Giant Bivvy recommendation (17 posts / 1,660 views)

Evening all

Hoping for some help!

I need to pick up a new bivvy for me, my wife, our stuff (she doesn't pack light) and most importantly our two (newly acquired) labradors that sleep in a cage almost as big as a camp bed.

Only thing I've found is the Fox R Series 2 man Giant, but everywhere seems to be out of stock. And it's massively expensive. I'm keen to buy new, as I've been burnt buying used before (everything is used once for a week in France, apparently).

Any other recommendations would be much appreciated, but I know big bivvies aren't fashionable right now.

Thanks in advance!

Ash

Perhaps the Lucx Bigfoot might be of interest: https://www.lucx-angelsport.de/en/lucx-bivvy-bigfoot-with-winterskin_861279_143766

I think you would need to pay import fees to get it into the UK, but the Lucx bivvies are reasonably priced so might be worth it.

The fox r series xl 2 man is massive, you can easily get you all in that. Might actually struggle getting it on some pegs tho

Have you considered one of the Trakker bivvy's/brolly's with the new social cap (when it hits the shops). Might give you the best of both worlds, if you ever go on your own.

I have a Lucx Leopard XL on route from Germany as we speak, I will keep the group informed as to what if any extra is charged for import. I have already paid German VAT{MWsT} so I don't think I have to pay our VAT, I will also update the group on this particularly large bivvy, it should be here by Mar 30....Wait Out!
Are you sure?
