Oh come on. Are you really trying to convince me that they have taken ideas from designs they've made before yet mysteriously looks exactly the same as a Tempest? Pure coincidence, nothing to see here

Wasn't it Titan, Pioneer then the Fox number?

By the way, I'm still rocking a carbon compact. The Tempest I mentioned earlier does look interesting

Surely it looks as much like the titan and
Explorer as it does the Tempest. Personally I dont
Buy any fox stuff. I have no allegience to them.
I agree blatent copies are rife in angling.

However I feel in this case with the crappy plastic knees
Like the evo compact, the explorer type spreading hub
And the evo type click in front poles they have
Bastsrdised their own kit and made something that's aesthetically similar to the best selling family of bivvies.

Which judging by the response has worked.

I had a fox explorer. Heavy bivvy that but a cracking bit of kit

Your right though. A Titan has got to be the first that I am aware of with the block system. Had an original Hi top too

Trakker had the armadillo, pram hood, wasn't this their first tent?

A bit of digging. The Nash Titan came out in 1993. That predates the pioneer by many years.

I take your point where both the tempest and the new fox thing borrow their ideas from. The point I was making was the immediate look of foxes frontier looking identical to trakkers bivvy

Where the skullcap hooks onto looks a weak point, time will tell on that front.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
