A carp shop here has stopped selling Fox bivvies after a lot of problems with the R series Xl, also seen problems with the retreat + leaking at the seam
The claim: Fox frontier 5 years in development is also a joke, but let's hope it's a top quality bivvy.

This is something we can agree on 😂
I like the look of these bivvys and will probably sell my Tempest Bivvy and Brolly to fund it but I'm going to wait until they arrive and been field tested before I make a decision

I do like the look of the frontier but problem is like other is the quality of the recent fox bivvies calling them not good is a understatement, I had a r series xl unless it was perfectly flat you couldn't get the pegs in and if I didn't use my overwrap it would leak at the seams. Fox replaced it and the same think happened again unfortunately so I gave it away and bought my tempest which I'm going to keep untill something really good comes out, for me the frontier ain't enough to make me change from my tempest I love it

Hi, I'm in contact with a tackle shop regarding mine, I'm waiting and the last update was they're delayed at the boarder by two weeks, so should probably be in the UK at some point next week or the week after

Tomorrow I will see the Frontier for the first time at Fox Beerse.
Stunning Bivvy, decent build the extra height is great
The X is very spacious, but I go for the XD with inner capsule
They are expected to be in store in January 2021

I guess it's to do with the whole shipping fiasco where freight are being held up.

The Nash T1 is a great bivvy, even I purchased one regardless of me having what I consider to be the best two bivvies ever made.
The Nash Canvas and Hog and a power plus. Although I still prefer the power plus to the all out bells and whistles Titan.
The Titan is fantastic though.

What's the material like zinno, is it Rizla thin like the Tempest, or Aqua grade wickedness?

One the my main considerations with any Bivvy it the dry time. The Nash Hog gets put away wet and then un packed and thrown in a corner to dry off jobs a gooden. The power plus usually causes me to have the outter skin laying around for 24 hours to dry it off. The Titan can take up to 48 hours which is a pain.
My bivvies I bought this year: Quest tackle outer block, Trakker slx v3 plus, Chub cyfish Dome, Nash Double top Mk4
Also saw the Nash T1 camo this weekend
At first sight the Frontier has better fabric quality.

Nash Canvas and Power Plus are 20 years old the Hog 7 years old all of which will out last me. Well maybe not the Hog, plastic mouldings have a short life span 15-20
Years before they dry and become brittle.
As for the Nash T1 and Fox the Nash block design is superior in its simplicity and will probably last longer. The Fox has a forced locking mechanism which will wear and fail which was my major concern and put me off when I considered one. Although I don't think the T1 is perfect and like I have already done with my Hog I'd use a gorilla tape the improve and prolong its life. Rivets are a pain and should be looked at. I had to stick a plaster on one joint on my Hog to prevent damage to the skin. And I plan on using the same tape for the T1 around the anchor points for the inner capsule.
Having thought about it I've had to sew the odd pegging point on the canvas and the zips have been replaced.
The power plus well what can I say probably the best Bivvy that has come to market yet it has its limits heavier than some and sadly no longer available. I wouldn't purchase a single Bivvy that you have purchased Tee as the PP shadows them all. Even the T1 is bulkier heavier and takes as much time to set up in its entirety (canopy included).
No offence meant, with all due respect and all. Every single angler that I've met on the bank falls in love with the PP it have everything going for it for a 2 night stay Bivvy and I've used it for the odd single night however the Hog works just fine as well.
It is by fair the warmest and coolest Bivvy I've had the pleasure to use. Yet you don't want one as I'm still on the look out for a second one.
I actually purchased the Titan because of the extra height compared to the Hog and the additional strength when fishing in high winds around autumn trees and stuff maybe a false cause/reason as I'll keep clear if possible change weather conditions where a thought.

I would not call Nash T1 block design superior, there are enough that already have a broken block or snapped bars
To compare the Frontier's canvas with anything, you can compare it with the old Trakker Tempest (saw one today)
Also saw the Pioneer 150 today, the Pioneer is a step higher in quality very stong bivvy (one of the strongest I've ever seen)
But looking at all the 1 man bivvy's, Fox did did a great job with the Frontier, I put the frontier on No. 2
But i still have my doubts between the Pioneer 150 and the Forntier
