Anyone heard anything?

My local shop have told me it was mid November, then mid December now it's gone to TBC on the fox system?

Please don't let this become a “why would you want the piece of sh....t anyway” type thread.

Cheers

Ring fox ask them for a shipment date 0208 559 6500 that's what I have found best when wanting to know when something is going to be in the shops

if they are anything like the latest fox bivvies I would avoid the material on the latest fox bivvies seems crap I have repaired loads where the pegging points have ripped the material seems really thin and weak, fox either need to use better material or re-enforce the way they attach the pegging points.

I have repaired loads of the fox royal over the last few months. I have also replaced loads of fox zips as they are not much better

Interesting!

I did say I didn't want this thread to turn into a fox bashing thing but that evidence is hard to ignore.... might just go for the Nash T1?

Thanks

If the hobbit height of the T1 is not a problem go for it

I'll wait for the first users reviews before deciding on the Frontier

The T1 isn't hobbit height at all.....at 140cm it is one of the taller 1 man shelters on the market.

T100: No inner capsule, no full overwrap, no Thx

To be fair, Fox Frontier has it all, (Not that everyone needs it)

-High
-Inner capsule
-Full overwrap
-Quick erect
-Windows that you can open from the inside
-Skull cap

- The only point of doubt is the quality for which we will have to wait for user info.

On paper the frontier does have it all, that's why I ordered one.

Guess I will have to be patient and wait until March which isn't an issue.
