I am looking for something which might not exist...
I got a wychwood tactical bivvy with the intention of using it as a 1 man in winter, and 2 man in summer (using the wrap - 2 beds front to back on each side)
having a big boat, which I also want to store in the bivvy at night, I was looking for another option which I can use year round, must be tempest / frontier / titan style for ease of set up and pack down, must be able to take a bed front to back each side and still have a bit of room between.
I looked at the tempest 200 but it looks maybe a bit too big.
Is there anything else that might fit the bill?
cheers

Hi VLT
It won't be the Frontiers as they aren't deep enough. And I doubt the
150 Tempest either. However with social caps or extensions
They will work. But then you might as well get the Tempest 200
I have a Cayman 2 man that will just fit two like you require when using the wrap
And that's tight.
I know zero about Titans

Hiya, Vince. Tempest 100 with a social cap? It gives another metre plus of space at the front and allows 2 bedchairs side by side. Lots of places doing deals on the social caps at the moment.
I have one. Use the bivvy for overnighters/short sessions. Bivvy plus social cap for long/french trips.

Can you resize the pic Paul?
HEIGHT='500' WIDTH='500' should be good

Hi Vince,
You asked about the Tempest 200. I have one with the inner capsule and it's a really comfortable bivvy space wise. I'd get 3 wideboy bedchairs in mine no worries. I really only keep mine for when the misses decides to come along.
However, I also have the Frontier XD with the overwrap, and I'd easy get two beds front to back on either side. I take my compact SB3 BB along on some of my trips and that goes in with no issues along with tons of other stuff. I must admit I take the kitchen sink with me and with or without the wrap the XD swallows the lot.
Even minus the wrap and just the vapour peak it's still an incredible bit of kit. The zippable windows on hot summer days are magic. I love mine, it suits every scenario I can think of and if you wanted to push the boat out you can even get the gazebo extension for them now.

Does the wrap have a peak and therefore extend depth?

Yes it has the 3 peak push in bars on the front and It easily adds a few feet to the depth, I can put a chair, rucksack, bait buckets etc in that extra gap, or take out the zip in front from the bivvy itself and drop the wrap on you are easy 2-3 feet deeper. Bed chair on either side then.

Sounds ideal, nice one

Right. That's what I was thinking. As I have a 2man Cayman
It's 230 deep and with two beds the wideboy pushes the front out.
Smaller bed is ok. How wide your bed is makes a big difference when two are side
By side.
