Hi Guys,

Looking for views from anyone who has one please, specifically how do they find the footprint and the height (I use a Solar SP c-tech mk1 bedchair) I do have an Aqua M4 Armo which is fantastic but looking to supplement with the smaller compact version for tighter swims.

Thank you

Thought the m3 range had been discontinued ?
Or are you looking at the secondhand market?

I had the cyprinus copy (think it was called an M4 by them?) up until earlier this year, exact same dimensions, material etc, just a different badge. You'll fit the bedchair inside ok but they are snug. I used it for trips abroad and with the extended overwrap was able to take the front off and create some extra room, the height was my only reason for moving it on. It was low, i think 125cm at its highest, a week of ducking in and out of that and my old knees were wrecked!

They will fit a Solar bedchair in them but not much leg room left.

I had the carbon compact which was the same bivvy but with carbon poles. They are great for tight swims and if you are mobile. The compromise is inside room and head height are tight.

I loved mine for summer sessions where i was moving swims a lot
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
