Is it a slx v3 I have a 2 man as I need my space and think it's a fantastic bivvy but as soon as I bought it I got rid of the capsule as I didn't like look or think I would use it

I used to have one a couple years ago. I never had any issue with the size of it. My son used to sleep in the back of it behind my bed chair. I only sold it as I wanted something bigger so he could have a bed rather than the floor

I have the Slx v4 plus, if you don't have an oval bed the space in a Slx 1 man (v100) will be very small with the inner capsule even without the inner capsule...(for me the inner capsule is a big plus)
Imo grap the 2 man or a Fox frontier X/Xd, there is a Frontier X+ now (extra inner capsule option)

Thanks but I don't fancy a 2 man i have the chance of getting the v3 at a good price and I wouldn't pay the price of the frontier

Yes pretty easy to wrap up and put back into the bag with it still attached.

I bought an slx 100 last year, as I wanted a bivvi with an inner capsule too, I love mine and the extra hassle of putting a groundsheet down every time is well worth it for the added comfort.
It's easy to set up and take down with the inner capsule in, you just have to unclip the front toggles on the inner capsule to pack away and do them back up when you set up. The bag is a good size too and the bivvi fits easily into it even with the inner capsule attached.
I've gone from no ground sheet at all for the last 30 years to groundsheet and inner capsule, wouldn't change back , the only downside is if you want a quick move but other than a brollie only most bivvi's require a bit of time to take down quickly.
