Is the the basic frontier? I saw that on there.
Looks too narrow for a bedchair, I've seen 2 on YouTube and the bedchairs are touching the side

It was.. and there's me thinking why he wants to sell it 😂
I really like these but it'll have to be the frontier X for that reason or the new Nash hide XL (if they do it in green, not that bird **** camo)

I can assure you the X 100% has no issue with a bigger bed in .. i don't get why anyone would by the bigger one then put a capsule in that takes it down a size or slightly more .. then probably add aa wrap how many bloody layers do people need ??

It was the standard one that the bedchair was touching not the x model.

Got my innner capsule and vapor peak today, can still get my bedchair and junior bed in it with an extra chair in the front and space for 3 bags behind my bedchair.

Reason why I wanted the XD and the inner capsule, I got an autoimmune disease from mosquitoes and also use Immunosuppressant medication so have to be extra careful an inner capsule is a must for me, that's why I was immediately happy when I saw the Frontier XD, even with the inner capsule it is high inside, you really don't lose much space at the sides/back/front

I bought vapor peak for when it rains without there is no cap that collects the water at the front, will probably always use the vapor peak even when it is not raining

I will soon buy the overwrap also for when I go winter fishing again.

Frontier is alot higher.

Footprint inside will be roughly the same between the XD and the Tempest 150
So you have 1 a higher bivvy and 2 a bivvy that is only 270cm wide vs Tempest 150 which is 315 wide.

There is a photo, think on fb with Frontier and Tempest groundsheet on top of each other, you can see that the Frontier which is less wide outside still gives a lot of space inside due to the flat/high sides and back

in a Tempest, you should actually use a Oval bedchair, these are specially made to create extra space in your Tempsest, with a normal bed it's ridiculous how much space you lose with V shape bivvy models.

Don't get me wrong I would also be happy with a Tempest, but I am even happier that there is finally a 1.5 man bivvy on the market that is high and has a door height of 143 cm

If the weather is good this weekend I will make a photo series of my XD with inner capsule with bechair and measure everything.

Now we all know Fox's reputation so I am also afraid to wait and see how long the Frontier will last, we are already talking about a bivvy that has cost me €838 (€1067 with overwrap) , but from what I have seen so far of quality it's very good.

Thanks for taking time to explain they are very expensive carp fishing has gone mad with prices I hope that no one has any problems at that price I didn't like the plastic joints on the legs and the way it clicks in at front be worried about it breaking on the fox tbh

Interesting, I was surprised to see the Titan t1s in various guises on the bay. obviously taking a hit I wonder if it's to the financially changing/challenging circumstances that people are facing as opposed to the quality of the product rather than quality of product.


Either way it's a concern

Would never think the Titan t1 as quality it's at a quality price like a lot of inflated priced carp tackle I think your right it's the COVID people are not spending like they were as I've always said if people don't buy they will have no choice but to drop the price looks like it's been done for us looks like the gravy train might be over

Was bored and put the Frontier in the living room , will return the inner capsule because it is unnecessary for me, have a Samsung S20 pro turned on the flashlight and placed it on the canvas on the outside you don't see any light through the canvas on the inside

I'm going to keep Vapour peak with velco on sides/back it's is ver fast to take off, and it is an upgrade for when it rains, for against sunlight unnecessary


Are you sure?
