The compact is quite a bit smaller than tempest but the tempest is not worth the money at all mine had loads of issues and went back and got refund

i'm really tempted to get one as its half the price of the T1 and V12.

do you think one of the tempest skull caps would fit it?

No i dont think it would and why would you want one the bloxx has a peak.At some places you can get the compact and overwrap and still save yourself a few hundred quid on the v2 and t1

Guys I own the top of the range kit you can buy. I have had the tempest until June it leaked on me and was flimsy. Loving trakker got the armo v3 the mesh broke. Now I have the stealth bloxx compact and could.not belive the quality of its simply amazing quicker to put up than my old tempest more sturdy. Got it for 160 quid brand new. Sold my trakker and have a few hundred quid in my pocket. I would highly recommend to anyone ignore the brand looks like a titan from far anyway

Is that just a quick set up to show people mate as tension strap should be under groundsheet and so should flaps around the bivvy just saying

Yep they do look a great bit of kit for the money I'm selling my Trakker tempest air to get one that's how impressed I am with the look of it plus I like the idea with the overwrap the front zips of so can be used as a 3/4 overwrap which I prefer

From what I have read you can also take the tensio strap off and make the bivvy wider and lower

Hi all,

Seem like the price of this has gone up quite a bit lads? I remember them being £130 at Erics some time ago.

Any weight difference between the standard Bloxx and compact?

Also, has anyone got a compact with the wrap and if so do you get much more room at the front? My 6 year old has mentioned coming at some stage so I think compact may be too small, even though he will just be kipping on kids mattress I think.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
