It's only an opinion on my part 👍
I'll be more than willing to change my mind if I saw one in the flesh and what I've been saying is totally wrong, I'd be silly to do otherwise, you know? Unfortunately there's nowhere that I can think of where I can view different manufacturers bivvs to be able to draw any conclusions other than watch reviews etc on YouTube and the likes.
As I said before, I've got my own needs and wants, they may well be different from anyone elses and if my views/opinions/needs/wants differ from anyone elses, so be it, makes for a colourful tapestry instead of some bland grey thing where we all like the same things and what-not 👍

And therein lies the problem. How can you have a valid opinion on something you have never seen. What you are passing on is other people's ( most of whom you don't know and have never met) views and comments from Internet sources.
I knew I was going to be spending £1000 plus to get a session bivvy and all the bells and whistles so I made the effort over time to see some bivvies on the bank and talk to owners as well as watch and read reviews and adverts. I chose the Nash, its quality and it suits my needs. You may well choose a different manufacturer to suit yours.
I feel my views at least have some validity as I have spent hundreds of hours in mine and I am writing this from said bivvy on the side of a lake. Blanking unfortunately🤔🤔🤔

As I said, therein lies the problem. Do I listen to a qualified doctor with years of experience in respiratory disease with the technical knowledge to understand how a vaccine functions ( I am not in any way comparing myself to such a person, I simply own and use a bivvy) or some bloke down the pub or a nitwit influencer on you tube who have no knowledge or experience of the subject matter, who are as you say "entitled" to their opinion. Way too much talk of entitlement in the world. Going way off topic, sorry.

Well said, also remember the guy banging on about the new frontier being the best bivvy on the market then a sudden change of mind. Only two session bivvies I would consider if I were fishing sessions and what you have is one of them and the other the pioneer 150.

Yep I remember that too, was the best thing ever until he used it in the rain and it leaked like a sieve iirc.

Same as the guy who spammed every bivvy thread with how good the Frontier was before it even came out. Then when he finally got it had to send it back because the stitching was cr*p.
The Titan fabric being ‘rizla thin' is a good one, they must fill the poles with sand then because the thing weighs a ton!

Not sure it leaked,I think it was just the stitching wasn't right like bluebell has just said.I know they have not had many returns with the frontier,after having loads of issues with supabrollys I won't buy a fox shelter though

The fella last year that titled a thread. "Best bivvy ever" about the Wychwood one that needs flat banks. Quietly stuck it up on
Classifieds a few weeks.later.

Hahaha I remember that!
I saw one down the lake and noticed that issue due to only one pegging point level

The titans ground sheet is part of the inner capsule. I purchased the heavy duty ground sheet and use the Titan with that and leave the inner capsule out unless I'm fishing more than a night.
As for the vents they are plenty big enough imo.

I have had the 100T since just before lock down and like it. Easy to setup, pack down, loads of room without being a 1.5 man tent. At 6' I like the height. I have the cap and am tempted to go for a wrap or the social cap. But I have a 2 man armo4 if I want to be social!

Question for the people that have one of these bivvies with the rear or site vents:
Do you think the mosquito mesh wil last for years and years?
Because the mesh is maybe the weakest part?
I have an Aqua Armo Mk1 and it is still going strong, the only thing that is damaged is the mesh in the front door.
Personally I don't care much for the mozzies, but it would a bit of shame if the mesh starts ripping after a few years

I've done away with the skull cap since getting the skull wrap . Doesn't weigh much more or take much more room on the barrow either. I think its a great bit of kit

I got the 100t I also sold my skull cap once I bought the skull wrap it's not actually that much bigger when packed away, I have the social cap for when I want to take my daughter or for longer sessions does everything I need it to do, I've had mine for 2 years now and wouldn't swap it for anything else
