Isnt every new model of bivvy a tester? New materials, new manufacturing processes etc. And there's far more expensive bivvies out there.

It can be put through its paces for years but it's when it becomes mass produced issues occur.Would you prefer to buy a bivvy that's been used for a year by one of the companies anglers then still pay full whack for it as its been tested.

Would I wait a year to see if one of the sponsored anglers have problems so they can rectify it? Yes of course I would
They have no quality control. I won't go on about fox as they do some good stuff but I've had 2 ultras and both was crap. Forgot quality control, the build quality was that of what I'd expect of a 10 yr old

Unfortunately most bivvies/brollies have issues,like I said once it becomes mass produced.I have had more issues with Trakker bivvies than any other make but I now have a v2 tempest bivvy that's spot on.Its crazy how expensive some of these shelters are getting without the quality to justify it

Not just bivvies, look at some of the off the shelf rod prices at £500+,reels at £600+ but no matter how much the manufacturer hypes up the product one fact will never change, a good angler with mediocre kit will always be more successful than a mediocre angler with all the best kit.

It's stuff mass produced in China. Of course there can be quality control issues when it's mass produced. Do you really expect fox to open up every shelter that comes though, and check it over, and the weather test it. It's a risk we take when buying stuff. Yes it's inconvenient, but it happens in all industries producing stuff in China.
There was a thread about an issue with a dymag net the other month, and everyone jumped to their defense about it. An issue with a hand made piece is worse in my mind as it should have been caught when being made.
Everyone just needs to chill a bit and see this stuff for what it is. You could wait a year, to buy one after the first 2 shipments are spot on. The 3rd shipment could have issues. Waiting won't avoid any potential issues.

Of course that's correct. However it's human nature to want nice, better, even more aesthetically pleasing things and if you're fortunate enough to be able to afford it why not.
As others have said, when buying mass produced stuff from China, there is no guarantee the next shipment will be better than the last.
