By that you mean properly field tested and tweaked, and to be up to the job, and actually waterproof, and not a green sieve.
Be interesting to see when it is ready, as long as the price doesn't need you to sell a kidney!

I'd like to hope so! Not like the other expensive rubbish out there atm. Quality control with shelters seems to be a thing of the past!

i have spent the last 20 years fixing bivvies and finding out what the problems are.
most of the common faults are an easy fix, but nothing seems to change,
the only bivvy I have ever than any input into is the tackle box long top. Gary had many different samples before it was right and the common faults were sorted. simply things like re enforcing pegging points rather than sewing them strain onto the material.
proper zips, pole sleeves strengthened and proper mesh used.
it seems now a days that there is no field testing done just released then new improved models released a year later.

Seen the pics and vids of the TB bivvy, looks really good and can imagine it's built to last.
Just have never seen one in the flesh or any real reviews
