Asking for a mate whose not on the forum. He's looking for a 2man bivvy that's relatively high as he's in his 60s and doesn't want to be hunched over in it. Not looking to break the bank but bivvies seem to be very expensive these days regardless.
Any recommendations based on experience. In recent years I've used a Tempest, M3 Compact and brollies which were all way too low and small for him apparently!
Cheers.

If he wants a tempest you can get taller versions now, I have the tempest 100T it's perfect for me and I'm 6ft 3

Fox R series xl. Suggest the one man unless he really needs a 2 man which is massive. And he won't need to sell a kidney.....

I've got a chub cyfish dome, very tall on the 2 man. I'm about 6ft and can stand with head bent over inside. I got it after having enough of rolling out of a tx2g
Not sure what is going on with chub, their 'new' website hasn't worked for me for over a month

Maybe have a look at something like the solar quick up shelter, loads of space and height and easy to put up.

Yep. I'm looking at the 100T as well. Out of interest, what bedchair do you use, I'm 6.4 and struggle with most brands. Tracker are a couple of cms longer than most but it's not ideal...

I recently got a 2 man Fox EOS Pro TT to use in winter, as my Cayman is too small when it's wet and my Tempest 200 is too big for just me.
First thing I was amazed with was the height, I'm 5'9 and can nearly stand up in it. It's not massive, as in you'd be tight with two bedchairs, but as a spacious one man it's spot on. Went up and down easy too even though it was my first attempt, and was solid in 40mph winds last week on the Tidal Trent.
Think it was about £210 from TFT.

I was thinking about getting one of these for when I take my daughter with me, it will literally be used about 2/3 times a year because she only goes in the warmer months and didn't want to spend to much on a bivvy that she can fit in aswell.
I use my tempest for when I go on my own but she won't fit in there with me unless she nicks the bedchair and I just sleep on my normal chair but I don't fancy that lol

You'll get two bedchairs in it ok. The material is relatively thin, but that also means it doesn't weigh an absolute ton. Big rear vents, good frame supports. I was actually surprised how well it took 40mph winds, I kept checking the pegs every now and then and not one had lifted at all.
It's well worth 200 quid. 👍🏻
