The Lucx Leopard xxl arrived today, already erected in the garden and it is just what I wanted, it's huge. Easy set up 10 mins on my own but a right pig to pack away! Good piece of kit, well it is German after all! Now the bad news, contacted Parcel Force, the delivery agent to be told it would cost £101.54 (Import Duty and Paperwork) extra due to Brexit charges, so be aware if you order any Tackle from the EU that you need to budget for the extra dosh needed.

I have a Lucx Leopard XL on route from Germany as we speak, I will keep the group informed as to what if any extra is charged for import. I have already paid German VAT{MWsT} so I don't think I have to pay our VAT, I will also update the group on this particularly large bivvy, it should be here by Mar 30....Wait Out!

I will do a review, Lucx actually emailed to ask if I was aware that there could be Import Duty to pay and if I wished to continue with the purchase, which I do. I have no idea what the Import Duty will cost, however the German VAT{Mehrvertsteuer} as been added to the bivvy price. Just have to wait and see, Lucx said the end of March for delivery

Alistair, did you have to pay Import Duty?

Agreed, the XXL appeals to me, weight is not a problem as all the venues I fish have peg side parking and large pegs. The next problem would be, do you deal with the shop direct or a second party ie Amazon? I am lucky enough to speak German having lived there for 14 yrs so language is no barrier. Thank you very much.

thanks for that, I like the look of the Lucx XXL, good size, 1.82 height and not too expensive.

Just watched the YT videos on the Tempest, I am impressed with it, this looks like the way to go, only thing I'm worried about is that I prefer a full winter skin but this big boy is favourite at the moment....Many Thanks.

I seriously thought about an ex Army 9x9 Tent, which I used hundreds of times in the service but you need a trailer to transport the damn thing!
All your ideas are considered, any thoughts on the Fort Knox?

I'm looking for a large, tall 2 man bivvy, weight, footprint and price are not a problem{no interest in Ridgemonkey} this is due to hip/back problems for us both. Internal height must be at least 1.7mts

Once the kit is back in stock???

looking at Fox R Series XL 2 man, JRC Extreme TX2 2Man or even MK Angelsport Fort Knox 3/4 Man. but I know nothing about German Bivvies!

We would be grateful for any ideas from you learned Members. Thank you.

P.S. Can you still get the Tracker Superdome?
Are you sure?
