we as anglers are stuck in a position where Trakker, Aqua and Nash are the 'better' options out there. Those RV tents that Ridgemonkey are promoting may fair better in the quality stakes but there insanely expensive and huge and for me personally ugly as sin.
The price point of any bivvy is now crazy. And considering how many they sell, I just cant believe it isn't viable to manufacture, as Aqua did back in the day, in England !!
Trakker & Aqua must sell 1000s of units. The import and delivery charges alone......that saving would, surely, make it realistic to bring it back to the UK and put out, properly quality produced and checked items AND still be profitable.

The tackle box bivvy is a superb bit of kit,well thought out and very well made.Im sure army Andy had something to do with the design of it,if I was buying a bivvy it would be that one

I still use a Chorley made Aqualite, it's showing it's age a bit, were you fold the two sides in to pack away it leaks a bit - but it's no issue just wear over the years of use.
But I don't have a ground sheet for it, and if i intend to keep doing over-nighters through winter I'm going to need a Bivvy with a ground sheet.
It's probably the Sonic AXS Bivvy I'll be getting, as I liked my old JRC Bloxx , but with the AXS the design has improved even further.
(James who used to work for JRC, he then moved to Sonic- hence the similar design)

Really Paul! Afraid the days of waking up with frost covering the inside of the bivvy and top of the sleeping bag too - I'm not that stupid enough not use a Ground sheet anymore
Please let me know if you have one, still think I'll get an AXS as well - after having a early JRC Bloxx, with what Sonic have done to improve the design it's probably as near perfect a Bivvy design as it can get for my needs (Quick over-nighters)

we need someone Cotswold Aquarius to make a bivvy. Made in England, the quality would be unsurpassed !
