Got it out and had a look at it yet? Any first impressions without being on the bank?

Some shops had stock delivered later, place where I ordered mine only had their delivery on Monday, I know some had them last week so hopefully by the end of the week they'll have yours, might be worth contacting them to check

Got mine and put it up in the conservatory, chuffed with it. Only issue is how do you take it down? Lol. The middle pole that clicks into place is firm and dont want to force it down and break it if this isn't how it's done

Lol. Was only in conservatory so no

Let's hope your conservatory doesn't have a build up of condensation
The only downside I can see with this bivvy is that you can't keep the peaked wrap on permanently.
It does look a tad Rizla thin, though that's all part of the gig, like the tempest, super light. Oh, and those plastic joints look a bit snappy. I do like the colour.
Edited: to avoid flame warfare.

Funny how you always get the fox basher jumping on most fox product threads. Can only assume they or newbies or have poor memories. Fox have made some great shelters in the past, frontier, original explorer, evo ect, great alarms at various price points, good bedchair and systems, sleeping bags and covers, they've even made some great rods and end tackle. They may have made some duff products but most companies have.

For me it's not the quality of the products it's the awful customer service and after care, a mate waited for almost 2 months for something to be sorted with a rx+ he had when he sent it off, after care makes a company and brand in my opinion. Got nothing against the products but no chance would I get anything big off them, had a xl bivvy leak on me aswell but tft sorted that out for me without having to go to fox directly thank god

Why was he going to fox with a problem with an alarm. That has only been out for 2 years. Thats going back to the shop, and they are swapping it for one that works. I dont get this fascination within fishing where you have to deal with the manufacturer. The retailer is responsible for sorting faulty products, especially when they are that new.

"Fox have made some great shelters in the past,"
You answered your own post without even realizing it, yes they all made some good products in the PAST. Now margin and money is king, **** the end user, put the prices up so you can build failure into the design. Fox still make good alarms but everything else is brass plated crap that everyone else sell's even blokes on Ebay.

I've seen many of comments on here saying that trakker are not what they used to be and the quality and workmanship had dropped over the years. I'm impressed with the frontier so far but until its on the bank and enduring some weather and use I can't say much more. I had a trakker slx before and took a while to put up, this took me 3-4 minutes on my first go. Love the spreader block

He bought them from someone else, he didn't get them from a shop bud. Doesn't really matter where you get something you would expect a lot better than that seeing he was paying for them to sort it out, a few companies can get your stuff back in a couple of days. Delkim/ jag/ century for example I broke one of my txi-d (my fault before anyone moans) I fell over my pod when it was icy before Xmas and kicked one of my alarms. I sent it in to be fixed on the Monday and they fixed it free of charge and I had it back by the Thursday, obviously I don't expect that sort of turn around with everyone but anything over two weeks is taking the piss in my view
