Okey.

Need to buy a new Bivvy.

Need to take two standard bedchairs. Dont need that much space for other items.

Must have innercapsule of some sort.

At least as ”Quick” as a pramhood, to set up.

Going to use it 10 nights a year.

Had a Trakker SLX V3 One man. Nice for that price.... but i like the setup time with my Tempest Brolly much more 😂

Any thoughts? Was Thinking of Titan T2 but it is pricey!!!

Powerplus nothing beats it. Hard to come by though.

No longer in production need to keep an eye out for a second hand one rare as but absolutely worth it. Took me three year to get my hands on one but by far the best Bivvy around imho.

I have a Titan T1 which is heavier and offers less space and certainly doesn't do two bed chairs. The PP is an awesome bit of kit. Contacts army Andy put the feelers out Hunt one down defo a win. Cost wise I'd pay £500 for one nowadays they would fetch £1000 new surprised companies haven't cottoned on, an updated one which is actually hard to do as the last ones in the range are technically superb with reflective doors and mid panel zips outshone anything trakker's ever made. It's a serious bit of kit a session Bivvy 2 days upwards although a joy even for 1 day.

People are in ore when they see it as said the best 2 man Bivvy ever made I can stand up right in mine although I'm average height along with having a double stove in the porch when the weather is harsh.

Good hunting.

I've got a Trakker Tempest Advanced 150, and I'm not sure if you would get 2 bedchairs in it if you also have the inner capsule.

I think these are just shy of £800, plus another £140 for the inner capsule.

There's probably cheaper bivvies out there that are better suited to for 2 bedchairs.

Edit - TFT are doing the Solar - SP Quick Up Shelter for £249, and they say it will take 2 bedchairs.

Nash double top 2 man, fits the bill. Half the price of the tempests at around £4-500

It also takes twice the time to set up the double top compared to the Slx V3

For me it would be an Armo every time, JR were doing a great deal on the two man.

My Trakker slx v3 plus setup time timed was: 3 min 48 sec, dont think a Tempest is alot faster to setup
Double top was 7min 44 sec and pain in my back...

Armo V4 2 man/plus is a top choice

I would up the anti and go Nash Double Top mk4 Giant. I don't care what people think or say about Nash I have one of them and absolutely love it. Good enough build quality and once up very sturdy. Had mine out in 60mph winds no problem and kept me dry in torrential rain. You can pretty much stand upright inside of it if under 6ft height. Ample space for 2 wideboy chairs. Main entrance with letterbox style or standard door entry. 3 Way front panel between material, plastic window or mozzie net. 2nd skin with mozzie front. Little bit of porch for bait/food and on my own I can set it up fully pegged from bag under 10 minutes.

Awesome bit of kit, shame discontinued now. I have seen them new go for under £450 with 3rd winter skin which is really a bargain if you consider what you are getting for the money
