Put mine up for the first time in the garden today, was a pretty windy day imo and considering it was my first time, it went up really easy, is really solid too, looks like a decent build quality and plenty of room for me (I got the compact version) which does apparently have a better block on than the original chucked the winter skin over it and again seems like a decent bit of kit. Really pleased with my choice after weeks and weeks of research.

From what I have read you can also take the tensio strap off and make the bivvy wider and lower

Bradders.....you wouldn't happen to know how the compact one compares in size to a tempest would you? They look really shallow in the vids but looking at dimensions in theory there should be plenty of room

Bringing this one back up, anyone got an idea of space for the Conpact mondel? I use a Trakker ELS Levelite bed, can you push the bed right to the back of the bivvy like Tempest / Titan??

Also, in the pictures the central block looks like plastic, I presume after your review you feel as if it's pretty well built to last ?

Hahaha are you a JRC rep by any chance?
Well that is a pretty big statement, I've heard good things of Chub bivvies, and I know someone that owned a JRC bivvy for about 13 years, don't know which model though.
I suppose I've just looked past them for some reason even though my dad still uses the JRC oval brolly system which come to think of it is a good piece of kit.....under my nose the whole time and didn't even realise it.

I'm looking at getting a Titan, didn't even consider one of these tbh as never really had any JRC gear but reading everything on here and then looking at it on line it's actually the same kind of design as a Titan and seems to get good reviews, how spacious is it inside, I could save myself some money here if it's a good as all you guys say it is
