Hi All,
I'm after a cheap Bivvy from Go Outdoors as I have a £200 gift card for them.
I am trying to choose between these 3 and would really appreciate any help from you guys that know what to look for.... it will be used for short trips only, typically a weekend.
I'm looking at the TF Gear Banshee Extreme

Or the Westlake Fragment

Or the Westlake Fragment magnetic

The best thing on there is the wychwood solace hd shelter, wouldn't really spend hard earned money on Westlake or TFG tbh, or sell the gift card and get a kampa bivvy £150 👍🏼

None of those. Tfg are renowned for making rubbish bivvies and westlake are go outdoors own brand stuff which isn't great either. Personally I'd sell the voucher on and get something from somewhere else

I wouldn't worry about it too much, the TFG one is only 149 quid, you probably can't get a brolly for that these days, if you want a cheap two-man bivvy for that price they probably all come out of the same factory and are much of a muchness, in fact I recently watched or read something with Dave Lane where he pretty much confirmed that ( can't find it now of course), might of dreamt it of course

Thanks all, so when I went to look today they had a TF Gear Airflow mk2 2man which after some haggling with the manager I got for £180. Figured the fantastic price was worth the risk..... we will see!!

A two man is a bit overkill but good luck

Agreed, unfortunately they didn't have a 1 man 👍
Are you sure?
