Anyone got one of these, what do you think of it? Been looking at one for a while now and the roped midsection would help me with my back after I damaged my back in January so need a firm bed.

I looked very closely at these when my old Wychwood Tactical died (I too like a firm bed). I tried the Superlite out down the local tackle shop but ended up going for another Tactical as it was firmer, lighter, and cheaper.

I've been using one for a year or more and rate it highly. I use it with a self inflating mattress underneath and find it very comfy. It's narrower than I was used to but I soon got accustomed to it and the narrower width makes it easier to handle. It's light as well. Big thumbs up from me.

Any reason you decided not to get the trakker one? Or was it just because of the bits you stated? What one did u get instead mate?

I'm the same bud Ian use to a wide bedchair but one something narrower in my bivvy, my over one is to big and takes up way to much room, also it's getting old now and isn't doing my back any good being loose

I went for another Wychwood Tactical mate. Don't get me wrong the Superlite was pukka, but not as firm, light, or cheap as the Tactical.

Fair enough mate I'll have a looks at it then, can you pack it away with the sleeping bag attached?

See I'm 6ft3 and average build so I'll have to try it out then

I'm F601, of large build. The rlx superlite fits me fine, I use it with a snugpak bag. I fit the bag, pillow, table and chair in it folded up easy 👍

I have a Trakker Superlite 6, Whychwood Tactical and JRC Stealth X-Lite .... The Trakker is full size and amazingly light for its size and very comfortable with a SIM on top. Only reason i dont use it more is i prefer a smaller bedchair

Everyone has a different physiology...but I found the Cyprinus tactical alike caused me some bodily damage..or exacerbated an underlying problem I didn't know I had..

Because I sat up to hit a take,and the firm lumbar support didn't give at all,it caused a massive internal tear in my inner core,six months off work,no fishing,no Haiths stuff and so on..

So anyone with a lumbar issue be aware...because if it can happen to me,it could happen to another,id also ad I'm a very fit chap...and it never crossed my mind,now I have an injury for life caused by a bedchair..👀
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
