Not sure lol but if its the same as what's on my spider bivvy it's good, need a light inside even in the day so should stay very cool in the summer especially with all the ventilation. Also very waterproof, another bonus is you can fit a 1 man bivvy or brolly in through the back door which will give even more space.

Plus points.
Can accommodate 2 beds and tackle with ease.
Can be bought with options of inner dome and overwrap. Given it's size and HH on the fabric and the fact it's only used twice a year I wouldn't bother with the wrap.
Good sized vents and decent quality groundsheet which is clip in.
It's big on account of the height but the footprint isn't too bad. I measured the groundsheet against my cyprinus 2 man and there isn't that much difference in size.
Great if weather is inclement. Can get 2 guest chairs in the space between bed chairs with ease when raining.
Able to stand up straight inside unless 6 foot plus.
Minus points
Heavy
Takes a while to put up and can be difficult to erect if windy.
Difficult to dismantle and pack away neatly.
Overall tho it's a decent bivvy and the Mrs loves it. Look around for deals. I got the bivvy and inner dome for less than 400.

The Fox 2 Man XL Bivvy is class.
im 5ft 10. so I can stand up perfectly everywhere in it.
fits two large bedchairs, plus 2 normal chairs. No problem. Its like a living room.
the amount of people that walk past the bivvy and stop to make a comment is incredible.
The cheapest place to get the bivvy plus the inner lining skin, is englandangling.co.uk

Costs a bit more but the Tempest 200 is a great option. Absolutely massive and dead easy to put up. Hull Angling accepted a best offer of £450 on eBay (listed at £500] when I bought mine last year, they accepted it straight away so it might be worth putting in a cheeky lower bid.
