Why what is wrong with the block or are you just guessing it will have issues based on your expert opinion

If it leaks at the block the MK2 will have material over it with
A velcro panel. I'm off to the patent office.

T1 and pio 100 are both smaller bivvies than the xd so pointless comparison unless trying to compare quality but the titan and pioneer are proven designs. Fox produced some great bivvies in the past so let's hope this one is a return to those days.

I have compared mainly in terms of quality.
Compare to the Pioneer 100 was with the Pioneer 150 in mind (only 100 in shop) and T1 camo is 275 cm x 197 cm so no big difference vs XD 270 x 210, although the difference is big inside
Not so sure if T1 is proven quality, have seen many with problems
In Belgium we are allowed to fish on private waters at night (first night will be next weekend).

It was a tongue in cheek comment hence the silly smiley.
I hope it's robust design and lasts, I did see the Fox video and thought it might be the weak link however the Bivvy does look well thought out. I purchased the T1 as although I don't need another Bivvy I've fancied one for sometime. It's not perfect and I want to re enforce the inner capsule clipping points with some gorilla tape. And I'm still waiting for two rear poles as the rivets where not satisfactory, that will get sorted in due course. Like my others bivvies id hope to get 15-20 years out of the T1.

15-20 years,im lucky if I keep a bivvy for 15-20 months.I just can't honestly find a bivvy I'm 100% happy with so I'm hoping these do stand upto bad weather and the block is robust

Have you had an Armo?
Armo for camping, Tempest Brolly for fishing. The Armo has done about 8 years and the brolly 3 and not a bother with each so far.

I had a trakker armo when first did the aquatexx version,what a pile of **** that was.I had an aqua m2 think it was that had no peak then had the m3 which is still my favourite bivvy.I now have a tempest v2 bivvy which ticks alot of boxes,it just feels so tight when set it up that it worries me it is going to rip

Just wanted a bit more usable space inside and the tempest bivvy gives me that

Frontier gives even more space
The block on the frontier doesn't seem to be under the tension like the tempest, just see how the clip holds out, this would be my guess that is what will go first in these

Took my Frontier X out for a test ,yesterday
Total weight with Vapour peak ,ground sheet pegs ect in the bag came in at 16.6 Kg.
It fits a Nash SS3 Wide with around 6 inches clearance at both ends.and plenty of room inside .
Clipping the arms in is relatively straightforward , taking apart does make you feel like you may bend them , but i didnt, how long the boss will last clipping them in and out (wear and tear) ,who knows .
All in id say well made and an excellent bivvy .

The left and right poles shouldn't be an issue as they just sit in a groove rather than properly click in to place. My only concern is the centre one that clicks in to place but touch wood it'll be fine.

Better check with the supplier as there's likely to be a few Frontiers at the bottom of the ocean.
