The narration was cringeworthy 😂

Just watched the video. Actually think it looks good, bit pricey though.
It'll probably have its haters, but it looks like a lot of thought has gone into the design, with some unique features.
Some people have said that it has copied the tempest, but if that's the case, then surely the tempest copied the Titan.

Yes, thought so too. Fox is the Apple of the fishing brands.

Ive always thought the tempest is a titan with a pioneer block. 75% Titan and a rejigged easier to use
Pioneer block.

Looks like it has some very good features, nothing not to like at this point.

Every company has bivvies that are a similar design
but nice to see a few slightly different tweaks like the wet weather vent and the blackout lining

What an awful video, more cheese on that than a triple cheese pizza with a stuffed crust......the guys monotone voice is as dull as dishwater....

It's a massive no from me just for the claims in the video alone, do Fox think we are all stupid.....5 years in development my arse, more like 5 minutes to email a picture of a Tempest/Titan/Typhoon to some geezer in China saying, "do us a mash up of this pal".....they are taking us for mugs, complete arrogance....

The material looked crap, not even slightly beading up when wet, far too much plastic that will soon go brittle and crack and any shelter that comes supplied with storm guide ropes screams unstable....

Some nice touches on these, not sure about that block long term though. Also they look heavy, I'll take a guess at 7kg stripped back for the small one lol

They weigh about 4,5 kilo.

Indeed the material doesn't bead the water, that worried me a bit.

Getting up around FudgeMonkey money by the time you've bought all the add ons for the XD, £689 with inner capsule then add mozzy mesh vapour peak and winterskin comes in at £1060.00 notes might get it a bit less when shops mark down on the RRP.
