I looked at these, but decided to go with the solar uni spider instead.

There's a great video of this bivvy, far better than most reviews, I get the guy is affiliated/works with Prologic, but still a good watch if you are interested

They look good price wise, seeing as everything is actually included.

Same here. As much as I like the look of the Solar Uni Spider and I know Solar gear is quality, I struggle to justify paying £200-300 extra on a very similar package (when you look at the add ons you get as standard with the Sonik). Would want to see one in the flesh though as c.£500 is still a wedge to pay on a bivvy without seeing it first hand

Hi,
I've just ordered one of these as I also like the fact that it comes with everything, especially the full mozzie front.
The front opening is also very wide providing a brolly type view from the bivvy if the front is zipped off.

thanks to daz_83 for the youtube link, very informative and well done video

Couldn't find hardly anywhere online with stock.

TFT had 4 and when I double checked that this was accurate with their helpdesk they offered an additional 10% off so total I have just paid is 476.99

Neil.

Put a review on here if you can once you've used it. I like the look but would he great to get a user review as well as the online videos I have seen about it. I've seen a few at the price you paid, of good quality definitely getting reasonable value for money (still struggle to say that about a bivvy with a straight face)

Apologies for not doing a review yet, work has been busy.

I've used it around 10 nights now an I love it

Its very spacious for me, coming from an old trakker tempest composite bivvy. still use that for overnighters but I fish another water a long way from home so only go for 3-4 nights at a time and it was starting to feel a bit claustrophbic especially in winter.
Really spacious inside and high.
The open fronted aspect is the best thing for me, you get a massive view like fishing back under a brolley but with acres of space inside.
Full mossie screen is a must for me as the older I get the worse the reaction i get to mossie bites.
I like the fact that you get everything included. I will use it all so saves the phaff of buying bits seperately.

Build quality seems very good, like the zip in groundsheet. Zips are heavy duty and are quiet.
Easy to put up and take down.
This is the first bivvy I've had with vents and this has been great in the hot weather.
Thought the vapour sheild might be a gimmick and didn't think I'd use that much but actually works.
Very happy with this purchase, bring on the winter.

Thanks for this. TFT have this on sale for £440 now so I think I'm gonna take the plunge.
I've been looking for something to replace my V2 Tempest Brolly and this ticks all the boxes for me.

With my second Titan hide pro Xl going back to total fishing tackle with the same fault as the first, I also think I'm gonna go for the Prologic
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
