I talked my pal out of the sonik axs and said to him to get the quest block as he ideally wanted the head room. I feel pretty bad now as he has had to send his back due to quality issues....

OMG, I saw the pictures at first of the Quest and I loved it.
I live in Holland, so buying a bivvy online from an other country is always tricky.
But when I read these posts I am shocked about the quality of the Quest.
I have a Trakker V2 brolly with infill etc and I love it, but was thinking that the Quest was a good replacement if the V2 was end of life....
So I stay with my V2 and maybe in the future the Sonik ASX will be a candidate, because that one I can check or buy at my local shop.

Just bought a 2nd hand unused Quest Outer Block for €200
What a nice Brolly and quick to set up, ideal for 1 day / 1 night sessions.
It is now up and we are going to fish again for 3 nights, I can not say anything wrong about it, the cloth is good, it is very stable and looks nice
The Chub Airbrid 2 man will also stay, the wife,son, daughter will spend the night in the Chubnd I in the Quest Outer Block.
If I go fishing alone at night with my son or daughter I take the Chub and for day sessions the Quest Outer Block, finally our search for bivvies is over.

Hi Everyone.
Matt here from Quest Tackle. Hope you are well? In reply to some of the comments on here which we were made aware of by a customer of ours, we thought its best to give a response
We see there are a couple of negative comments regarding the Outer Block bivvy which have been resolved with each individual.
For any potential new customers reading this post, like all large shipments from China (yes all big fishing brands are manufactured here ), some may have minor issues. This is completely normal and I'm sure the big brands have the same small issues as well.
So far we have sold approx 350 of this style of bivvy with great success and only very few issues which were resolved quickly either by sending a replacement or refunding in full.
We are only a small family run business and work as hard as we can to make the bivvies the best we can, as well as having a good price point. 350 sales of this model may not sound a lot but it is for us when we sell to you directly and not through the shops.
In response to the Quest Outer Block bivvy in Green bivvies material being low quality. Its 210D thickness Polyester with 10000HH. It's not the same as Aquatex however exactly the same as the Trakker 100T.
Our DPM style bivvy has incredible material and is the very best we could have gone for, bearing in mind our bivvies are made in the very same factories as the biggest brands you know (won't name drop
) The DPM material is like Aquatex and fully breathable as well as having 20000HH. The inside of the material is so dark, its pitch black inside even on a sunny day 
.
For peace of mind for anyone thinking of making a purchase, we offer:
* Easy 30 day returns - You can purchase the bivvy, thoroughly check it over and if in the unlikely event you are not completely satisfied you can return hassle-free for a full refund.
* 12 Month Guarantee - Any issues within 12 months, contact us and we will sort it
In summary, a few issues are completely normal however only a very small percentage. Our bivvies are made in the very same factories as the biggest fishing brands, by the very same workers, with the very same materials. We offer guarantees so you can buy with peace of mind and make your own opinion.
Admin - Hope its OK for us to reply to this post
Any questions its best to contact us directly through Facebook, Instagram or via email. We will try to reply to any replies on here also.
Many thanks.

Fk me we'll have all the companies coming on here soon defending every piece of feedback given. Maybe the forum should charge for the service
Pity you lot couldn't be bothered to respond when I had issues and raised them via your website.
But now there are issues with a batch of bivvies and it may impact your sales, your pretty pro-active.
Poor show Quest!!!!

Honest question Matt. Does anyone from Quest lay eyes, unpack, set up etc any of the kit between it leaving the factory in China and arriving at the customers house?
You can say what you like about them being built at ‘the same factory' but I'm yet to see a brand new tempest covered in holes with stitching like it's been done while skiing down a mogul course.

Hi Steve.
Thanks for your reply. We will always reply to any messages a customer has and we will be happy to help you with any issue if you contact us directly through FB or via email.
There is not a problem with this batch of bivvies and therefore the reason why we felt we needed to reply to this thread. Incorrect comments like yours are sending out the wrong message to potential new customers. We are only a small family business and this is our livelihood at risk. We have only had a very small percentage which is normal on most large shipments. Over 350 sold with a handful of problems and many other positive reviews online.
Please contact us through FB or email and we will be happy to help you with any issues you have.
Many thanks.

Hi bluebeat13.
We do not set up the bivvies after they have come from China. There is strict quality control before they leave the factory. If we were to set them up to check them over, they would, therefore, look used and unsalable as new.
The bivvy shown in this thread with some machine holes and poor stitching was 1 bivvy out of 350 from this particular shipment.
We do try our very hardest to ensure the quality is the best we can offer and will continue to do so. If we didn't there would be no business for us. This is why we offer the guarantees so customers have that peace of mind.
Any questions please let us know and we will be happy to help

So here is an honest open review
I am currently sitting in my bivvy during a heavy downpour without the skull cap on to make sure it doesn't leak. Well it leaks, a lot!
Thank god I did as I'm off to France next week and we are due storms but let's look at the pros and cons of this bivvy.
The material is better than lots of bivvies I have seen, the size and height is perfect, the strength of the bivvy is also very good and all the zips are good quality. The design is brilliant and up til the point it rained I really liked this bivvy. But the water is leaking in through several areas on its first ever outing so it's got no chance of surviving one winter. I am sending it straight back Monday but it's such a shame as it was almost perfect for me

Have already done 11 night sessions with my Quest Outer Block 10,000, had about 3 heavy rain nights and had NO water inside, (i got the skull cap but on the sides/windows no leaks) so still happy with mine.
I have used mine twice. Once for a uk 48 hour sesh and once for a week in italy. I have a wide bedchair so not much room left at the front as its not a flat backed bivvy. It goes up easy, love the zip in ground sheet and it was well sturdy in 2 bad stormy nights. It was a lot easier to get out of than my M3 due to the increased height and the proximity of the bedchair to the front of the bivvy. Overall its no good for the long sessions (for me). Just not enough room. Perfect for short sessions tho. Im going for an R series XL if they ever come back into stock for my longer sesssion bivvy, more room is more comfort for me.
There was talk of a full overwrap for the quest which would add a bit more depth but its just a shame that the layout is so space wasteful.
Had no leaks during torrential downpours but plenty condensation where the vapour shield dont cover. As said, great for short sessions only (for me)

Think I'll be using my Quest tackle outer block / defier bivvy a little longer
