I've got the xlite level bed, light & comfy, only downside for me is short legs on uneven banks.

i made wooden blocks for my legs, out worktop. then drew my bedchair feet onto it,then screwed 2x1 timber battens round all 4 edges, so the legs sit inside,therfore they dont slip
if this makes sense ideal for unlevel banks..

I used 4mm paracord to replsce the elastic. Firmer and lighter. 5.5 kg.
Not sure when it will be available but I believe ESP are working on a bedchair.
Dave Ellyatt has hinted at it.
He removed the elastic on his bedchair and uses cable ties to hold the mattress on.

It will possibly marketed as lightweight but still be the same weight as most other bedchairs.
Same principle as the shelters over recent years.

Yes the whole marketing bivvy’s as “lightweight” and “ultralight” when they’re 7kg to 15kg is an absolute joke.

Lightweight compared to the 20-35kg though that some are. It’s relative to the market

Why can't someone make a decent lightweight barrow, all those push bikes with alloy frames do ok.
Maybe more expensive but I'd pay the extra if it saved the weight & 2 trips to the car to load the bloody thing as I have to park on the street.

Not sure of the logic there matey.
If you take 2 loads of heavy stuff and think a lightweight barrow is the answer to a single load what are you currently pushing. I may be missing something somewhere -lightweight bikes are built for relative loads not so you can have a passener

I get what you're saying but light weight bivvy's have already been developed. What we're seeing is design going backwards.
The Aqua Products Aqualite is 3.5kg.
The Aqua Products Armadillo is 5.5kg.

Lightweight is lightweight when it’s relative. Most bedchairs are 10kg+ so anything under is lightweight isn’t it. Same with the current bivvy market.
With the advancement in barrows some kit gets heavier as people don’t mind as the barrow is powered.
Not for me. Give me a brolly and no groundsheet, leave the heavy bivvy for a camper.

It's not about the weight of the load it's about the weight & bulk of the barrow.
One trip with the frame, another with the wheel, handle & bits pain in the butt if the cars half a street away, don't take anything unnecessary but it's too much to carry any distance without extra arms
Get that power barrows are great for taking the kitchen sink & great if you can drive it straight into a van but not everyone has that
