I'm currently using a V2 Air, with the utility front when I take one of my boys for the night. Due to the current situation, we aren't going on holiday this year and I'm working remotely for a few more months, thus I'm likely to be doing multiple overnight sessions with one of my kids. Possibly up to 3 a week.
So I'm thinking of getting a 2 man bivvy and selling utility front.
The Tempest 200 looks perfect for speed of assembly and striking down, but maybe too big for my needs.
Are there any other quick erect 2 man bivvy for short sessions?
Would a pioneer 150 or Tempest 150 be big enough for 2 bed chairs? Maybe with a RidgeMonkey kids bedchair?
Feedback from users of above, or other systems I may be unaware of, most welcome, many thanks in advance.

Trakker cayman 2 man I find is ideal
For. Me. And my son. I also didn't want anything too big
As I only do 48 max. And also want to be able to use
All swims. In the past I've tried an original
Pioneer with extended overwrap. Not worth the hassle.
Cayman is two ribs with 3 breaks so goes up real quick
Maybe needs a rear vent for summer.

Cyprinus M4 for me, basically a Cayman but with rear vents, removable front and Heavy duty Aquatex......although I don't think they do them anymore which is a shame as it's a cracking bit of kit!

Thanks Wayne. Looks like you're right, can't find one anywhere. Typical!

Just to say. With my wideboy indulgence bed an my sons stealth we have plenty of gap inbetween lengthways. But the corner of my bed does push against the material at the front.
So I tied some thin
Bungee elastic to the front pegging points so I could pull it out further. Mind you when using the overwrap
It doesn't happen as the peak gives about an extra foot

In the interest of balance, ive had both Cyprinus M4 and Cayman at the same time .... I preferred the simpler and lighter Cayman .... Kept the Cayman and sold the Cyprinus

Thanks Paul. The challenge appears to be finding either to buy!
