Lightweight sleeping

You have a lot to thank Wychwood for. They’ll not only be lightening up your kit and giving you a better night’s sleep thanks to their new ‘Tactical’ bedchairs, but you’ll also find you have a heavier wallet…

Wychwood is quickly re-establishing itself as the go-to brand when it comes to a premium product with a wallet-friendly price tag. And this time, the brand has smashed it by serving up ultra light bedchairs dressed with carp fishing’s biggest current trend, DPM camo. And guess what? They’re bloody awesome.
Thanks to its collection of three sizes – Compact, Standard and Wide – the Tactical Flatbed can handle any angler, in any situation, from ‘guesting’ to weeklong, ultra-comfort-required sessions overseas. Nigel Sharp roving around Frimley’s Pit 4? Compact Tactical Flatbed. Jon Mac flitting between Pingwood, the inland sea that is Sonning or his own French venue, Etang de Berniere? Standard Tactical Flatbed.

Light-weight, comfor-table and finished with a DPM padded skirt

Supporting the thick, fleece-lined green and DPM colour scheme mattress is a super lightweight (think: 6.5, 7 and 7.5kg respectively!), completely flat, six-leg aluminium frame which not only provides massive stability but thanks to the non-stretch, anti-sag side fixings, it’s mind-blowingly comfortable, too.

The Tactical Flatbeds are also champions thanks to the built-in padded pillow, fully adjustable legs, swivel mud feet and an opening cam system which allows you to store a sleeping bag inside whilst ensuring it still closes completely flat.
Lightweight? Tick. Comfortable? Tick. DPM? Tick. Ridiculously cheap? TICK!

“GIMME”: £119.99, £129.99 and £139.99; wychwood-carp.co.uk
