I've been looking for a taller bivvy for a while, I had a bad accident last year and damaged my back. I want a bivvy that I dont have to bend over as much (I'm 6ft3)
Only bivvy I can find is the fox r series xl bivvy, I got a trakker slx v3 at the minute but it's to low down.
Anyone used the fox xl bivvy?

Yes treated myself to a camo 1 man xL
I love it so far really fantastic and solid bit of kit. Well thought out and would recommend without hesitation

I have the 2 man Chub Cyfish Dome, which is very spacious and quite tall.
Totally weatherproof and rock solid.
The standard Cyfish ( not Dome ) is very similar, but without the sealed inner capsule, if that's what you prefer.
Had the Dome a couple of years now and hard pressed to see where it could be improved, cracking bit of kit.
The one man is also generoulsy sized, more like a 1.5....

Perfect I do like the camo one, looks a good size in the videos but not many reviews online for it so hard judge. It does look perfect though for what I want and need

Was discussed in a recent thread and I bought one. Haven't had on the bank yet but had it up in the garden. Proper chuffed with it, very spacious and has a decent inner dome design. There was literally nowhere around to view one (in a tackle shop) so I just pulled the trigger on one. Glad I did!

Weight isn't a problem I do alot of body building bud it's just the bending over getting in and out of the bivvy thats the problem and being crouched over on a chair inside if its raining at the end of the weekend my back is seriously killing me

Thanks for the link bud, was it as big as it seems in the video? It looks a very decent size, just dont want to be crouching over as much that's all. Yeah I have nowhere to view it either which is always my problem I have nothing near me for that.
I wont be getting the capsule I'd rather the wrap instead mate

I'm just shy of 6ft and I can nearly walk into it, but inside it's proper roomy. Sure you'll be happy with it, that was partly the reason I went for the bivvy too, tired of feeling ‘cramped'. Definitely won't have that problem with this bivvy.

Yeah aot of them these days are getting smaller, dont get ne wrong I prefer the smaller, compact and easier to put up bivvies but with my back it would be easier to get a taller one. Tbh I'm not 100% going to get one yet just seeing just as I get older I no I'll need it mate
I wouldnt agree with the old bit tho not yet hahaha

Perfect thank you mate I appreciate the reply, sounds perfect for me, was looking at just getting a 2 man version of the bivvy I have but not sure I need all the extra room, I just wanted a taller bivvy and this seems perfect for what I need

1 man is plenty big enough for all the kit for a week Imo
I reckon 2 man only if you have 2 needing to get bedchairs length ways
Stick with 1 manner and it's cheaper too 😉😉
