Hi all,
Been looking all over this information and I can't believe it isn't available.
Currently stuck between a Cyprinus Typhoon MH and Nash Titan T1 but I can't find any information on the Bivvy material used on the Titan ?
I'm hoping someone who has the Titan can offer any advice on what the material is like (HH ETC....) and what the ground sheet is like in the inner capsule ?
Cheers

Material is a heavy duty "armoured" nylon, (believe it is 20K HH, at least it was on the original green) having said that though don't be put off, it is super quality and IMO better than the Aquatexx on my Tempest. It behaves like Aquatexx in that it doesn't sag and stays taught in all weathers, seams are spot on, no leakage and to say it is a Titan it isn't actually that heavy!
The groundsheet on the inner capsule is thick....well thicker than they used to be on Nash bivvies with inner domes that were always made of that cheap nylon type material, it is definitely a proper groundsheet. Having said that though i always use mine with the optional additional groundsheet whether i use the inner dome or not due to swims covered with stone..
Love my Titan, (T1 Camo) and it is my go to winter bivvy. If you add the wrap as well the 3 layer shelter is pure luxury! Not that you really need the wrap with the inner dome....
As for the Typhoon, I wouldn't touch anything made by Cyprinus with a barge pole....and that's from personal experience, mind you there are enough negative stories out there to make your own mind up!

Cheers, I actually couldn't have asked for a better response and you've swayed me to for the Titan!
I have been looking at the additional groundsheets and my swims are very much the same so I'll take a look at getting one as well.
Also, does the flat back perform as intended with it actually sitting tight at the back without touching the sides ? Even with the capsule ?

Flat back is perfect, I have an SS3 and even with the capsule there's no touching the sides...

I have had a Titan T1 (green one) and to be honest, I sold it.
I sold it because I noticed the bag it comes in (made from the same material as the bivvy) had tears in it after very little use and thin parts (as if one of the 2 layers had cracked/come loose from the other) that I could see light through.
Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a very sturdy and quality bivvy, but this made me doubt the quality of the fabric.

Heard that suggestion before but have owned the Camo version and used it for probably 25 nights now and all still fine...I had the original green which too was fine but that went back after about 15 nights due to the notorious fading issue!

Yes maybe it 's nothing to worry about, but seeing that bag in that state, didn' t fill me with great confidence. Saying that, the fabric seemed very robust.

So is the 5000 he on the Titan comparable to the 25,000 aquatexx on the new Trakker Tempest? Or are they different measuring sticks?

I purchased a Titan T1 Camo and it's the first new Bivvy design I've purchased in 25 years. It's not a bad bit of kit, I prefer my powerplus for 2 or more nights and my Nash Canvas and Hog brolly is my regular Bivvy system.
The Titan stripped back offers far more room and isn't to heavy, I am having bags made for the Inner capsule, front panel, hd ground sheet and poles.
As for the material it's reasonable, any heavier and it would render the product a no go for me.
