Thank you! Seems like a very good price, but this Armo model comes without inner dome. Trying to comprare SLX and Armo.
Seems like Armo is from Aquatexx and SLX is from nylon. Also, it is hard to find overwraps and inside capsules for Armo despite the high prices.

Imo grap the Slx v3 you have a good inner capsule and if needed you can buy the overwrap later for in winter times.

I am thinking similar because Armo doesn't include wrap or inner dome and I don't want to spend extra money. However, I am thinking that Prologic Inspire might be the best option if I take the risk and buy with no reviews. It has better material than SLX and wrap included. So confused..
Thanks for your help zinno!

Fox is rubbish and Prologic has p*** poor customer service. I would go for JRC if I had to pick. Never had any issues with their gear, and its affordable too.

Not sure if prologic material is better then slx.
Double top is also rated as 20.000 or 15.000 cant say it's better then Slx

Is it possible to know the quality of material without touching it real?

Don't worry about the hh rating too much, look in the camping world and you will see their tents use lower hh ratings and are as good if not better. The slx is tried and tested, the prologic may be just as good or even better, but it's new so nobody really knows. So it's up to you if you fancy a gamble or not

The new prologic bivvys does look good but like other posts have replied there's no real reviews, bit like there new bite alarms.

So I took the gamble and ended up buying Prologic Insipire 2 man. I don't have any experience with bivvies, but if anyone would like to know something about this new bivvy, I can share when I get it.

Hydrostatic head measurements...
i was going to buy a second hand bivvy (cyprinus) from a guy and we set it up for a check over.
It was supposed to be a 20,000 mm hh, but the material was so thin it was almost transparent in parts.
On transparent parts looked like they were sprayed with a microfilm of a rubberised paint to back the material and provide the bulk of the waterproofing.
I have to wonder how this might also apply to other bivvies, the HH isnt necessarily coming from 'better' material but can be a coating...
This cyprinus had odd panels, pained different coloures insides and some not even painted, so i didnt hold out much hope of it being water tight so i swerved it.

I've heard different opinions about Cyprinus. Some say their bivvies are brilliant, some say otherwise. Cyprinus does auctions every day, but the price was still too high with delivery from UK to EU.

As said from a price point and the promo stuff I've seen it looks a brilliant piece of kit I am really considering one as a second bivvy for France trips etc. especially if the Mrs wants to come in tow
Really interested to hear longer terms reviews once you have used it

Prologic just uploaded the video about 2 man version:

It looks to me that the top poles are slightly bent since the bivvy is wider.
