Surely not! It's vastly different and nothing like a “lite” Frontier!

its their entry level fan out style bivvy, maybe the demand and sales didn't warrant a new style frontier lite

I thought it was a pram-hood, but obviously not. Seem so strange, a "Lite" Frontier II would clearly get a lot of interest.

the eos is a pramhood, the eos pro is fan out style...I think it looks quite decent for the money tbh...I too think a new frontier lite would be decent.

Cheers for the replies all. Keeping my eyes peeled for a decent second hand one with all the bits I want.
I fished last week and actually spent some time in the bivvy as I didn't have to pack up at 6:30 the following morning (for the first time this year). The weather was pants so I was in the Tempest more than usual and my back still hasn't recovered. I'm 5'10” and have to pretty much double myself over to see out of the thing properly. Hopefully a Frontier will be a lot better height wise as well as for useable space.

If you letterbox the door and you have a skull cap you can quite easily see out without having to be a limbo gold medalist.

Best thing for my back was getting a bedchair buddy. Another thing to carry but worth its weight in gold.
ps visibility out of the frontier is pretty good esp if you letterbox it.

Exactly the reason I'm waiting for feedback on the new block frontier in xl size, might have to wait a while...hmm

No, it's the 3
Wierd how Fox don't play the heritage angle of the Frontier, almost like its a handicap to mention it was out 20 years ago to the younger angler.
Nash seem quite comfortable with legend being used with the Titan.
Maybe it reflects on the break in Frontiers production...who knows...but to deny it was the original & Mk1

Wasn't it called fox explorer 20 odd years ago?
The fox frontier was a kind of 2 or 3 rib bivvy...

Yep original frontier was a pram hood style from early 2000's. I still have one with an overwrap in my loft. It was a great bivvy with very thick material too. The also had a budget version called the frontier classic which was a light weight material. I moved on from my original frontier to an aqua M3 as unfortunately after years of use the tapes begin to fail, and it was a hassle to repair.
It's odd fox seem to have forgotten about the true original frontier in thier numbering schedule. I also have a frontier x as my current bivvy let's call that the MK2 as in reality the latest release is 100% a Frontier 3 in reality. Funny enough the original frontier had quick folding /locking knuckle joints on the poles a variation of the latest design. They were a pain in the arse in the cold. I much prefer the keyed joints on my current bivvy.
