ive had a few over the years and i finally plunged and bought a tempest composite last year when AD were flogging then stupidly cheap

Best decision I ever made bivvy wise, light, really easy to put up and plus the extra's available make it very versatile,

If you do not need the mozzie windows, door or rear vents then look at the brolly or composites as you will save money compared to the bivvy itself.

John maybe we are being a bit unfair ? maybe they have improved them since they came out ??

AS TRUST ME they were a total pile of poo with lots of people having them destroyed while on the bank in the middle of big storms !!

this video gives you an idea LINKY POO

just to let everyone know, greg phoned them up and they sent him replacement poles, these then broke again, so they sent him a completely new bivvy, and as far as i know he hasnt had any problems with it since.
good points= great customer service

I've just bought a Tempest advanced which is quick and easy to set up. This is to replace my Fox 60inch super brolly because from day one I found it a pain to erect. I think the R system is similar.
Mind you I'm old with crocked knees

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
