Still got the original Supa Brolly and it doesn't leak.
Got a Frontier X recently but haven't actually got on the bank to use it yet

Yep, I knocked 4kg off the total weight by taking the excess stuff out.

Would it not be easier to take a trip to a popular commercial venue and look at the selection lined up 20 yards apart?

I'm sure if you do it politely and tell of your intentions, you could talk to some of the owners and get first hand real world reviews. I think a lot of anglers would like the change if you were asking serious bivvy questions rather than the old “I've caught everything in here and your fishing it all wrong” ****er type conversation.

It's really good ...has adjustable height and no vents ,which I wanted ..

Like the chap at TB ,said to me ,if it had Trakker printed on it ,it would sell loads more..

I wanted to be different ,I'm no follower ,so like to be an individual ,lol,no,seriously ,all these new angling tents are so over priced it's unreal,...

I did a thread detailing how many shelters I have tried...,and how much money I have wasted over the years looking for a product to suit that doesn't,or did not exist..

Soon,if they have not woken up yet, and I'm certain a few have ..carping is a massive rip off....and that's from a life time angler..

I cannot believe the prices of some of these shelters ,plus the add ons ,how many times can a wheel be invented . Just mental, mental money..

I've seen Ryan's Frontier X in the flesh and compared with your Trakker Ultralite it's fecking MASSIVE! Definitely not one for tightish swims.
It does look like good material and very palatial.

I agree I've had a lot of bivvies on the market, I use to love my tempest and I'll be still do really like it but the frontier is on another level to it. I just cut down all the extras bits that come with it I didn't need and it's not that bad tbh
