Great to see some pics thanks for posting, looks like a cracking bit of kit, were they right about the pack down length of 1750 Gerry?

Set mine up for the first time yesterday Gerry, something seems off on the setting out of the spokes as the one once up distorts and bends I noticed the guy in the video does the same, I have emailed WW but no reply as yet.

I had a response from Wychwood Gerry regarding the brolly spokes and he assured me it is ok and as it should be as it is a seven spoke/rib design that looks unconventional at the Boss, (still not convinced) but he assured me it is fine.
POST 8 Re: The bivvy
Pack down size without measuring which I can when I get home later is approximately 1400/1500mm in length the bag is about 250x250 in width and height, certainly plenty of room in the bag I'm not fighting to get it back in there along with the support bars, clear door panel, ground sheet and pegs.

Those spokes looked to me to be a tiny bit over tensioned
Hopefully not an issue

Paul it is on the one spoke in my opinion as well, when you see it up close it just looks wrong, the boss has eight slots which seven are for the spokes and the other is where they have twisted the steel wire around the boss and tucked it in so as not to damage anything but it looks like this should of been swapped over, I noticed the lads in Gerrys linked video looked the same I posted it to the wychwood FB page in the Tactical brolly post and the response they gave on there they said it looks strange as it is a 7 rib brolly but is perfectly fine.

Wychwood said the clear doors will work Gerry its the infill panel thats wrong as in it doesn't have the 4no two way zips the clear panel only needs the two zips.
I've got a feeling all this first batch of zip in panels are wrong as they said they are ordering 100 new ones and having them air freighted as soon as they're ready they will send them out.

Just an update Wychwood emailed me yesterday regarding the issue with the front infill panel not having the double zips for letterboxing the door they now have the new correct ones in, just had to send a contact and proof of purchase emailed back within minutes to say it will be with me Friday/Monday so no complaints from me kept to their word cannot fault them and thankfully the weather hasn't even turned that bad yet.

Looking at the position of the spokes in conjunction with the taped seam on the material it definitely needs to be moved to the left on the upper and lower spoke fixings on the central boss deffo not correct
