With a Reinforced Bedroll, the intent is to improve the durability (slow condition loss from use) of an ordinary bedroll.  This would consist of using a cured deerskin and gut to craft into the bedroll making it a Reinforced Bedroll where condition loss from use is reduced by 50%.  The downside would be no gain in warmth bonus and increased material requirements (cured deerskin, gut, and two cloth, as well as a means for sewing) for mending it.  I would assume that the Reinforced Bedroll would weigh 1.5 kg instead of the 1.0 kg of the default bedroll.

Then there can be the Improved Reinforced Bedroll which can, with another cured deerskin and gut, reduce condition loss from use by another 50%.  The Improved Reinforced Bedroll would weigh 2.0 kg.  The materials for mending remain the same as the Reinforced Bedroll.  

Then there could be an Enhanced Improved/Reinforced Bedroll (minimum Reinforced Bedroll) where ten rabbit skins and two cured gut can increase the warmth of the Enhanced Reinforced or Improved Reinforced Bedroll by +1 C.  The bedroll weight increases by 0.5 kg.  Mending would add two rabbit skins and one cured gut to the materials needed to mend a Reinforced or Improved Reinforced Bedroll.  

The weight increases would be cumulative.  An Enhanced Improved Reinforced Bedroll would weigh 2.5 kg and mending it would require two cloth, one cured deerskin, two cured rabbit skin, and two cured gut.  

So for almost the weight of a bearskin bedroll 😁 , one can get something with half the warmth bonus of the bearskin bedroll, a significant reduction in condition loss from use (if that matters to the player), and a fair increase in the materials needed for mending it.  However, later in the game, deer and rabbit skins and cured gut would probably not be much of a problem to acquire.  

Best guess this would be a DLC kind of addition as it would be nice to have but not essential.  :(
