Is the X really larger than the V2 bivvy? I've got the V2 bivvy and find it massive so bought the V2 brolly and find that a bit cramped especially height wise. Was contemplating selling both and getting the X as I thought it might be somewhere between the V2 brolly and bivvy. I might have a look at the smaller Frontier instead

Would like to find somewhere that has them on display really to have a proper look

More useble space inside in the X due the flat back/side

-Posts 554 you can see my XD with inner capsule (same space inside as the X)

How does the compact compare to the tempest v2 after saying the fox x is larger

I've had my frontier x since beginning of yr. Have to to say I couldn't be happier with it, after seeing it 2 other lads on my syndicate have put orders in for one.
Only gripes are that I keep packing away leaving my receiver in one of the pockets, and I've had bivvys with thicker ground sheets, already seeing signs of a few pin ***** holes appearing

Wtb Frontier XD Social cap

Hope they bring it on the market would be ideal in hot summer days for my son and me so he can sit/play underneath it out of the sun.

I have packed the receiver away a couple of times ,luckily i remembered both times just before putting it in the bag ,
The groundsheet is at best medium, Not Heavy duty ., so i do expect to buy a new one sometime in the future ,other than that i cant fault it .

Clip in groundsheet sucks anyway, i'm going to get one custom made with elastic peg points soon, i'm also going to have a window in the door made with camo mozzy mesh option.

Those of you that have the standard frontier, how are you finding the room at the back for the bed? I have a Nash mf60 which is 212cm long, am I right in thinking the bivvy will be too tight for the bed? Thanks

At 4:46 he shows how much space you have in the standard Frontier with the Fox Flatliner bed this one is 215 long I hink

Youtube Frontier

But I would always recommend minimum the Frontier X it's only 260x198.5 a lot smaller than most 1 man bivvies but inside still a large footprint compared to many other 1 mans

I never remove the front when packing down i only keep the door unzipped, vapour peak can also stay on it but i always remove it, time to take the peak off and put it back on is minimal.
