Must...resist....must stop looking at Pioneers.....must remember I have 3 perfectly good and virtually new bivvies already......... 
It's tempting for me too
But how good is the ground sheet of the Pioneer 150, does it fit well with the bivvy so that you don't get any grass or so through it? (too bad it's not a zip in ground sheet)

I really like the look of the frontier... If it stands the test of time I think it will be better than most

Me too and a big plus for me is the inner capsule and height, and the windows that you can open / close from the inside

Need to remember that there have been plenty of issues with the Pioneers mainly crap seams.....

If it is like my Pioneer 100 groundsheet, then extremely well fitted! The groundsheet has elasticated pegging points to match up with the ones on the bivvy itself & also has approximately an extra inch of material all round that sits up higher around the base & flaps on the bivvy itself so no grass etc pops through.

Not slashed enough for old tech, fiddling around with poles and the chance of it turning more orange than Donald Trump...........

Trading on former glories, their stuff is garbage nowadays. Real shame.

Its the former glories that makes me want one even more!!!!
before I continue im a bivvy slut
I Love my tempests (XL and army Andy custom air) and they are everything the pioneer should now be, but its Aqua!!!
The nostalgia with the brand that in no way whatsoever is the brand now that it was back then and so I type this with my eyes wide open, however:
from the 60" brolly, to the 55 brolly system or the Aquaite and ultra carpy wrap (if you know you know) to the beast of all pram hoods an m3 and then the M3 duo Aqua had it all covered.
The perfect shelter for every scenario made lovingly here in England but the pioneer utralite was the game changer and I want another, YES, ill probably be disappointed and regret it but hey who cares !!!!!!
Anyone tell me where the best deal on a 150 with skull cap is ?

Rob.
ah but nostalgia....
the Ultralite had a lot of weak snapping pole issues. and wasn't in production that long.
and lest we forget, the carbon compact and aqualite.
