New bivvy needed... too much choice so help needed (12 posts / 920 views)

so my Nash Brolly dome has succumbed to mice after god knows how long of ownership and need a new bivvy/brolly.

I dont go loads so spending 700 quid on a pioneer or Tempest etc is not really an option (cost isnt an issue but being Northern I like VFM)

Been looking at the new Wychwood Bivvy and the Sonik AXS any other recommendations? Ideally dont want to be paying out for panels, groundsheets etc cos might aswell get a Tempest Brolly advanced (which is another option)

Bedchair is a Nash SS4 standard so not massive but I do like a bit of room for all the usual crap. I also prefer to use a groundsheet and hate lightweight ones, they rustle like a bag of crisps

see what I mean, its a bloody minefield also with COVID its difficult to know anywhere where I can go and view some in the flesh per se.

cheers

Steve

I've just got the Wychwood MkII Brolly system and so far for the price I've been really impressed.

I haven't used it a tonne yet so can't give you a long term view but for the price I think it's packed with features and ticks all of my boxes. Also comes with a 5 year warranty so fairly comfortable that it's going to last me.

If you Google it there's a fairly in depth video on YouTube where a guy puts it up and shows you around it (not a Wychwood one but independent) and I think his views on it are fairly accurate

I use the Titan TC Pro, loads of internal room due to the shape of the footprint, but not to big on the outside. I use a standard size bedchair and pushed flat to back have all the room I need for bags etc at the front. I think Parkfield Angling will do it for £450 delivered

Stuck in the same situation, current swaying towards a tempest brolly as it offers versatility.

But also looking at the Nash hide, Sonik AXS, Aqua fast and light and the Cyprinus Typhoon Storm

I've recently got the sonik axs bivvy, used it 4 times, and loving it. Easy to set up, light to carry, and for the cost, its a bargain considering what is included for sub £300

Gerry that's a good question

Though I do prefer fishing under an army camo shelter

yeah we are spoilt for choice such a choice of good quality kit.

May go with the AXS and put the saving towards bait and actually go a bit more
Are you sure?
