I use to have a trakker superlite that is very light and you can leave on the bag mate

Avid benchmark is what you want

The benchmark isn't light I had one for 3 years, the feet aren't great, and I'd retighten the elastic which caused the frame to bend over time. I fell in love with the Solar SP, being similar in weight yet superior quality, it's more expensive and worth every penny.

The Solar SP weighs 12.9kg, so might be too heavy to fit the brief? The Trakker Superlite is 7kg, almost half the weight of the Solar bed.

The avid is almost 10k. When u consider the Wychwood and Trakker are around 7k. It's a big difference. I've discounted both avid and solar

Just picked up a Wychwood Tactical X Compact (from Old Geezer) and its very compact (I also own the standard) - 6.5kgs and only 2metres long - ideal brolly bedchair.

I've got the Avid Benchmark lite and It's under 7kg without a sleeping bag, great bedchair IMO (had it around 2 years or so now) and can't get much lighter.

I see mixed spec on the avid lite. Some say nearly 10kg and some say just over 7kg 🤷‍♂️

The sleep system is around 10kg (ie with their sleeping bag attached) the bed on it's own is around 7kg as I weighed it when I bought it.

Replace the ropes with cable ties and you save about 250g, and it eliminates any sag too
Are you sure?
