Hey guys.
So after doing a couple of nights last year my little lad wants to step it up this year.
Problem is we can't quite fit 2 beds in my current bivvy with the overwrap on.
He has been fine on the floor or sharing a bed with me but it's time to upgrade now he has tested the waters.
Seen a few cheap looking bivvy like the NGT fortress or carpzilla ones on eBay for less than 200. Also looked on Facebook locally but nothing coming up.
With the need to get another bed chair etc need to keep cost low. Anyone used one of these lleeser known brand ones and got any reports?
We don't need fancy. Just need the space.
Or I could get a widebody bedchair and share for a bit I guess.

Look at the Angling direct website for Advanta , they have a 2 man bivvy for 124.99 on sale.
Don't go for a wide boy and sleep two , go for Independent bedchairs again look at the advanta stuff.

There is a Tempest 200 in the classifieds at £300 and the seller is open to offers. Never seen one myself but by most accounts they are massive and quality will be better than a new Advanta or similar rock bottom jobby

The Cyfish Dome is an excellent quality bivvy. Rock solid and totally waterproof. A shame Chub went by the wwyside.......

Cheers everyone.
I will look at all the options. I am considering seeing if there would be someone local looking for a swap as I have a sonik axs camo with overwrap and realistically I won't need 2 bivvys.
Just gotta work out how much I have budget wise. Realistically don't think the lad will be wanting to overnight it until spring as it's a bit chilly. Where I say lad it's probably me that will feel it more lol.
Forgot how good everyone is on here with recommendations. Thanks again.
