Correct but i only want to make use off the full overwrap in winter times
A extra condenser wrap like the 1 man have would be ideal for the rest off the year

I have now used my slx with inner Capsule in all weather conditions, the inner Capsule stays completely dry on the inside.

Only thing that worries me on the Prologic is: without overwrap will it have condensation on the inside?

Ah, I understand now. Since I have zero experience with bivvies, that is why it is hard to know what bivvy I really want, for example full wrap, condenser wrap, inner dome, etc.

Depends on how sturdy it is, I will never buy 4/5 rib system max 3 rib.

I had a Nash Double top extreme 2 man mk4 (5 rib system) before my Slx , a misery to set up/break down compared to the Trakker Slx v3 (3 rib system)

Maybe also check out the Chub cyfish dome 2 man (Ebay seller ulli dulli) don't know where you are from but he doesn't ship to the Uk

My experience, on wet days/nights you always have condens with 1 layer bivvvies, thats way you want a condens cap/skull cap, full overwrap or a inner capsule.

Thank you. What is better in your opinion - full overwrap or inner dome?

For me, Winter fishing: Overwrap, the rest Inner capsule

135cm x 260cm x 220cm is small for 2 beds, the dimensions are also external dimensions ( incl front peak) so the inside is a lot smaller

Or Armo v4 2 man for 395 EUR
Best choice imo more expensive with overwrap /inner capsule separately but very good quality, i also like the zip off front peak option.

Just saw a Yt from the Inspire 1 man not sure about the groundsheet zip quality
Around min 2.50
Inspire 1 man
