Personally I already have a recon brolly for summer and lightweight short sessions I'd be after one for longer sessions and winter but I cant afford a titan sadly

In mine now and I'm a big big fan. Very quick set up loads of
Headroom and useable space.
Bag isn't that great. But what bivvy or brolly bag is

quite like the look of this. I'm looking for a fast erect shelter as I'm less inclined to make a move if my bivvy needs a full breakdown to go on the barrow.

my mate has a tempest brolly and that sits a little too low on the head-height front for me, but is the hide xl a bit TOO big? it looks like it will fit the bill nicely but being 152cm tall is it a bit too much or does it sit quite well? is the normal hide high up enough to be comfortable for a 6ft'er who has his bedchair raised up a couple of notches?

The 152cm height is at the centre of the shelter, the height to the top of the door opening is 130cm

I'm 6ft 3 ish and when i tested the normal hide it the head room was fine. I just didn't have enough room for a dog bed in there. The footprint of a hide XL is very similar to many one man bivvies it just give toy extra height which make it seem much bigger then it is.

yeah the standard one wont be too bad for most but I do like sitting higher up on my bedchair and I know in the tempest brolly my head is touching the fabric, so the hide xl will possibly be more suited to me in that sense. if I'm as low down as my bedchair legs go I struggle climbing out of it as for floor space I don't usually struggle because I have 2 bags in there and a table sometimes and that's about it

The hide xl will be the perfect size for you I'm 5ft 11 and absolutely love the hide xl I hated how low the tempest v2 brolly was. And found the standard hide far lower again had a look at one set up in my local angling direct when they were first released last year and found it far to low at the front when sat on the Nash bedchair struggled to see out of it without ducking down and the Nash standard size indulgence bedchair that was inside it was pushing into the material either end with the hide was set up on the tension strap height

Mine arrived today set it up in the living room to check it over and attach the waterproof infill much better height for me coming from a tempest mk1 brolly and being 6ft 3. I'm glad I got the Army Andy bag as the one it comes with is crap only problem I've had is the vapour shield is missing hopefully Nash or the tackle shop can sort that out but first impressions are positive
