Currently use a tempest brolly but looking to upgrade to a bivvy that is taller and has room to accommodate a wide boy bed chair, looking to spend up to 600ish, any help is appreciated

Sonik AXS Xl bivvy similar design to the tempest brolly it's very spacious 1 man bivvy with plenty of room for wideboy bedchair and loads of space to spare well below your budget around £300 plus you can buy a vapour cap for it to reduce condensation for around £60

I would take a look at the Prologic SLR. Really good spec and features given as standard. Can't remember the member but someone gave it a really good review on here. I've got the South Westerly Uni Spider and considering to get rid of for the Prologic as not overly impressed, and I'm normally a big fan of Solar gear

I thought the new Avid bivvy looked pretty good, might be worth a look.

Don't buy any sonic axs until you measure the footprint in your garden.

I am im the same boat mate. Love my brolly, but want a darker thicker material and slightly more room. Ive considered the uni spider, and thinking about the avid exo+, but at the same time, keep going back to trakker, the 100 or 150 bivvy. I know the tempest system, and have no complaints, so why not stick with it. Sure you could get into a 100 bivvy with skull cap for your budget if you shop around

I really like the look of this. I currently have a Titan T1 and Tempest 100 Brolly Aquatexx. I'm thinking of selling my Trakker and replacing it with the Exo+. It looks like it ticks all the boxes for me. I'll see what the real-world reviews are like once people start using it.

I have a Fox Frontier X+ and really recommend it.

Great amount of space in a compact footprint thanks to the flat back. Has every little feature and detail you could wish for and comes complete with all the accessories you'd want. Best thing for me is the blackout material, really thick and so stops light getting into the bivvie. Only other bivvie that does that is the Ridgemonkey - but they weight about 30kg.

I use the frontier X but wouldn't if it didnt have a power barrow. Heavy.
Not without issues too.
Are you sure?
