I am looking for suggestions for a compact Bivvy/Shelter. Main feature I am looking for is small pack down size.

Cheers!

Hard to get hold off now but the original fox easy camo shelter perfect set up for tight swims ! Have mine from when they were first released. Still as good as the day I bought it and it's got plenty of abuse , so highly recommend

AD One Night Stand is a great little shelter and packs down small.
I use a compact bedchair in it though as standard size (solar) can be slightly tight

If you can find one of these somewhere it may be good as it packs down to about 60cm x 20cm x 20cm

I use mine mainly as a day shelter on France trips but have slept under it, it will take a bed and some gear

Very hard to find though as I think they stopped making them a few years ago, although I saw a brand new one few months ago and nearly got it for spare.

Easy Shelter Plus are great... Done around 60 odd nights under mine, including a full winter, top bit of kit that is surprisingly solid once up.

Had mine just over a year or so now and it's fantastic for Spring/Summer fishing on short sessions.

One of those compact jobs with the camo trim, maybe Wychwood or Cyprinus? I'm 6'2” tall and whilst it can be slightly graceless getting in and out of the door, if you want small, light, quick then they are very good. Have around 2ft space in front of the bed if I push it to the back of the shelter, which is plenty for me... Anyone who buys one of these and then still takes kitchen sink for everything else is completely missing the point...
Are you sure?
