I was going to get a zip in ground sheet brolly/bibby. But tried one out and couldn't get on with it.
Either clip in or velcro for me.

Well I'm guessing the quality control on these haven't been the best, a very good freind has had to send 2 back now. First one due to the main mechanism falling apart and now the pegging elastics around the bottom 3 have come away from the bivvy over the weekend, I seen it with my own eyes none of them were done that tight either but as soon as any tension went into them they ping off

Hopefully, for everyone that's got one, it's not a recurring problem
I can't remember a product being recommended as much without even seeing one as this new generation of copies. Was always the reason people came to the tackle section, unbiased USER feedback

I used mine for the first time over the weekend and and it was great and held firm in 50mph plus winds and I had pegged down tight. The block seems well made I may take the bolts a out and thread lock them as a precaution those nyloc nuts always come loose. I've had them come loose and fall out my tempest brolly and my composite but like said a little bit of thread lock and they have been fine since.

Would you not consider the Quest version which is higher and better design (on paper)?

And a Typhoon Hybrid. Mix of camo and green. I find it amazing that all these companies release something and within weeks bring out other versions of it. Bet the early adopters are really pissed off they didn't have the options, I would be

Im still guessing this new version the front is still inbuilt?.
Wonder why they didn't design this with a removable front , im sure they would of sold a **** load more if they did.
