I'm waiting for the Camo hide XL
Given up for this season so got a Wychwood Tactical Bivvy for now instead.
They advertised then ages ago so it's poor they aren't in stock yet!!!

I have the hide camo pro which I use for over nighters and a frontier x for longer sessions, without looking at measurements for the standard frontier, my fox duralite doesn't leave much room either end in the hide, the hide drips from the front door toggles in the rain, if you have the groundsheet in, you end up with a nice drips about 12” from the front which is my only gripe. I imagine the standard frontier is heavier and a larger pack down than the hide, If it was me in your situation, I'd go for the frontier

Think I'm leaning towards the frontier what are the materials like on both the camo pro and frontiers ?

Personally I purchased the Titan T1 camo and I own imho the best two iconic bivvies every made. The Nash Canvas coupled with a Nash Hog and a Powerplus Professional.
Again it's opinion, nothing else comes close to the Titan currently on the market and it's taken me 20 years to decide on any worth while Bivvy that comes close to my other two and if I had to have only one it would be my Nash Canvas system. I purchased the Titan for autumn fishing along with its ease of us and no nonsense set up, it really is another Iconic Bivvy
This is why, the Titan stripped down surpasses my Hog all day long as light super strong better coverage and when fully fledged allows me a two man Bivvy that has great height although my power plus may not be as roomy it's still the best One Man Bivvy Ever Made. As light as the Titan and able to have two bed chairs and stand up in and it ain't going to die before any of us.
However I am fortunate to have all three and despite that both the Fox and Hide are decent enough so is the Wychwood offerings that's personally I'd considered 5 year Warranty and decades of being a decent manufacture.
None are perfect I've had to do a little DIY and TLC on them, if looked after they can last a long time.
Now the one important factor that you really need or bare in mind is your ability to dry it off. I use my Brolly which I can stand in a corner my Powerplus is as bad as my Titan as I will dry the off before I store them. My brolly is by far the least hassle, stand it in a corner and it dries simple as and that gentleman provides longevity imho.
