Thanks for the useful info so far.

Any more insights?

I think it looks smart in "Desert camo" Shame there's not many lakes in the desert, Beach Bivvy?

And as for the customer service, even worse

Nasty clash with those blue pegs though.

I've said for a couple of years that I think Aqua are finished as a brand. It only survives as Trakker trade off of its reputation from when it was actually a quality company, making brilliant gear and run by Chris manifold.

Name one product that aqua have made in the last five years that's better than any offering from another manufacturer?

Bivvys - no. You can buy the same gear from cyprinus from the same factory for half the price. Or a rehash of an old design that's bettered by the tempest anyway.
Luggage - no. Cotswold. Thinking anglers. Speero. Probably Korda all better.
Rods - no.
Mats/slings etc - no. Better available from the likes of Gardner/esp.

Apart for fanboys. What's the point of aqua these days?

Nash titan, still king of bivvies.

Agree

Looking more “Argos” by the minute

You wouldn't want to be seen in that if you were a real hardcore carp angler, the shame of it

Could be the next “must have” item, desert Camo

Looking at the picture, I reckon 5 minutes with a can of black paint and a 4 inch brush it would look immense

To be fair, I have never had a problem with an Aqua bivvy myself

Never had a problem with a Titan either

Can't comment on the new Aqua stuff though

I can on Trakker though, everyone I have owned has been **** and that includes the one I have now

👍🏼Only used twice transforms from a chair to a bed buddy and now apparently also transforms in to a recliner ... £140 🤷‍♂️. Trakker or to be more precise the umbrella company cipher have destroyed the once best reputation in angling equipment 😡

Wow. Another quality aqua product. I'm guessing unless you either weigh about 200 stone or decided to use it as a trampoline then this is just another modern piece of poo Aqua product.

I'd love to be able to ask Chris Manifold in private what he really thinks about what trakker have done to the reputation of the company that he sweated blood and risked everything to build from scratch

I totally echo the comments below I was an aqua fan boy and loved my u ion jack M3 and I still have a mint armo made in Chorley badge and the quality is exceptional anything I had since then was dire and I've not looked back since changing all my luggage to Cotswold and using a tempest for the vast majority of my fishing

As to what Chris would make of it I'm pretty sure he earned considerably well out of the sale to cipher and so why would he care that's the whole point of selling

I've heard a few trakker owners state their disappointment with the newer Bivvies.
