Avid benchmark lite has to be considered too. Less than 7kg.

My RLX super light is the best I have had for comfort and weight.
JRC one mentioned below was not comfortable due to hand wheel.
Wychwood was awful, realised this after testing it in the garden for 5 minutes.
Trakker compact was ok though.

Had the Wychwood tactical compact mk1, now have the standrd mk2 and its excellent, can fold my self inflating mat and fortis bag in it. Has long inserts for the legs so can be set from low to rather high which makes it comfy for sitting on.

Would be interested in people's thoughts on the avid chair. Was planning on having a look at one before the lockdown began.

Thank you all for that and looking at the Stealth it looks good! I must admit regardless of what I am sleeping on I am mega light sleeper on the bank. Just getting fed up with bulk on the barrow now, especially when I have to tramp to my swim a long way off from the car.

I bought a RLX superlite this week after reading this thread, to replace my previous model JRC stealth (with the wheel, not the ‘flat' version).
Arrived yesterday and first impressions are excellent - very light but wider than the JRC and being flat feels like a big step forward. Techlite compact bag arriving today so will hopefully be a good combination. Need this lockdown to end so I stop buying tackle 😬
The legs are still short though which I guess is where some of the weight saving comes from as mentioned below. I tend to fish a few waters with sloping bank, so may have to go down the DIY route of making some leg extensions/extender blocks, or something similar. Has anyone done anything like this? Wonder if you could order some normal RLX legs from Trakker if they're longer.

like you I fish sloping banks and made 3 blocks 5 inches high I stood the foot of the bed on them drew round it then screwed a 3/4 inch border around it these work very well even on steep banks as the foot can tilt but cant slip out of the block
I amazed that an angling company hasnt made a universal extender block for sloping banks where extra height is needed
