Can I ask what swayed he towards the Fox coming from the Tempest?

More usable space inside, better canvas (thicker/darker) open windows fron inside.

Nash T1 bag isn't the same thickness of material at all buddy.
Might be the same colour but that's it
I rate my T2 camo highly and won't be using anything else as yet. For short sessions have the Titan XL Camo which I brought as the T2 is so good. Material is streets ahead of the other stuff I have seen.
Solid as a rock

Got the new camo hide xl and can't really fault it, ticks all the boxes for me! (Quick set up, small packdown, dark, vents, huge inside)
Easily the best bivvy I've owned

For pretty much most of my uk fishing I use my tempest 100t . I have all the modular components. The whole system stays in my van. And I take out what I need from it for each session. For France or week long sessions in the uk I do prefer to use my tempest v2 bivvy system. Although not as tall as the 100t the foot print is a lot bigger. Again I have all the add ons like the extended wrap and utility front . So if my mrs wants to come I can to turn it into a 2 man . The key thing for both of these bivvies for me is versatility.

Not trying to argue with you, but how do you know they are different? I really have tried both fabrics side by side and to me they looked like they were the same. Same thickness, same color, same texture, even the 'shine' of the inside layer of the fabric was the same, to me.
And I liked the design of the titan t1 very much, but I felt like I didn't have a choice, really. Didn't want to wait until cracks also were to be found in my bivvy itself too.

HI - got a tempest 100 advanced and a titan T1. The titan has more usable space inside, MUCH higher and completely flat back. The Tempest is in a better material and a smaller footprint so use the tempest for short sessions and the titan if i am staying more than 2 nights.
Depends on the places you fish but if small swims with not much space the tempest would be a better bet.
If i was buying now i would go for the Titan however the frontiers do look good, mate has had the smaller version since march last year are really rates it.
On the material the Tempest is much better but i have never had a problem with my titan.

Would recommend the Tempest or Fox, I had both the hide and hide xl and the build quality on both was shocking.
Tempest is light years ahead on both the material quality, pole quality and overall finish of the shelter.
I haven't owned the fox but had a look in the tackle shop and looks a great bit of kit, a few more features than a tempest but its only the first release so depends if you fancy taking the risk!

I'm not saying you are wrong but what do you mean by better with regard to material?

I agree tempest all the way it's the best out there as said wait for fox to be out a while to iron out any faults and I wouldn't touch Nash

I hope you are joking about Tempest pole strength? They may as well be made of paper mache because at least that way they would have some form of structural strength. This is on the V2 onwards poles because the V1 were stronger.

This is something I find hard sometimes of forums. One person says a great product while another says it's crap. I would expect when it comes to quality of used materials (not design factors) , one products shines and makes other products look bad.

Been a tempest user since they first came out. From the original v1 bivvy and v1 air. then the v2 tempest air, bivvy system , Xl and brolly. Out of all of them . It was the v2 brolly that I didn't get on with just because of its lack of space.. Now I've just the v2 bivvy system with all the add ons and accessories and the 100t And only did I have to replace a pole on the v2 air. And that was simply because I fell on it 🤷♂️ So out 35 plus poles only one gave up on me

I've had an original tempest bivvy, V2 Brolly and now 100T and never had a problem with a pole or a leak. I was tempted by the Hide XL for a change, but went with the 100T and I'm happy with it.
