I almost ordered one with my fox chair but though best to wait until they are in stock as Jan is a along time off

Must admit the V2 looks a fab bit of kit.
A couple of things that annoy me though, firstly, why have 3 sizes, just do either a 1 man & 2 man or a 1.5 man & a 2 man. That said, even the XL doesn't look like an ideal 2 man bivvy for longer sessions. I was looking at it with a view to taking my 6 year old next year with me , but looks as though I'd need either the extension or over wrap to accommodate us both for longer sessions at least.
Second thing that I'm struggling with is the weight of the thing, over 21kg! My current 2 man bivvy is 15kg and that is a ball ache to transport at times.
That all said, I'm so impressed with what you get for the price that I still may end up parting with my money.

F Dims: 250 x 185 x 130 cm.
X Dims 260 x 198 x 140cm.
XL Dims: 270 x 210 x 165cm.
I'd scrap the X, seems neither here nor there difference wise.

TBH, I don't think any 2 man is great for longer sessions unless with a extension, those sizes seem normal to me.
Re weight, I'd rather have it and a solid product than not have it and a flimsy product. You get used to the weight, it's not a biggy tbh.
I think Fox could and should have created a tent connector that fits to a gazebo type shelter. If it's peeing down all week the last thing you want is a low extension, you need to be able to stand up and stretch. Something like the Outwell Event lounge & connector which you can add sides too if wanted.

I don't disagree.
If you are calling something XL, bloody make it XL though.
As far as the options go, they either need to up their sizes so there is significant difference, or drop one of the sizing options, IMO.

It's Xl a Big 1 man XL...Fox was always clear, the Frontier has always been a 1-man bivvy, so I don't understand the whole 2-man thing because that has never been the case.

Do pre orders require deposit.....thinking cash flow ie, like Nash.
A very strange launch with nothing ready and just after Xmas too...hmm

It looks a very decent upgrade but I am not parting with my funds 4 months early and the weight of em is a downside IMO
Slow boats from china are always later than planned 😆😆

What is the benefit in pre ordering a bivvy?
It seems like you pay maximum price, wait months after handing over some/all of the money and end up with one of the first batch with all the duffers?
