That's right I reckon best way to describe it for the op,is

Mk2 Armo,with peak and five break pole..

(This version also used the new 'tex'material'at that time and remember vividly having issues with tape sealing on all three of the ones I had,it was difficult to get the tape to seal in this new wonder material,..at that stage.I bet Eric's angling dreaded my phone calls..lol

Sounds like the one ,he's bought is fine tho

Think that was also the period when the bivvies were being made in China but they carried on putting the union Jack on and they got rumbled and had to get quality control sorted.

Yes,I heard something about that as well..

(I then bought the so called budget non peak mk1 copy called a Specimen armo,I said to my wife this is rubbish,it won't last a year,I was wrong ...it lasted 8 years and never leaked one bit)..

I've had a few bivvys I have,wasted far to much money,kind of embarrassed really..Still I don't drink or smoke 😐..

16mm poles and bits of green cloth...🧠less
