How do you rate the RS100 vs the Hide XL Pro for space and pack down size?

I need to get something smaller to save some space for upcoming French trip was going to buy the Hide XL Pro but now debating getting the RS100?

Save some space where? In your car or bank account?

Lol I can get a new Rs 100 for £450 so there's not much in the price considering the hide needs a front and hd sheet.

Just need something small for upcoming French holiday where me and a mate going France with 2 x boats and all gear all in my amarok. Even bought an mf60 compact for the occasion and Im 21 stone 😂😂😂

Thinking could possible use the Rs for weekend trips too but the problem is I also have a T1 pro and Blockhouse Pro

I asked Fivenil a comparison on 2 x bivvys I was interested in. The only reply I got was about saving money. When I replied the money side isnt as bad as I can get a good deal I get questioned on it by yourself and some silly comments about cheap hides. You sarcastically say very helpful but all I have had from my initial post were pointless responses.

Anyways doesnt matter I bought the RS 100 hopefully its okay for a french trip. And I bought it from someone who won it in a raffle hence the price. Hope thats helpful

I bought the RS Brolly as don't use a ground sheet and it works out cheaper; big for a brolly(massive) and looks good quality - i had a pioneer for a 1 wk before the spreader cracked.

I think the RS is currently the best available so went with that and would presume at some point an aftermarket company will bring out a upgraded ali spreader plate if there is a requirement.

Lol

I had a play in my garden. Its made well enough. The fabric doesnt feel as premium as what it sounds on the tin and its a bit low for a fat guy with a bad back but its really nice and compact in the bag for transport and really does set up in 5s.

Was impressed enough to buy the skull cap and insect panel too for it so now not so cheap anymore

Apologies, only just read this thread again.

I originally bought the RS150, skull cap, magnetic mozzie and social cap. It was massive. Used for a week in France and sold it when back in the UK.

Bought the 100 and would say it is pretty much the same size as my Nash, possibly a tad smaller.

Very nice bit of kit and love the magnetic mozzie mesh. Apparently, you can pack it down with the front and peak still on but i havent tried that yet. Think you have to leave the door unzipped?

Only reason i bought this was because I wanted the social cap and not the extension ike the Fox has.

Yeah I like it. Just bought the social cap too ha as its on sale for £280 thought why not. Might have to sell my T1 Pro to justify all this extra expenditure
