My bivvy must be getting on for ten years old. It's a Trakker Tempest Air V2 with Army Andy infill.
It's perfect. Very light, very quick to set up and take down, and quality is superb. But it's starting to show its age. I'm completely out of the loop with what's available now, but can anyone recommend a replacement?
Must be as light and as quickly to set up, have removable front infill, and overwrap for occasional use.
Cheers

The tracker rs models are the quickest to put up.
I've got the rs150 as I do longer sessions but it isn't exactly lightweight but I have a power barrow so weight not an issue for me. The rs brolly and rs100 are obviously smaller and lighter

have a look at the tempest 100 brolly V2 - very similar to yours with options for the extra's that you might need - your existing groundsheet / overwrap may still fit it

Solar spider compact. Best bivvy I've ever owned.

Take the fabric off the poles and ask AA to make a new one.
I've the air V2, bought it as a replacement for my Fox Evo. The only reason I'd replace it is for more height.

I've just remembered I bought an unused second Air V2 off a poster from here years ago as back up. Must be buried deep in my garage somewhere. Hope it's still okay. It will be in the bag so should be I guess. I may as well just get AA to make another infill and I can use my old over wrap which has hardly had any use.

Cygnet cyclone 100's selling for a little over £100.
Judging by the vids, it looks the same as the old pioneers with a lighter fabric and composite poles.
