Anyone have the Quest Stealth XL Pop Up Bivvy? It looks pretty good, bigger than the Fox pop up one, it has a groundsheet and is only 5.5Kg all in.

I'm looking for a lightweight bivvy as the new club I've joined has some bigger waters with longer walks.

Have you set it up at all Gerry? In the garden for example? Your thoughts having seen it in the flesh, so to speak.

I'd be wary of anything Quest to be honest. There was great excitement on here when they released a cheap Tempest knock off. Then a year down the line people said they leaked like a sieve.

Thanks Dom, that was one of my concerns, don't really know anything about Quest, never had any of their kit, so if I buy one it will come down to quality as everything else like weight, size and design is spot on.

I've just noticed they are selling them on Amazon, it has six 5* ratings. All say it seems like a good quality bit of kit, but they're all very recent reviews so no long term reviews.

Had a Quest bivvy a couple of years ago, think it was call the Defier, stitching was all over the place and it started to come apart on its first trip, cheap for a reason, got sent back for a refund.
Are you sure?
