Thanks is the T1 easy enough to erect and get down for a move of swims, with the inner dome in ? Or am I asking too much , I do a maximum of two to three nights per week and generally that includes at least one move of swims !

With some practice you can set up all those fast erect bivvies in less than 2 minutes, breaking them down is just as fast.
For your needs realy check the Quest defier.

If I m fishing two nights of mobile fishing I don't take the T1, I take a brolly or an old scope bivvy.
The T1 is a fantastic, spacious, comfortable, easy to use 1 man, high quality session bivvy and I love mine. Light and mobile it aint. Horses for courses.

I've had both the slx and r series bivvies both are good bivvies, if I had to choose again it would be the slx just because the r series of its in even ground it's all but impossible to put up. I've got a tempest now which I much prefer to either a few of those have inner capsules I would look into one of them mate

Are there not quality issues with the Quest Defier ?

Not with mine, the quality was even better than my previous Trakker t100, and defier green or camo is now both 20.000hh canvas material.
You always have people who break everything, they can even make a hole in the thickest canvas or break the strongest poles, I don't value such clumsy types
The person that bought my Defier is also happy with it
Seen the Cyprinus K2 60?

No I hadn't seen that Cyprinus K2 , that looks very good and may be just what I'm after , I initially wanted a inner capsule but I suppose a full zipped in groundsheet and mozzi mesh panels and door would do what I wanted.
I assume it can be folded away with the front attached and add the groundsheet at set up on the bank.
Thanks for that have to look at it further, can't think of any negatives at the moment

For folding away with front in it you just need to leave the door open, i even can pack away my previous Quest defiler and Frontier Xd with groundsheet still zipped on it 😀

I'll start another post specifically for the Cyprinus K2 and see if there's any negatives !
Couple of videos on utube one guy who can't get the central pole out
, and another who says the material stopped beading water after 8 months . But others positive!

Looks like I've changed my mind again towards Quest defier in green. Know you had one no negatives you can think of ?

can't say anything wrong about my defier I had the 10,000 version, the current are 20,000 + there is now also an overwrap available
Compared to the Frontier xd on the inside it is smaller if you do a lot of 2/3 night sessions a bit small but for 1 night or day sessions the Defier is ideal

I have the T1 and the inner capsule takes up a bit but not lots of space and does prevent condensation drip. None the less I'm happy to use it with or without.
