Just seen the price on these two items.
Nice to see some very fair prices compared to others out there at the moment who just want to pull our trousers round our ankles.

I'm in the market for a new bivvy this year and will be definatly looking at these two.

Agree on Wychwood's pricing, seems fair. Also worth mentioning Sonik's new AXS range of shelters, from memory - brolly £140, Shelter £170 and bivvy £270 I think, certainly don't appear to be having peoples pants down

Nice to see these companies charging the right price £250 to £300 is well enough for a bivvy i see aqua roving camo rucksack other day it's £30 dearer than the green one absolute rip off

Tried to look at the wychwood website to take a look at this bivvy. I'm sure it's a great bit of kit but their website is awful. It doesn't do any of their products any justice. All I could find was one front on picture. No pics of side or rear profile. Nothing to give a height comparison. No set up video etc etc.

Come on wychwood. In this day and age that's poor. Not everyone uses face book. There's no doubting their gear is quality and always fairly priced. But on the promotional side they are really falling behind the curve. That's what richworth did and look where it got them. ESP and Gardner are similar sized trusted brands and look at the quality of their videos and websites etc.

Agree fully with that, the D Ploy bivvy they released was a thing of beauty, I bought one and hardly used it as I found it just too nice to use properly Didn't stay on sale long though which was a shame as the materials used, JAG designed block etc meant it was a great bivvy
