Iirc Brown's have a Pioneer and a tempest out atm. Usually pretty good about getting a bivvy out to look at if seriously considering buying

Just bumping this thread....
Looking at the width of the Frontier 185cm and the X 198.5cm.
My Solar SPC tech bed is 205cm.
Has anyone tried the above bed in the Fox bivvies?

I think Bradders is right - i have a mate with a spc tech and frontier and it easily fits inside

Mark,
My solar bed fits in the V2 no probs (brolly version a bit tight) and definitely the 150 for French trips. If you like the Tempest principal would the 100T not be an option? I know the T stands for taller but I looked in a mates and the extra height creates an illusion of more space.
Just a thought.

I went from a tempest user for years over to the frontier x just fancied a change and it's the best thing I've done in a long time, I won't slate the tempest because it is a great bivvy I just much prefer the frontier and wouldn't go back, yeah it's a little heavy but way worth it in my eyes

You are not the first person to say that,a few lads I know have done the same.They all love the extra space the frontier has with having the flat back

Its the flat back that is tempting me - if you can get the bed far enough back there wont be a need for the door when its raining....
As I haven't seen one in the flesh am not sure wether the Normal one is plenty or should I think about the X as the X is same size (ish) on paper as my Tempest V1
Anyways will have to hope someone has one of my syndicate when its gets busy again and will have a nose about it.

I've had various Tempests, Nash Titan and the Hide Xl pro. The Frontier X is far better in my experience.

The x is the one you want,the standard your bed will touch the sides and bulge out a bit

I'm in the same boat. I've got a V2 brolly. It's great but the space at the back does my head in and it's also a bit low for me know I'm getting on a bit! lol
I saw a Frontier X and XD at the show last week. The X seemed pretty big to me, plenty of room. Would love to see one along side the standard and my v2 brolly. Still can't decide as the X is close to £500 all in.

What space in v2 Brolly isn't useable ? I've had the v2 over 3 years and it's fantastic. I only take the kit i need on a session and have always had spare space around the bivvy.
Gone over to the 100T lately as I wanted more head height but the footprints the same.
I can can even put a spod rod in the rod bag along the back of the bivvy when not in use. Some people must be taking far too much kit.
Rucksack - always close to hand
Cooking kit under the bed.
Unhooking mat under the bed
Folded rod bag at the back of the Bivvy.
Bait bucket next to my head to double up as a table

I only take one (for 24hrs) or two (for longer) Small Aqua Holdalls. A bait bucket or two and some water.
I use a bedchair buddy so anything behind the bed is a pain in the arse to get too. I'd much rather the bed right to the back and all my kit in front of me to the sides.
There is plenty of space at the back but I'd rather the space elsewhere :-)

That's sort of what I mean mate. Only things going behind the bed don't get used until pack up time. So there's never a need for turning around.
But I can see where your coming from in a way but if you get all your essentials under the ends of the bed and in front the v2 is near a perfect brolly ( bar height )
