After looking for a new bivvy for several months and reading reports on most current models available and being a big trakker fan for all my luggage it seemed only inevitable really I'd go with a trakker Bivvy .. being honest i'd not even considered fox .. after looking at all options rightly or wrongly and reading this thread I have actually gone with the Frontier X . But it's one thing deciding another actually finding the thing.. eventually I found just 1 Frontier X online at a price of £499.00 delivered... I've just had confirmation of Delivery Wednesday... fingers crossed but I'm confident this will be the correct choice ... being 100% honest 1 thing put me off the camo mozzi finish ... I've never had anything Camo in 45 years+ on the bank... cheers all for a great informative thread..

I also got the X for the same price. Hopefully you won't be disappointed, my brother has a trakker and the only think putting him off was the pack down size, being bigger than his. Obviously no one can vouch for the durability of it lomg term but that seems to be the only question from owners so far.

Picture with some dimensions of the Frontier Xd that I bought today



2 things I don't like:

-Velcro everywhere (my finger is already bleeding )
- Clip in groundsheet.

For the rest top bivvy alot of space for 1 man, 1 man with child ( junior bed)
2 bechairs is possible but it is not a 2 man bivvy

Very strong and thick cloth, very easy to put up/take down (find it easier to set up/break down than my previous Quest Tacke defier)

Very dark inside

-Inner Capsule is not necessary imo, Vapor peak not sure if I buy it (maybe only for summer) Overwrap I buy 100%.
Overwrap can be done just as quickly as the Vapor peak (think even faster)

-Height in the middle: 163cm
-Width inside @ front: 267cm
-Inside width @ back: 235

Lol I agree with the velcro, guess it's to make everything look tight and stop stuff flapping about in the wind. Hopefully with time the velcro will soften and won't ruin your fingers
