Hi
Does anyone have the trakker levelite lumbar bed? Looking for a first hand user review, I'm looking to couple it with a Snugpak/Fortis sleeping bag.

I recently purchased it and have paired it with a trakker 365 bag.
I'm really happy with it - the build quality is second to none.
It's also quite a wide bed, 87cm I think off the top of my head so it does carry a bit of weight, especially with the 365 bag on it.
Having said that the weight is no more than some of the other higher end beds out there. It may even be less.

I have one and use it as my main bedchair unless im travelling light for quick night session somewhere. Mine replaced my first levelite with paracord mid section. I find the lumber design far better than the older type but still has a comfy matress.
I also use it with a fortis sleeping bag which fits it well

Thanks mate, do you know if the bed is the same as the Oval apart from the shape. My local shop has the oval atleast I can then check it out there for comfort.

I think the mattresses differ slightly but I could be wrong.
Gooutdoors with a Fishing Republic tend to have them on display if you have one local.

In what way is the build quality "in a different league"?
I can see the Solar is shorter, narrower and heavier which maybe suggests the materials are heavier duty.

The frame is stronger,the hinges are alot thicker and the spring loaded legs feel alot more robust.I had the trakker els and now have the solar and it is far better in every way

I have a trakker levelite and a solar sp c tech with the fortis bag you mention, the bag fits both beds perfectly but as has already been said the solar bed is a level above th etrakker - its much more solid, the legs and feet are better and easier to use and there is nbo elastic so the solar is much firmer.
I brought the solar after using the levelite for some time and its a lot bnetter imo

Yes it will,due to the double hinges it will be fine.The only one thing I have added to mine is a little strap to go around it once folded.Solar only fitted the one clip and even though it is robust it's just not enough for me
