I love the tempest, I went for a titan years ago for the same reasons I've gone for the frontier but it was a faff to set up and take down so went back to the tempest for that reason, when the frontier came out I thought yep I fancy that and took the plunge, I put it up yesterday and it proved to be bang for what I want and knew straight away I liked it more than he tempest... As long as no issues going forward then happy days.... Plus second hand market is ridiculous at the moment and got good money for the tempest and had change after buying the frontier. Plenty of companies will offer 10% off minimum, I just took advantage of the black Friday discount at vale. Plus vale are competitive especially with fox products.
I'll keep you posted mate and will always post an honest review...

Sounds good doesn't it, I've just checked at Vale Angling, the XD with the inner dome, vapour peak, wrap and mossy screen is £1,059 all included.
I'm assuming the XD is the daddy size, so all being well, I'm penning one in around May this year.

Does anyone know if the overwrap extends the bivvy at all

Yeah xd is the daddy, no bigger than the tempest v2 bivvy apart from height... Personally not a fan of the inner dome... Think you can get some discount off a few if you give them a ring... Vale as below

Good call that, hopefully give a few bob discount with a decent order. With regard to the inner dome, does this significantly reduce the internal area?
I'm assuming its purpose is to reduce condensation inside the inner shell?

The inner dome according to fox will reduce the Xd to the size of the x internally

I'll.wait and see.on those joints. Looks like it's weakest link.
All in all, it does look like it ticks all the boxes, good colour, good height, got pockets, a clip on the ceiling, good sizing.
I think Fox will shake up the market with this bivvy.

Rightly or wrongly, I had no hesitation on the block or the joints. Purely based on the fact that fox have had a very long field testing process in that department in the form of the easy domes and evo shelters. I'm sure they've learnt what works and doesn't with them? Now if only Vale would hurry up and post me mine 😭
