Fox R Series XL was a big fail bivvy series, there is even a shop here that has stopped selling it and brought back its stock.

The funny thing about the xl 1 man is 295 x 235 and I don't get a bedchair + junior bed in it, Frontier Xd is smaller on the outside and I get a bedchair + junior bed in it

I really fancy the XD but having watched a few videos on YouTube it looks like the bag is huge. I have a Titan T1 at the moment but I hate the bag being so big. With that on the top of my barrow it doesn't leave much room for my rods and sends the balance all out.

Does anyone know how the 2 compare or even better have side by side pics.

Bag is indeed big: 155 x 26 x 26, but it doesn't bother me because everything goes in easily.

Thanks. I'll measure the T1 in the morning to see how it stacks up.

I have the X and must say the bag is very big, the only negative I have of the bivvy so far. Hopefully that is the only negative ill have!

For years we have anglers complaining that the carry bags supplied with bivvies are too small and once you have unrolled a bivvy from new it is a real b*gger to get it back in the bag.
Some manufacturers listen and provide spacious bags that are easy to use and will hold ancillary gear like storm poles and wraps. Top marks Nash and it seems Fox as well.
But no, not good enough because "it doesn't look good on my barrow." or "it looks like a body bag" along with "the black finish on my banks sticks wore off, I won't be using that company again."
Gordon effing Bennett.
I want info on the product with regard to carp angling not a review of the models on the runway at the latest international carp couture soiree.

Assume you haven't got spinners and neon under lighting on your barrow then? Get with the times mate. Send me your waders and I'll bedazzle them for you. You'll soon change your mind

With regard to bivvy lighting I may well be ahead of the game. Was gifted a set of caravan awning lights with power pack, remote including dimmer. 4 x 12ins tubes and plenty of cable. Wouldn't have bought it at £300 plus including power pack but on long sessions in the Titan it's great. Apart from the power pack it packs down into a hard tube about 3 ins x 18 ins and weighs about 500gm.
The self guiding anti coot/tufty turret fitted to the barrow with AI radar guidance package for drones and stealth bait boats with laser and ultrasound weapons has had to go.
Just too heavy at 600kg. The deterrent alarm system remains classified at this time.

I agree the large bags brilliant and hated squeezing them back into undersized bags. My point was that with a big bivvy on the top of the barrow it makes it hard to also get the rod bag on there too. Maybe it's my barrow or way I'm loading it but nothing to to with looks. The Tesco bags hanging from the side see to that.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
