Have a 100t that I use for most of my fishing but looking at getting a new bivvy for longer sessions, France and winter fishing.

Like the look of the Avid HQ dual layer. Any feedback or other suggestions?

Budget around £400 - £500
Decent size for a wideboy and room for luggage/chair
Prefer an inner capsule than a wrap.

SLX V3. Inner capsule as standard. Comes in 2-man or Plus size which should give you ample space. Cheapest deals are on TFT

They are a crock of poo Gerry, Mark had one and binned it off as it was heavy as Hell, dark as a Dungeon but, OK if you were a Midget !

Get yourself a Nash 2 man Double Top Extreme.

2 man mate.
As we have got older, none of us like being cooped up in our Titans for a week and have gone for Quad xxl, Nash Extreme or Avid xxl so as we can stand in them and not stoop too low getting on them.
Old age eh 🙄
