That back pack has a trolly , I have one . I have several back packs . you can buy a back pack on ebay for about £54 pound and it is just as good .... back packs are a great tool. i use mine a lot ( horses for courses ]..... you can get a shopping trolly for a tenner in home bargains , very light... just remove the shopping bag and you have a light trolly to put the back pack on .
in my opinion gardiner pole would be best.....
if your son in law is starting out with a back pack and barrels , water usage will be an issue . I switched to the gardiner blue pencil jets a few years ago. the rinse is just as good , but i use 30% less water.
hope this info is of use
