I take it the big red triangle warning not to erect with front on, can be ignored as long as door isn't zipped shut?
If you try to erect with the door closed, the 2 front poles CAN bend inwards (at the bend)
Flimsy fecking poles made from soldering wire

Mine went up fine with door unzipped
For the price its great loads of little pockets
The storm poles are not needed as its dolid
without them too.
Nice height as well and looks good 👍

Not too keen on the groundsheet clips, so i put 3M velcro, the entire length of the groundsheet/bivvy flap, only to realize that you don´t even need to clip it up. 
Would´ve been perfect with a sewn in groundsheet.

The capsule was good but not for me to be
honest too much faffing around with storm poles
Thought it would be as easy to put up as my old
Big z but no
The AXS is miles quicker and stands up on its own
Also its a bit higher which suits me as getting old lol
👍

I used mine for the first time at the weekend – what a quality bit of kit! I instantly noticed that it's made of exactly the same material as the old Pioneer Ultralite's were made of, that dark green speckled material. It is based on the JRC Blox design but all the niggley faults have been ironed out–
Ground Sheet self aligns via the two locating loops each side of the door, no more grovelling about inside to line it up, no “Crap magnets” either as in Velcro, proper Snap clips in each corner as on a Rucksack.
The Square Pole inserts are much more substantial, providing positive alignment for the Poles when joined.
The Tensioning Straps are proper Clips too not Velcro again (I remember with the old blox having to un-pick all the bits of grass from the Velcro every time I came to use it from packing it down the last time) No more doing that.
Eight storage pouches made from proper thick mesh.
I did fit the storm Poles, which angle in from each corner to the Poles each side of the Door – I never seen a Bivvy so ridged once they are fitted.
It's the perfect size as well.
Well done Sonic, how the hell you can sell such a high quality product for such a price is beyond me – but all credit for doing so!

What are the dimensions of the Shelter? Can't seem to find anything?

There's a floor plan for the shelter, which is same as the Bivvy and Brolly versions I believe.
