All correct, I have the Euro extension too to turn it into a 2 man. I keep thinking about adapting it for one of those mini log fires, the materials more than thick enough. Ths is mine with the overwrap from 2020, don't think I've used it since :-( Now that's more like a usable peak on the front!

Forgot about pegging out an overwrap! 100's of pegs needed.....
The way the skullcaps etc attach now is definitely representative of some kind of progress.

Think that's just my OCD, looks like the pegging points are in the same place
Little point in having a wrap if it's touching the inner bivvy and there's no air flow between the skins...a critique of modern designs maybe...hmm

I like the fluro or bright T pegs ,a great thing,as they easier to locate at night and when packing down..
We've all lost a peg or two as they become 'invisible' in long grass etc..

The only issue with the euro extension was that the peak loved to pool water after a decent down pour. I made a clip on cross bar for mine with a central rubber mushroom shape to create a small pyramid. The water just rolled off after that and never pooled again on the porch. Funny enough I seem to recall that Nash hastily added a similar feature to the Titans in recent years as they suffered with a similar pooling issue. 🤣

Been using those pegs over 25 years. I got so fed up losing them and back then bivvies had guy ropes, at least with the yellow pegs you could avoid the bloody things instead of going arse over tit
@Wils, They changed the pole design at some point on the Frontier Bivvy, I never found out when. That instruction booklet shows 2 rows of poles going to the back but mine only had 1 central one, odd how they never put a 3rd higher one inbetween at the front on the wrap as it too gathered water there.The single pole design front to back, I was never a fan so I bought adjustable individuals, quite a bit taughter after that.
@braders, I was in Vale Royal the other day Tom said maybe Christmas...could be a April fool on Foxs behalf though by the time it comes out

so after much deliberating and not being able to get a front for the frontier lite ive gone for a titan hide camo pro xl....flat back, footprint not much different to the hide, taller at the door to look out and watch the water....after having two back operations I couldn't chance getting the hide.....I was going to take a punt on the new eos pro but after watching a few vids on the hide xl pro I reckon it will suit me
