This week we discuss nine of the lightest bedchairs on the market under 10kg.
Why the lightest you ask? We look into why having a light bedchair has major benefits when carp fishing.
This all started when I was researching the weight of my current bedchair. My current bedchair weighs currently just a little over 10kg so I wanted to see how many bedchairs are on the market that are under 10kg.
I spent around 3 months researching bedchairs from throughout the internet plus asking my fellow anglers their thoughts.
The guide

Hi Darren I just looked at it and it look like a carbon copy of the wychwood tactical bedchair which I’ve had experience with. It’s super lightweight and good quality but over time it has begun to sag because it has no support straps underneath, hope this helps!
