Hi I'm looking for a 1 man plus size bivvy that's big enough to fit a nash wide sleep system and all my gear in and still have enough space to move around comfortably in and has enough headroom so i can sit upright on my bedchair (I'm 6 ft). That's quick to set up and pack down. That's reliable and good quality that I can use all year round in all weather and will last the test of time . That doesn't suffer to much from condensation and has good ventilation for summer.
My max budget is around £750 but change out of that would be nice.
Can any one suggest a bivvy that fits all of my above needs please?

I've been very impressed this last year with the Tempest 100t brolly. It fits my wideboy and all my kit and goes up and down fast. It's 150 high .
But you say you want a bit more room? A one man plus,
Then I suspect its the Tempest 150 for you. 145 high
But wider and deeper than the 100. I imagine goes up.and down just as fast as mine. Bit over budget. You can add a skull cap later when funds allow. I just got the cap and it packs up.and down just as quick.

Tempest, Typhoon, Titan or Frontier......take your pick...... 
I really like the look of the frontier xd and is packed full of extra features. Do any frontier xd users on here have any issues with condensation ? I currently have the typhoon and the poles are terrible on it.

They just kept on snapping. I must admit cyprinus customer service was really good though they replied to my emails really quick and sent replacement poles out next working day. Just looking for something more reliable now.

T1 titan will do everything you need. In it now actually. If you choose the Titan buy the heavy duty groundsheet. I have had no issues and it gets heavily used in all conditions.
