I have got it,it's very light and comfy.I just wished the single leg at either end locked in place like on the flatliter,i knocked one when putting a bag under and it moved so was not on the ground properly.They just lock using a cam-lock system

Brought one a couple of months ago, much better than the mk1 flatliter i had before. Its more similar in size to the compact version of that so smaller than i had before making it a bit easier to transport and getting in/out of the car. Notice the difference in weight as well. Just aas if not more comfortable than the mk1, dont know how this compares to the most recent flatliter though
Like below, the only thing that does let it down is the end legs dont lock in position, im going to drill a single hole in the mud feet on mine so i can peg them in position for uneven swims. On flat ground its not an issue

I found it really good, and lighter than stated according to my reubens 😂... The spring loaded feet make levelling it off in the bivvy a doddle... The lumbar support is very good and comfortable... If your not going with the sleep system and using another sleeping bag bear in mind that the bag securing hoods will foul on the single legs... I just cut a hole in the hoods of mine... Does not effect anything.. Overall I'm pleased with mine... Way better than my previous 3 trackers in every respect.. Being the levelite the Flat 6 and flat 6 super light... This bed is way ahead of those...

18lb 1oz 😁... Which is roughly 8.1 and a bit k.. They state 8.6 k... This was after I'd tightened the elastics and chopped off about 18 inches... It's a comfy old bed for that weight...

Looks promising. So many light beds are so uncomfortable. Been through jrc, wychwood etc

Spent 3 nights on mine now ad it's by far the best bedchair I've ever slept on, I always went home with aches of some sort! Don't whatsoever on this, I have the sleep system! Proper bit of kit worth every penny

Looking to upgrade to the Duralite system from an old JRC Python. The only area of the bed that concerns me (other than the camo section, which will be covered by the bag!) is the in built pillow. I would rather a perfectly flat bed, then would add a separate pillow, like at home. My concern is how
comfortable is the inbuilt pillow and also I assume when adding a removable pillow on top, the angle is higher and therefore, dependent on personal preferences, uncomfortable on the neck? Would appreciate some feedback on this and also whether long term users of the bed/system are still finding the comfortable overall?!
