"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 "
I didn't know that?! Joke lol Yes just put up in garden for photos.
As for the wrap, you wouldn't really gain any ground space as the wrap pulls down from the porch, and as you can see the front slopes out a little anyway so you're only pegging it to the esixting front edge.
I wouldn't recommend a Bloxx Compact as a 2 man bivvy, but plenty space for one

£130 on Black Friday deals around last Christmas, i don't think they went any lower than that. Think i paid £225 for mine with wrap, but that was a good deal at the time.
The Bloxx one man (not compact) was up for little over a £100 new at one point, was a proper bargain!

No I wasn't saying they were cheaper than that. I'm saying they are much more expensive now, i.e £220!!

I get you mate, but the £130 they were advetised at was probably around last Christmas. They were about £180'ish when i was starting to look but the Black Friday time they could be had for £130.

If you put the overwrap on do you think could get 2 bedchairs in lengthways?

I'd say not. It's not an extended wrap so doesn't increase the footprint.
But why would you buy a compact sized 1 man bivvy and try and use it for 2 people?! lol

I would not buy the compact I would buy the normal 1 man
I am deciding whether to get this or a tempest and then decide if to keep my huge prologic 2 man bivvy.
Ideally If I could have one which would be extended like the tempest can with the utility front that would be great whilst trying to keep cost as low as possible, as this has a peak I was checking to see if the front came down to the floor inline with then peak... if it did then you would have a extended footprint.

Total fishing tackle has the bloxx compact in stock I bought one at the weekend for £148 posted discount code eBay for 10% off had it delivered yesterday . In my opinion it puts Trakker to shame with the price and quality of the the tempest air and full size for tempest and I've owned both of them in the past and think the bloxx is much better quality than both of the Trakker version .
