Resurrected again lol, Can anyone tell me if there is much of a difference from the Mk1 Bloxx Compact bivvy to the 2G version? Cheers

Anyone use the shelter version. User opinions?

I got the compact bloxx version 2 bivvy in the sales.
It was this one or the wychwood tactical, only reason I didn't get the tactical was it didn't have multiple front pegging points. So if your swim isn't level you would have problems pegging it down properly.
For the price I cant complain, I needed vents and a zip in panel.
It's well made but fairly compact (bedchair just off the sides and very little room at the front) but better head room compared to my v2.
I've got the wrap which makes it a nice size due to the front porch.
For a shelter which you've asked about I would recommend it, doesn't weight much and it's a nice pack down length compared to say a brolly.

I'd be looking at just the shelter no zip in panel. Is it quite stable even without the front panel

Anyone use the shelter version. User opinions?
This is an old thread. My Bloxx is still in use some 4 or 5 years after I got it. The velcro is still OK on the peak (I haven't shortened the poles either).
It doesn't leak. It has faded a bit but it does spend a lot of time outside.
Worst issue was mouse damage on the front which I got repaired - not a fault though is it?
Take the front off of it and it is solid.
It has been superb.
