Hi guys I currently have a fox flatliner mk2 6 leg 3 season sleep system which is very comfy but also very very heavy at about 18kg with bag on.
So I'm after something that has them same kind of comfort but alot lighter.
I think I have narrowed it down to fox duralite or the avid benchmark lite.
Does anyone have experience of either???
I'm 6ft 2 tall if that makes a difference.
Many thanks Chris

Check the Solar Ch08, both Duralite and Avid are no match for this bedchair
Avid bedchair lite is a toy, Duralite sags after a while and the legs are not stable, the Solar Ch08 is of a much better build quality

It's 205cm in length compared to 215cm on fox so I imagine way too short. I wanted a solar but this is the issue I had.
I guess it's size/weight vs comfort , always a trade off

Trakker options will give you the length and light weight but not as comfortable

I'd recommend that you try them out first. When I bought my new bedchair, the two that I'd narrowed it down to were not very comfy at all, so I ended up buying a completely different one (Trakker). But what's good for one person isn't necessarily good for others. Different factors like your height, weight, back sleeper/side sleeper all affect the comfyness of a bedchair. Last thing you want to do is buy one and then have the hassle of sending it back.

Well I'm only 6ft and found the Duralite hard to move around in,I think it is because the bag zips to the bed.The bag does not move like a normal bag but I did not have much room at the feet end either

Definitely worth it.
Compared to some on the thread, i have the duralite and absolutely love it - no issues with sagging, or the legs, or room in the bag (5'10 and about 85kg - poss a touch more after Xmas
).
However everyone is different so looking in person is undoubtedly the best option if possible!
the ones i looked at were all good, just felt the duralite was the best for me.
i looked at the RLX - various types, solar bed and bag, nash - all good beds in their own right i think.

I'm exactly the same as you, no issues at all with the Duralite but it could not be any smaller for me. My bed is always flat so the legs do exactly what they are supposed to do. It has currently got a Thermarest SIM under it, it didn't need it but I had the SIM so why not. For me this is the warmest fishing bed/bag combo I've used

Wychwood Tactical X - Standard size - 7kg. Mine has SIM, Gardner Bag and Cover permanently attached and is still lighter than previous super expensive and uncomfortable gash bedchair without bag etc
I'm 6'1" and its more than big enough . . .to be honest considering buying the compact (6.5kg) for brolly fishing . .

I'm 18 1/2 stone and F604. I went for the trakker levelite lumbar as my Fox Ultra 6 leg has now seen better days. Very impressed with the Levelite, nice and firm. 365 bag slips on nicely and it all folds up as a system fairly well. The proof will be when I actually get aroudn to using it though but I may give it a go at home for a couple of nights to see how comfy it really is.
