Looks like it has loads of headroom because there are no spokes like a brolley I was quite impressed by it but how long will that little wind up gadget last?. I think that's the real question

ive seen two videos of it. the claim that its out of the bag and up in 30 seconds . i would like to see that
as IMO getting it untangled, the material and poles all in place to go up that smooth will take more than 30 seconds
alone. ribs looked thin too.

Didn't greys do a wind up bivvy with a handle before? Agreed this looks a little flimsy.

they did. the Torsion it was called IIRC

if this JRC was about 299 , maybe worth a punt. but not at that price.

Did not realise it was £550 I would probably take a punt if it was around £300.

But the main picture shows a different bivvy.

I don't think they will sell many at that price and the market will dictate what they get knocked out for. But its like most fishing companies keep pushing the price then show how wonderful they are with a price reduction.

Just seen this, isn't it a direct copy of the greys one - at a similar price, but now a few years later the market will tolerate it wheres the greys one prices itself out the market at the time.

He's put it up and down more times in a year than an average carp angler would do in a lifetime - what a load of tosh! 🤣

it's actually probably the same one, as Greys and JRC are both part of the Pure fishing Group
