I've got the camo version of the same bivvy and it's fine. Relatively no frills but easy to set up, plenty of space, fully waterproof and has the vents which are very useful. At the current asking price you won't get anything better

It feels like Solar are going all in on the Uni Spider with the release of that and the SW. Shame as the Undercover is a good quality range at an attractive price point. It also means that I don't think I'm ever going to get the mozzy front for my brolly that I desperately want/need as I get destroyed in the summer months

The margin on carp material is enormous....

Once contacted Korda requesting quotes for stuff because I 'was planning to open a store and needed a business plan to get a loan'.
They replied korda is determining the minimum sales price and based on your orders at korda you get discounts. They also mentioned that a store keeper makes 30-50% profit on every product you sell.

So, this solar bivvy might be sold at break even for the store keeper...

30-50% is not a great retail markup....Good luck operating a profitable business in todays climate on that basis
Are you sure?
