Hey guys! Glad to be back online!

I'm looking into tall square bivvies and have narrowed it down to either:

- Nash Blockhouse
- Solar Quick Up Shelter V2

I'm 6ft 8" and currently using a Tempest 100T which is fine but on longer sessions my back is not coping.

Any thoughts from anyone who's owned these would be really helpful.

Thanks guys!

Not quite the same, but I have recently acquired the camo blockhouse pro. Pros- goes up quickly, loads of room and height. While it may not go in tight swims, the footprint is pretty compact. The main and best difference in the camo pro is that you can open the sides and back completely when it's really hot. It's also a bit more than the others you mention, but can be bought for less if you shop around.
Cons... it's heavy and probably suited to session fishing amd not suitable for overnighters/quick sessions. Apart from the mozzie door, there's no 2 way zips.You also need a lot of space to erect it as the legs need to unfold. Trakker have also released 2 gazebo like bivvies, both are bigger than the standard Nash ones. I also think Fox are releasing one soon.... saw one in the background of the voyager clip.
In the end, I decided on the blockhouse pro as it's better value from my point of view. Comes with a really good quality groundsheet, internal condensation cap and 20k HH material with a dark lining. Also has a variety of door options including a clear door.
