The Xd is not a 2 man, maby for 2 hobbits, yes if you want you can get 2 beds in it (only without the inner capsule) but it is not comfortable and you have to put everything under your beds.

You can only place 2 adult bedchairs in the width, 2 bedchairs along each other in length is not possible
The Xd have 160/165 cm space from the back to the front along the entire length inside, with 2 beds placed width you wil have 10/15 cm space left on the front if you call that 2 man then My slx v3 plus is a 4 man bivvy

Belgium store (Lisarde)
They have the standard Frontier set up in the store, but the shop owner unpacked the frontier XD to see what it was like with all the tackle in it.

The height is 165. The floor pace is 270x210 so could easily get 2 in, I dont get the purpose of the inner dome as this makes it the size of the standard version which in my eyes defeats the point of going for the largest.

The YouTube video by fox shows two people in the XD and there's tonnes of space.

No it's not tones off space with 2 beds in it , Fox is also clear about it: We will not bring a Frontier 2 man on the market.

And the floorspace is not 270 x 210, the space inside on the flat sides is 160/165 perfect for a junior bed to set against the side, but you cannot put an adult bedchair against the sides

2 Bedchair only fit in the Xd if you place them in width, then you will have 10 / 20cm left at the front, comfortable? dont think so

Yes, the Yt shows 2 people (1 adult, 1 kid) but only 1 bedchair, look again and picture a 2nd bedchair, the bivvy will be almost completely filled and you will have almost no space for storage except under your bedchair, that i dont call a 2 man bivvy.

Has anyone got the frontier bivvy? Plenty with the larger ones.
Just want there review on size.
Currently got a V2 air and that size works for the swims at my lake.

Why don't you compare the dimensions of each, that should give you a good indication of size.

The problem with bivvies is that you can't compare them by the dimensions becouse off diffrent design

A Trakker tempest T100 is bigger on paper than the Frontier, but due to the flat back and flat side you have more inner space with the Frontier than with the T100.

That's my exact point.. the air is deeper but with less usable floor space because of the sloping headroom.
Ideally I don't want something too big to peg out but the frontier has the height

That's what I'm worried about.. I think I'll wait for the X..
Or just wait to see them all up in a shop when we can
