God knows whats going on then but Fox dont reply to emails either.The lack of customer service really put me off and if that new block has issues they wont be interested,since they've been took over theyre **** only got the green in standard not camo,just looked on website

Think the majority of the big companies like nash, fox, solar etc couldnt give a **** about customer service. One of the reasons i packed in carp fishing. Got a garage full of new gear that I will never use again but really cant be bothered to list it all on ebay as its a total chore so it can stay there forever. I never thought that I would end up hating the sport so much.

Rather **** in my hands and clap than give them my money.Looks like Fox have given the stock to them and left the independent shops with the scraps or none

Agreed 👍🏻 Angling direct, another reason why I hate carp fishing. Would rather flush my money down the toilet than give it to AD.

Other than price and the included skull cap does anyone have a like for like comparison (pros cons) vs the Trakker RS range?

For me the RS100 looks like an ideal UK 1man size and the main sell is the doorway space / head height - what's the Frontier 2 equivalent like as the sizing is completely different and to get decent height the XL seems the only equivalent? . . . but I don't want a 1.5man bivvy!

Had my MK1 frontier for a couple of years and it has failed in at least 4 ways. Water ingress around the pockets, water ingress at the top, poles have popped out of the block, and finally a pole snapped off at the block a couple of weeks ago. They're a lot of money, I'd think very carefully before spending it - I know my next bivvy won't be fox.

Seen a few of the new frontier 2's breaking already on facebook. The teeth are shearing off on the cog inside the boss. It looked great at first but after looking closer and seeing that plastic toothed cog i knew it would fail so not sure how Fox couldnt see it. Trakker boss much better design than that fox contraption.
