Not likely, they haven't been made for a long time and they weren't very reliable bivvies anyway

There's a couple on eBay
Buy one as a spare if you really want to keep going with that one

In fairness, you were forewarned not to buy one of these as they are both discontinued and rubbish..

Sad to say you have very little chance of getting a spare part for those rubbish bivvys possibly the worst bivvy ever made we did warn you

i love my force8 bivvy - had it 20 years - quick to put up and integrated groundsheet keeps the rodents out .. i dont use it now but my 17 year old son does !!

The integrated groundsheet won't keep them out if they really want to get in! That's a myth . They will chew their way in if something is attractive enough

It always surprises me that this bivvy gets so many bad reviews, other than the size of its bag, which made it difficult to put away, I never had a problem with mine. There was a knack to putting it up but it wasn't exactly difficult. I got a good few years out of mine before the fibreglass arms softened.

Years ago 4 swims were occupied on a long straight bank with very little cover just open fields I was in an STI my mate had a Stealth brolly and a guy with a force 8 then cant remember bu think the next guy had a trakker shelter
anyway the next morning we had a storm strong winds and heavy rain
and the poor sod in the force 8 pile of poo had his new shelter completely destroyed while the 3 other shelters all exposed to identical conditions were not affected in the slightest
and since that time I have heard of so many others
I still have a similar shelter a Fox Easy dome and thats in a different class completely
