I've never owned one before, but I can tell you now, if there's any dodgy stitching on what's heading to me, it won't be with me very long.

Did you notice the stitching faults before they popped? You were full of praise for it before it broke.

Fault was on the inside in 2 places there was no double stitching but you couldn't see that on the outside, this was clearly a factory fault.

My new Frontier Xd also has a few other things eg on the window where you can put the elastic through the hole now has a metal ring my previous Xd didn't have this

I had a result on Friday and won a Frontier X plus the vapour peak on one of those competition websites
Supposed to be being sent out tomorrow and should be with me on Thursday. Hopefully I'll give it a go at the weekend but if anyone has any questions or wants pics etc I'll try to help

Talked myself into getting one of these but I've just seen the camo version so will be waiting for them to hit the shops

Obviously being limited edition there is a premium to pay 🙄

That's a bargain isn't it, thick end of £900 for the XD without the inner capsule or the overwrap

Given the choice again I'd still buy the plain one.

I'm chuffed with mine, only used it the once but goes up quickly, appears to be well built and does everything I want it to. Has a couple of nice touches like phone pockets built in. It was dry when I used it so can't comment on how it copes with bad weather but I've got no reason to suspect it would have any issues. I've got the vapour peak but didn't bother fitting this and did have some light condensation so will probably use it in future.
Mine is the X version and I won it in a competition but if I was buying myself I'd probably opt for the XD. The X isn't too small it just I like lots of room - was contemplating buying a 2 man bivvy before I won this one.

Are you sure?
