Just wanted to know if anyone has had both is the standard Nash hide a lot smaller than the v2 tempest brolly thinking of getting one for days I find the v2 a bit big

I have both and used the Hide for first time last night and its great bedchair goes right to the back plenty of space in the front its a great design that's the only flaw with the tempest is the space between bedchair and back of bivvy the hide is a big thumbs up from me

I've recently bought a Hide Camo Pro and was torn between that and a Tempest brolly, so spent a day driving between various tackle shops to see them in the flesh, eventually seeing them side by side.
There's not much in it as far as I can remember. I actually wrote the dimensions down somewhere too before I saw them but from memory, the Hide is slightly smaller but it's really not by much (well, I didn't think so anyway).

You are nothing with those dimensions because the Nash and Trakker are completely different models V back / sides vs Flat back a Tempest without an Oval bed is a huge difference
Even with a flat back bivvy you gain alot space with a oval bed, In the Frontier topic you can see a picture of me XD vs T150 even though the XD is 45cm less deep, you hardly lose any space because of the flat back on the XD compared to the T150

Sod that for a day shelter

Ok so just to throw a spanner in the works.
Why not just buy one of the cyprinus fast and light brolly clones. That's what I use for days. Big enough for a chair and gear. Plenty of cover. Weighs nothing. Goes up in seconds. Drys in no time.
Why buy a bivvy type shelter for days only??

That's why I suggested the fast and light as they are a lot smaller than an oval.
