Yeah I think the X is a good shout, I'm actually slightly concerned about getting this thing around to be honest but the lakes i fish are pretty small. Like I said I'll pop some pics n stuff here when I get chance and at least everyone can get a rough idea before buying.

I have the X and the bag is rather big, quite a bit longer than my 2 man I had before but I guess it's because youre only folding joints in half rather than in 4 like on my two man. It does state the pack down size online but im not that bothered as its only in the bag for transportation, up its half a meter small in width and length so considerably smaller once up.

I did think I was missing a clip on my groundsheet but I hadn't lined the groundsheet up correct inside so was slightly off, fixed it pretty quick.

I can't say I have ever looked at a bivvy and thought wow you're good looking.I guess if a good looking tent floats your boat then it takes all sorts

for me if i'm honest,the best looking brolly i saw
was when i first saw nash's original oval umbrella with the velcro all around the edge, and the infill panels which just velcroed to the umbrella
first time if i'm right a oval umbrella was sold ?
brought one as soon i as i saw it, bit of a game changer for me,
with the oval you got a bit more room sideways for the bedchair, up till then it was a nubrolly with nas sides or over wrap
then after that, the titan,

You see I don't like the looks of the nash T1, think its rather ugly. I do like the look of the new hides though. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions

Only an absolute noddy from noddyland would say such a thing and he has 14k+ posts therefore he's not exactly a Covid carping pleb, maybe a pleb, but that's beside the point. He's just looking for a reaction. I mean, “good looking” bivvy Only noddys would say something like that and really mean it.

I agree, hence why I said everyone has there own opinion? But if you have a choice between two bivvies after doing your research you'll choose the one you prefer the look of. Same applies with anything you buy
