The shop is on Aldridge Road in Sutton Coldfield, if you know the area it's just off the Queslett Road.

"solid front no mozzie mesh on the front sides so cant watch the water"
I feel the same, that would be a good bivvy but the stupid solid doors really let it down, it has stopped me from buying one,I can't think why they have done this as some of their other bivvies have normal doors..

They've done it so you can buy the mozzy mesh with the magloc separately for £60

Hi
Historically I've been an Aqua fan, however a couple of months ago I was in the market for a new bivvy, I couldn't find many reviews on the new ultralite which for me spoke volumes, in the end I went for the Fox frontier, I think it's a great Bivvy which is reasonable priced. It's a great design and it's very functional. If you do get one get the vapour peak to go with it, gives a little more shelter and the guttering keeps the rain from dripping into the bivvy.

I've got a new Ultralite to replace my old 2010 model (and also down scale from my previous silly big Pio 150) . . .
In a nutshell its quality and just as good if not better than the previous with the rear vents / insect panel etc. Downsides are its def heavier than the original (Aquatexx EV is denser) and the quicksticks are poo (they've now got a Drennan twistlock type mech that is rubbish . . .not sure I like the skull cap peak either and still feel its just more weight / faff to deal with

Had the original for twenty plus years and now the latest one but giving up session fish so selling it. Still think they are the best quality bivvy on the market. New one is a little heavier as you say due to the thicker material but the vents are great and I like the peak on the scull cap and vents in both bivvy and cap. Only two seventy two hour sessions in mine but it rained hard with strong wind for one session and it's a rock solid bivvy and stayed bone dry. The poles are the same as the original and rubbish but I never used them and replaced them with aftermarket ones with quick connectors.a mate has the fox frontier X but I still prefer the ultralite.

I have owned a pioneer, tempest and now the frontier X........for me the Frontier X is the best design and a great bivvy.......

The camo is awful and yes it's weighty but if you leave loads of the pegs out and the groundsheet it's not far off most bivvys using 20000hh material.......
For me it's an evolution of a tempest with a flat back and the quick erect boss.......

Funny thing is loads of people said they would never buy another fox product after owning the first superbrolly and constantly slagged fox off but now have a frontier... Be interesting to see if it's still in production in ten years time.
For £350...you could do a lot worse and get a Tacklebox longtop ,it comes with a free winter skin ...
I've nothing but over all.praise for this bivvy ...for the money you won't get much better..you can have as a sess shelter ,or stripped right back like an AI brolly like I do sometimes...I ditched the plastic c,thro door and front groundsheet to suit my style of quick fish ,photo ,and home.....!

Just lacks height and vents. But it is a very well made bivvy
