So been looking at the Trakker Armo V4 but cant find any in stock anywhere.

What do you guys think is the best out there at the moment.

Thanks
Brent

All depends what you want from one and is weight/dimensions a major factor?

The avid dual takes some beating from seeing one down a lake

TItan T1 Camo imho, I have a power plus and Nash Hog and Canvas and really didn't need another Bivvy however I've looked at others for years and last year took the jump and it's fantastic. Stripped down to full blown it covers everything my other two offer.

Not bothered about cost for the right one. Would prefer a two man just for space.

Got a cyprinus typhoon at the moment and dont like the quality at all. Also leaks.

Cheers

What is best ? Everyone had their own personal taste so what works for one might not work for you.

Ive been using the cyprinus typhoon for over a year now pretty much every weekend that we have been allowed out and it has never let me down once. I was out in 57 mph winds and heavy rain last night and it was fine. If yours leaks why have you not just sent it back or got it repaired?.

The Kampa air bivvies would take some beating - I'm sure the inflatable concept isn't for everyone. A shame they are no longer being made, sure you could still picl one up though.

The only downside I can see is the weight and size - fine on a barrow but wouldn't fancy carrying one any great distance.

I was out for the last three nights in that storm. Fair play didnt budge at all but was dripping inside.

I'll be completely honest I don't think there is a “best” bivvy out there just because everyone is looking for something different. I absolutely love the trakker tempests in my eyes it's the best and can't be beaten but then I also have another bivvy for when my daughter comes with me (slx v3) I will be selling this now the social caps are out though. My friends all have them own favourites aswell nash Titan, fox frontier, fox r series, trakker armo v4, Aqua etc....

The point I'm trying to make is not everyone is the same and we all have our preferences mate just look for something you want and like 👍

100% agree with this - there are so may variables from cost, size, weight, material etc. you have something for everyone. It's just about working out what matters to you, and finding which offering ticks as many boxes as possible.

I think that's why so many of us end up owning multiple shelters - either that or it's just a bit addictive!

Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping to get a armo v4 but cant seem to get one anywhere. I think.I am going to take a look at the slx v3. What are the main differences between the two.

Thanks
Brent
