in its portable outdoor products, and we’ll be at the Outdoor Retailer Show this week to give you a firsthand look at our Smart Gear on the Go Innovations. Below are some of our personal favorites and what we consider must-sees.
Island Shade Shack
“How long did it take to set that up?” Ask someone who has battled with a beach umbrella before, and you’ll likely get a frustrated reply. The new Kelsyus Island Shade Shack makes setting up instant shade incredibly simple, and when we say “instant,” we’re talking 30 seconds of total setup time.
The Island Shade Shack is the perfect shade solution not only for the beach, but also for parents seeking shade on the sideline of their kids’ outdoor sporting events, or a family looking for relief during a hot summer picnic. Aside from the easy setup, the product’s portability is its next best feature. The entire system easily folds and rolls up into its own carrying bag with a shoulder strap and weighs in at a mere 7 pounds.
The shack has a built-in sun shield with its Ultraviolet Protective Factor (UPF) of 50+, the highest UPF rating available, and the backside of the fabric has a mesh window to let fresh air flow right through the shade structure. Once you get home, the fabric can be removed and washed before your next outing.
The Kelsyus Island Shade Shack is offered in three eye-catching designs and retails for around $89.95.
Backpack Chair and Mesh Backpack Chair
Both the traditional Kelsyus Backpack Chair and the Mesh Backpack Chair share many of the same extraordinary features that keep these Kelsyus designs standing proud and sturdy anywhere they go. Their steel frames are lightweight but strong, supporting up to 250 pounds. Coverings are the finest with reinforced stitching at all stress points to assure years of dependable use.
Seats are low profile for relaxing comfort, yet the perfect fit for easy entry and exiting. The headrests at the top of the high backs are adjustable. Each chair has a cup holder in one arm.
Of course, the backpack reference in their names mean both models easily convert into a backpack-like bundle for carrying convenience.
Their patented one-step folding mechanism takes them down to a compact 27″x7″x5″ size for transporting or storage. The padded armrests become the backpack straps, totally freeing up both hands for other needs.
The Backpack Chair retails for around $42.95; the Mesh Backpack Chair sells for about $39.99.
Bamboo Hammock and Bamboo Chair
Bamboo is a naturally beautiful material that has incredible strength, which is why the Kelsyus all-new Bamboo Hammock and its Bamboo Chair, available in a new color for 2012, are stronger and lighter than their steel frame counterparts.
Both the chair and hammock have a natural, un-dyed cotton seat and pillow, providing the ultimate in comfort. The cotton seating combined with the natural bamboo frame looks incredibly classy too, guaranteed to make a lasting impression in your backyard or at the beach. The light-colored material looks as cool as it feels.
The chair has three different lounging positions and folds, so it’s easy to re-position or carry to a new vantage point. It retails for around $69.95, and the bamboo hammock retails for around $169.95.
Portable Hammock XL
This patented, lightweight hammock sets up in seconds with no tools required whatsoever. Its strong tubular steel frame provides a rigid and stable support on any surface, yet is light enough for easy carrying. The frame supports up to 300 pounds.
The XL designation means this model is larger than most hammocks, with a 15 percent bigger frame and bed. The additional size not only makes it more comfortable for lying in, but also easier to get in and out of. The hammock comes with an inflatable pillow for customizable comfort.
The Kelsyus Portable Hammock XL in Blue Wave pattern sells for around $119.95.
Go and Grow Chair
The Go and Grow Chair by Kelsyus is designed for kids on the grow and parents on the go. This innovative chair accommodates varying growth and seating needs for youngsters beginning as early as three months old and continuing up through the child’s first school years.
The Go and Grow Chair incorporates top of mind safety construction and features to give parents confidence and provide years of use indoors and outdoors. The chair’s steel frame is lightweight but strong, with legs having angled platform feet for stability. The chair’s durable fabric features reinforced stitching and resists fading, stains and mold.
Of course, seating comfort and quality materials are important, but what really makes the Go and Grow Chair so special is how it evolves right along with the child throughout three identified stages of development: Sit and Relax (ages 3-6 months), Stand and Play (pre-walkers, ages 6-12 months), and Big Kids (up to 75 pounds).
The Go and Grow Chair comes with a three-point harness for use with babies, a removable tray and sun bonnet, and many adaptable features for the child’s aging transitions. Color options are pink, green or blue polka dots on a brown background. The Go and Grow Chair retails for around $79.95.
