The 5 season bag on the solar sleepsystem fastens to the bed like a normal bag would and then has the cover that you can take off via a toggle system.The bag it comes with is very good quality,I went for the bed and fortis bag combination in the end though

Thanks for the reply. Any reason why you went for the separate bag ?

I have had the Avid Benchmark for a few years, a pal purchased one after sitting on mine just after I purchased it. He does around 2-3 nights a week and sold it and purchased a Solar. Having sat on his bedchair I'm very tempted quality item the only thing stopping me is the lack of 4 legs. My Avid needs maintenance the plastic leg mechanisms are loose and need gluing more over having retightened the elastic twice o recently noticed the middle section of the frame has been inwards so it's only a matter I've time before I move it on.

Anyone with the sptech system found that the toggles on the cover dont line up properly. Either the toggles or the elastic loops are about 4 inches out of line on the one ive just recieved. Means the cover doesnt fit right at the foot end

The lack of the 4 legs on the Solar isn't a problem. I thought the same before purchasing. The legs at the foot end are slightly closer to the foot end than other bedchairs, and I suspect the hinge system and weighting helps too. I've found it almost impossible to tip up, unlike other 3 leg ones, which end up as a comedy sometimes. It really is a very good bit of kit.

It definately dosent need a fourth leg, its super stable as it is and would just add unwanted extra weight.

Anyone able to confirm if this is normal, or if the cover fits as per videos and pictures where the skirt is hanging down. If anyone has one working as i imagine it should, are you able to take pictures of the toggles and loops. Looks like rither the toggles or loops have been sown on in the wrong places

I've only used the outer cover once but it did line up with toggles from memory.
Had mine nearly 3 years and literally changed my fishing. Waking up without back or hip pain

Cheers guys. I sent pictures to solar. They are going to look into it for me. Seems an issue with manufacture
