It does seem like an over complicated poor design that will be prone to issues and failures i certainly wouldn't buy one

The early Titans just had a simple spike on the main rear pole.

I wish the front poles of my v1 were longer, so when it's not pegged out. It doesn't look like it's about to fall forward

The space shuttle was built from metal alloys developed by NASA. It just means a base metal mixed with something else, usually to enhance rather than degrade. What else would you like them to use if not an alloy?

Yeah. Sure. But If it was a noteworthy alloy they would be naming it, and shouting from the roof tops what it is. It's going to be chinesium.

I would like them to use a metal alloy that they actually name, rather than the generic term for monkey metal.

Make it lighter - Frontier lite available for the last 4 years?

Make it so the skull cap stays on - undo the poles from the poles on the front and side Velcro straps - pack bivvy away with skull cap attached?

make it so it stands up on its own without needing pegs - erect bivvy and it stands up?

make zipping the front panel in easier - hold zip in hand and zip it on?

Metal alloy is better than plastic, it's also easy to use and lasts if your not a numpty who can't erect a bivvy properly and force it

That's complete nonsence. "Metal alloy" covers a massive range of materials, and so does "plastic." It's a completely ill-informed argument. If it was a decent metal alloy, they would be advertising what it was.


I can't be bothered to rebute the rest of your points, but i stand by my original statements.

You're not wrong, they were very proud of, was it the T6000 aerospace stuff, used on their/my evo....even that went boom every now and then for someone, inc me
Sat there happy in your bivvy, talking to the owner of the lake then it sounds like a shot gun's just gone off over your head...oh no, wait a minute, just my evos pole
I did love that bivvy though.

The aerospace ali (dull grey colour) on the early fox evo was sound.
The newer shiny ali was brittle and crap, defo not the aero stuff.

Only a few v2 have been used so far but already starting to see th new block having issues of the locking teeth shearing and the storm pole mags placed on the wrong way 🤣🤣

Is this Fox leaving us to be field testers AGAIN

Not a good start. Was keen to look at one but these early issues have put me right off for now tbh

I got the Spomb X rod last year and 1st outing noticed the top section was cracked, it took about 4 months to get a new 1..I ended up buying a cheap Greys xcelerate off ebay whist it got sorted and I've never used the Spomb rod..
