How does the groundsheet attach, velcro, zip in, clips?

I really like the look of the Wychwood Tactical bivvy and would buy one if i didnt think the Cayman was so good. Hate velcro groundsheets though (although i rarely use one). Nice to see someone bring out a simple & sensibly designed lighweight bivvy .... Its been a while since i see one

Does it just go up and down as a pram hood?. They never seem particularly fast to me. Looks smart though.

Yep only two breaks in the pole plus there anti twist.
Even the bag is oversized and full zip

does look decent, apart from a very quick carpology vid, the Wychwood marketing is crap, would love a full review somewhere. Even on their website it is one pic and thats it

I can put my Cayman (minus the peak) up as quick as my Tempest Brolly or Evo Compact

Zip-in groundsheet would of been great.

Agreed I have a jrc tx extreme and as good as it is bivvy wise I end up not using the groundsheet because it's such a faff with velcro

Sorry wrong info guys it wasn't Velcro but toggles much quicker and the ground sheet doesn't move...

If was in the market for a new Bivvy then it would come from either Wychwood or Nash having chosen wisely many years ago I have two that do all I'd ever want and nothing since has tempted me.
