In comparison to trakker aqua and a few others the price point is good, plus I got 20% off from vale during black fridwy
Regarding your Guinea pig comment, you do know that fox have made some cracking bivvies over the years and to judge them on the supa brolly for every bit of tackle they release is ridiculous... But hey you wanna look cool on the forum

Not not really, the ultra 60 brolly that fell apart before my eyes was in my imagination too, forgive me if I question the pedigree it's from experience and sweet .... all to do with "appearing cool".

Experience.... So you agree your judging this bivvy on past brollies... I am sure your bivvy manufacturer of choice has released a bad egg...

I'm not disagreeing there are problems Braders, but for the sake of a shelter costing the thick end of a grand, personally speaking, I'd prefer to just hold off and wait until it's been real life tested and demonstrated to be up to the task.
I'm still using a 30 year old Powerplus professional bivvy, and I'm not saying a bivvy has to last forever but you do expect value for money.

Who the hell is selling frontiers for a grand? I paid less than half that all in.

I paid 500 for the bivvy, skull cap and mozzi mesh which I think in comparison to he tempest bivvy is good value. I can confirm its absolutely fine with no leaks, so a good buy. Plus like I've said I prefer the design and features

I'm waiting to see feedback on these after they have been used for a while.I really like the look of them and I think I will get one if not too many issues occur

Do the plastic elbow joints feel strong and does water bead off the material like the old ventec

Footprint is just as good as the tempest bivvy as bedchair goes right the the back, elbow joints are very good actually, good quality and don't budge once joined, the block is a lot better than I was expecting, very solid.
Material is thicker than I was expecting and yes beads off nicely
The frontier x is noticeably taller than tempest bivvy which I like, especially for he the back lol...
The tempest is more pleasing on he eye and don't get me wrong it's a cracking bivvy but I wanted the flat back, pockets inside are useful, clip in groundsheet and more useable footprint.
The front can be left on without a door, I found this a bit of a faff to erect and take down, when you take it off its as quick to erect and take down as the tempest...
Obviously over time let's see how it goes but very happy and delivered exactly what I wanted...
