Anyone had one of these? Looking to get one second hand but not particularly sure about it yet, as well looking at the sonik axs bivvy. Any advice would be much appreciated

It's a great short session shelter. Would recommend a skull cap though, gives extra coverage and reduced condensation

I've had the v1 air for years and love it . To be honest the last couple of years it's just been used winter time with a wrap 👍

Had a v1 air now got a v2 air, its a brilliant shelter and despite owning a pioneer, a tempest xl, fast and light, m3 the air is the one I use most often as floor space is ample
Aquatexx is great, set up time is rapid and get army Andy to make you a front and you'll have all bases covered.
I rarely use the front unless its driving rain but it is a god send when it is, add a skull cap and youve got a shelter for all year use

The air was an amazing shelter, great fabric compared to a nylon or cheaper bivvy.
Better than a brolly in my eyes, as it's light and compact and just as easy to set up.
My only negatives was the fact it had no front, so I was using the overwrap when the weather turned bad and there was no vents.. in the summer you needed this.
From the air I got the Nash camp pro hide XL.. ticked all the boxes for me

Had one, loved it. It's essentially a tempest bivvy but without a front panel and no windows. Bit cheeky that Trakker referred to it as a bivvy, it's clearly a day shelter. As previous peeps have mentioned, it used the nice breathable Aquatex type material as opposed to the plasticy/nylon stuff that the Tempest brolly was made from.
They'll be like rocking horse poo now, and well used undoubtedly show the usual issues like bleached material, scratched poles and frayed elastic.
I sold mine whilst still in mint condition to make way for a newer Tempest v2 XL bivvy. I use my new bivvy with the front panel off so it's essentially the same thing but with a couple of windows at the back.
