The Backtab is the smartest and most convenient backrest ever created. It will change the way you relax outdoors forever.
Have you ever been out with friends at the beach, picnic, or festival and wanted a convenient way to sit down comfortably? Travel chairs are normally large and entirely impracticable to have on you at all times while walking around. This is where the awesome Backtab comes in!
How it Works
The Backtab is a surprisingly small fold able backrest designed to go with you wherever you go. The size and weight are comparable to a tablet, fits in nearly every bag, yet is as comfortable as a much larger standard beach chair.
Material and Components:
You may be asking yourself, “how can this thin plastic board hold up someone’s full body weight?” It is extremely confusing to see how this is possible, but the Backtab utilizes a strong unique material – GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic).
GRP is much stronger than you would expect, durable, and lightweight all at the same time.
Though it is a plastic composite, glass fibre reinforced plastic is used to build helicopter rotor blades and utilized on other military vehicles. GRP is also actually stronger than steel on a kg-for-kg basis and is entirely corosion resistant. And to top it all of, this material will last for as long as you need it, having a design life of 50 years!
This backrest can easily hold the weight of a 6′ 190lbs man.
Benedikt, the founder of the Backtab, seems to have done his homework when it comes to the materials required.
Small Size
The intention behind the creation of the Backtab was to create a tablet sized comfortable backrest. Making it tablet sized was important, because the goal was to have it fit in just about any backpack, making it the perfect travel companion.
As you can tell from the image below, the dimensions of the Backtab are just 10.2″ x 7.1″ x 0.75″ and comes in at 2.4lbs. If most any material other than GRP was used, it would add to either the weight, size, or both in order to maintain the strength required to be used by a full weight grown man.
Multiple Options
