I totally agree braders they have a safety net price so when they discount they still make money good example lately is the aqua atom plus with wrap discounted to £289 for both

Like you said if people stop paying these ridiculous prices then they would have to lower them

If you are bothered about being ripped off then wait for these deals, not like they are poor bivvies? People who want the newer stuff will pay for it. Majority of new things are highly priced when released because the demand is high, look at TVs, games consoles, phones etc its not just "carp tax"

Thats the problem they are poor bivvies,it took me 3 attempts to get a decent tempest v2 bivvy.If the product is high quality then I don't mind paying a premium but Aqua are nowhere near the quality they used to be and Trakker have always been hit and miss

I think most bivvies have their issues though. No end of people recommend the v2 because ive been looking for a brolly/bivvy myself. Buy also seen that a few people have had issues with theirs and trakker have replaced them

If you think the price of the new brolly is bad wait till you see the price of the new Tempest X DPM EV 100 £1199 for the Tempest bivvy complete with mozzi zip infront & skull wrap or Tempest X DPM EV 150 £1399 for the Tempest bivvy complete mozzi zip infront & skull wrap absolute mental money but idiots will pay it . Just seem them on total fishing tackle website

That's absolutely ridiculous as I have already said others have tried these mad prices now one by one other companies will follow hopefully companies like speero will start up and take the trade and show what a rip off it is

What's even more shocking there are people sticking up for these companies blaming brexit or shipping

I didnt think 500 was that bad for a new bivvy with infills and groundsheets, but more than double that certainly is.

I think £500 is ridiculous and it's not a new design only the material

I dont know how the designs can be improved, the speed for setting up can't be increased significantly as it only takes minutes to put up these days. (Can't see a design being quicker than the spreader blocks) Guess quality, weight and features are the only improvements we will see now

Makes the new Ridgemonkey bivvy seem positively cheap at £900

I may look at selling my V2 bivvy brand new in the bag with skull cap any takers at £900...bargain
