Does it have additional poles to put in? I read somewhere there was 5? I'm torn between this and the sonik axs bivvy

After seeing the tactical bivvy set up, I was that impressed that I sold my tempest V2 bivvy and bought one.
I must have had every bivvy on the market over the past 20 odd years, and this is probably the best so far!
It's very lightweight at around 5kg (excluding groundsheet), goes up quickly, utilises the footprint perfectly due to the square shape and flat sides (comparable to oztent or ridgemonkey) so the bedchair is tight against the back panel leaving loads of room. It has excellent rear vents, is very stable, and quite tall which is handy for us with dodgy backs! Best of all is the quality, the material is second to none, especially after using the over rated aquatexx on my past few bivvy's.
Massive thumbs up from me 👍

My hog has four clips and then Velcro for the majority of the ground sheet align and it settles no drama

I like the look of these, only thing that put me off was the depth as use a wide bed. Anyone use a wide with it?

Depth is 180, typical "wide" bed is what, 95cm....so you do the maths! With the bed flat against the back you will have as much space again at the front of it and as the roof of the bivvy slopes upwards it will feel even bigger.

Like the look of this. Nice compact footprint.
Surprised people aren't ripping it to shreds - most Bivvies \ Brollies are far too big and WIDE these days.

So the bivvy is 250quid without a door OR 290quid with the clear & mozzy door Why not sell the bivvy with a clear door as standard, with the mozzy door as optional ? A bivvy should have a door, whereas a shelter doesn´t
Are you sure?
