Yes but no good if using a ground sheet.

How tall are you bud I'm 6ft 3 so don't want to be having to worry about banging my head.
As for the v2 air for me it's either the bivvy system because of the vents which makes life a lot easier or the brolly, only because if I'm not getting the vents which is the only reason I'd get bivvy system and extra size then why look further than the brolly tbh and from what I'm led to believe on the air v2 the front panel is not zip in?

Yes that would be great thank you mate, I love the idea of the brolly but might have to just get the bivvy system

Have you had any problems with your v2 bivvy system? Been looking into and a few people moaning saying the build quality isn't that great? That true?

No I haven't but I have seen first hand the problems on some other people's. One in particular that has stood out to me was the stitching around the door. It seemed like the front was too tight and the stitching was pulling apart. So much so that you could see daylight all around the door. Was the first thing I checked when I got mine. There have defo been some issues with them over time, whether or not that is still the case I don't know. I have 2 mates who also have the v2 bivvy and they too have no issues.
If you decide on buying one just give it a good once over when you get it.

No That's true. As already mentioned, If you haven't already, have a look on Army Andys site on FB, there's loads of pics on it, reason I asked about the air is that he does vents and a zip in front for it too.
