Seems like it's a choice between
The Titan hide, small, compact, sleeping bag touches the side and the lowest H head
Tempest 100 who's build quality is utter ***** no doubt
Or the fox compact, 20,000mm H head that weighs a ****ing ton
Think I'm will wait for the Mk 17

I gave up waiting for the Frontier
Bought a Sonik AXS instead
Saved me over £300 and what a great bivvy!

How are people that managed to get one of these getting on with them ?

Amazing bit of kit, had out in torrential rain and no issues. Strong and stable, easy to put up and take down, pockets inside really useful... Internal space is spot on...

Love mine, useable space is excellent, I have the x and it's ideal, nice height, had it out in some awful weather and it's been faultless, just don't forget to get your car keys out the little pocket before packing it up 😂😂

To be fair they're only in the early stages of field testing.

Can only echo what's already been said, really good bit of kit. I spent a week in May under mine in weather that can only be described as a compete wash out. Torrential rain almost every day. It performed brilliantly. I always thought the pockets and groundsheet flap were just gimmicky selling points but have to say I was wrong. They are genuinely useful.
I came from having owned a tempest v2 bivvy for years so here is a little comparison for anyone who may be interested.
The frontier x is larger and heavier to carry, there's no denying that. The tempest is definitely more portable.
The tempest is faster to set up. We're not talking a huge difference but it is definitely a bit quicker.
The tempest is also easier to put up. It fans out easier and doesn't require as much tension to assemble.
The quality of the Frontier is better, imo, in pretty much every way. The fabric is street's ahead of the tempest, feels thicker, no visable imperfections in the coating from inside like there was with my tempest. It's also much darker under the frontier.
The frontier has so much more usable space, and headroom. Considering the footprints are so similar, the frontier gives so much more usable floor space in front of the bedchair. If I don't take my pooch with me, the bivvy feels empty.
For me, the frontier is the better bivvy. Unless set up time and weight is everything to you, I don't think anyone would be disappointed coming from a tempest to the frontier. Well worth the small sacrifices for me. Much comfier for a long session and also perfect for short sessions if you don't use all the added extras.
