Just really after users reviews on either or both bivvies if possible.
I've only ever had one Nash bivvy before, and that was the Hurricane, which was some 20+ years ago, and whilst I didn't look after it greatly (was only a kid when I got it), it still became prone to leakage, after not many uses. Obviously times have changed, materials are a lot better and I'd imagine some manufacturing processes are different too.
I'm kinda set on the Fox Frontier XD, however, I can get the Nash Titan T2 a lot cheaper than it's actual retail price, so this has become an option.
Any opinions, or thoughts are much appreciated.
Cheers

Used the T2 for past 3 years and it's been faultless quality
Solid as a rock in wind as you expect of a Titan.
Material and build is superb

Massive thumbs up for the XD. Had mine for about a year now and it's been flawless. With all the options its superb, I've just come back from a six day session and threw the overwrap on in some really heavy rain. When the sun arrived, stripped it back to basically a summer house with all the mozzie windows down. Best bivvy I've ever owned. I still own a Nash Double top which has served me well over the years so I rate that, but with all the options the XD has it's an amazing bit of kit.

Been using the T2 regularly for two years and can't fault it. Don't know about the Fox. If you can get a really good deal on the Titan I'd take it. Differences in performance will be minimal.
Thanks for the replies chaps.
Seems like it will be a tough decision to make, based on these opinions.

Both won't let you down
Titan is so well made I think it's marginally better overall

I have not tried a T2 but just bought the XD. It's a bit of a lump for moving about but it's easy to put up and loads of room for me and my mutt. Have to say taking it down sees me at a stretch to reach the lever for taking the front down, and I'm 6'1".

I was in the same situation a few weeks back. After seeing the two set up in a shop I decided to go with Frontier XD. Not used it yet but will let you know how it goes

Why did you go for the Fox instead of the Nash?

I was leaning towards the Nash but it's quite a bit lower than the frontier. I like the the height of the frontier and the quality of the material is better.
