The nash Hog is a decent bit of kits mines 5-6 years old my Nash Canvas fits it like a glove and I have the Nylon winter skin for it as well.

However getting in and out of it when it's pissing down becomes a ball ache (as I head towards 50), although I think it's great I've been very impressed with the Titan T1

I think youve hit the nail on the head there ! I am partially disabled but have always had Nash up until the Fox R series 1 man xl as it was taller. I had been hunting for a replacement and loved the new T1 but at 135 tall it was not easy for me to use. Once again Fox seems to have come to the rescue ........ I initially ordered a Ridge Monkey XFF2 Compact, but it would have taken a lorry to get to the swim ! I think companies have to try to aim a market at the older/ disabled fisher persons. I wish Nash would produce a T1 XL version, it would be a winner !

Actually a joke:
Frontier 5 years in development and you get a skull cap that you have to fasten with velcro , even the Quest outerblock/Defier has a Skull cap with elastic adjustable strap with snap closure


If I tick all the requirements on my list then the Rcg Alpha x1 comes out as the best
-156 high Middle (door 148)
-inner capsule
-full overwrap
- new camo version soon
-Bigger than Frontier XD (even with Inner capsule)

They do, the T3 is huge and high but also heavy at about 24kg.

Im told by my local shop who is a large fox dealer that the bivvies are at port but waiting to be unloaded as there is a huge backlog of containers in all uk docks.

T3 £500 price is for the first version (first version had water issues) and I don't think you want that bivvy if you go fishing alone, lol good luck setting up on your own

Okay, so the latest on the Frontier from Fox is that due to "COVID" the retailers wont get the bivvies til mid December. This has really upset me as I now have to use my Sonik Brolly for 10 days in France as I sold my previous bivvy !!!! To say I am brassed off is an understatement !

Only yourself to blame selling your other bivvy. The companies have absolutely no control over when products are getting into the country at present
