Perhaps If I'm being overly critical you may think for that kind of money that you should get two bed chairs in it? I have a Nash wideboy bed chair which is huge and because of it's flat back the chair fits well against it maximising your available space at the front.
It annoys me that the extras are very pricey, for instance the overwrap is £230. I'm hoping they bring out a social cap like you can get for the Tempest range.
I'm 6-2 and I can mooch around inside it just fine, it's well made with good quality materials, plenty of upgrade options, 165cm high at the door, and like I said the zippable windows are a god send in summer.
I'm delighted with it and you could do much worse in my opinion.

If you don't mind me asking how much space would you say you have at the front of the bivvy? As I also have the nash wide system. I get what you mean about the add ons but all the tackle companies seem to rip people off with add on prices and to be honest there are other companies that charge a lot more for the add ons. How long would you say it takes you to set up and pack down the xd? Also does the xd go back into the bag easily?

Probably 3 or 4 feet once the bed is in. In terms of setup and pack down, its seconds to spread it out and erect in its basic position, it's the pegging down, putting the vapour peak on, changing the front panel, putting in the ground sheet etc which takes a bit longer but with everything I'd say about 10-15 minutes. Bag is fine. I get everything back in no problem with a bit of space left over.

In winter I use the wrap and I usually sleep with the doors open. I have no problem with condensation. I am sat in it now and have been most of the day. Got wet waterproofs in here, no problems.
Under certain conditions do I get a light film of moisture? Yes like every tent, bivvy or shelter on this damp little island.

Thanks for everyones help and advice after looking at all the bivvys in detail in my local tackle shop I decided to go with the fox frontier x with the vapour peak
