Look at the Nash Blockhouse. Its not actually marketed as a 2 man bivvy but its fantastic as one. Great headroom. Big enough for 2 x wideboy chairs with walking space between the beds, sets up/down in seconds and great for summer due to the huge ventilation windows.

I wouldnt take it out in 40mph mind but doubt your wife would want to go fishing in a storm

I purchased a Titan T1 pro a year ago and only used it once. Always fall back on blockhouse due to how easy it is to setup and space available.

Gonna struggle to find a lightweight 2 person bivvy. They are all quite heavy.

I bought a 2 man last year for taking the lad, Fox EOS 2 Man TT Pro, massive and very light..

The TT Pro has front and rear vents, the standard EOS doesn't.

Seconded the EOS TT Pro. Used one for a couple of seasons now to fish with my son/daughter. Loads of headroom, space for 2 beds with plenty of room in between and a big peak that keep the area around the door dryer. Pramhood style so easy to put up and fits back in the bag easily too.

I also had the Tempest 200. Absolutely huge but it's ridiculously heavy.

I purchased the Tempest 200 to use with wife whilst in France.
Fantastic Bivvy , plenty of room for two beds and so much more.
The head space was a real bonus .
Whilst heavy it's ideal for Foreign trips or extended stays in UK 🇬🇧

If you can find one the Trakker Superdome is nice bit of kit with plenty of room and extra space with overwrap.

Not really a 2 man without the extended wrap, imo.

I've got one - loads of room and easily fit two beds but would be tight if you want a bit more living space without an extension.

I'm also selling it - used twice for £150.

Superdome is way too big for 2 peeps you can fit 4/5 bedchairs in it, Slx/v4 150 is too small

I have the V4 plus, the same size as the SLX V3 Plus and it is perfect for 2 people. If I needed a new 2 man today I would buy the Chub cyfish dome 2 man xxl on Ebay, on Ebay UK they go for £295.27 on Ebay.De the even go for £239.44,

Seller on EBay.De bought a large stock when Chub went bankrupt

Jrc also re-launched the Chub cyfish dome 2 man xxl as: Jrc Cocoon Dome

It's not the lightest bivvy (weight is with innerdome included) but they are very easy to set up and take down. You can literally take the poles apart with two fingers

Fox EOS 2 Man TT Pro with wrap also looks good but i think not in stock anymore , Lucx makes also good 2 man bivvy's (leopard) bivvy's like Nash T2/Trakker 200 are not worth their money considering the price/quality imo

Edit: if 150 height is oke: Quest tacklte mk4 2 man or the Defier Bivvy MK3 with utility front
Are you sure?
