I bought one of these in green. Amazing bit of kit for the money. Had loads of bivvies over the years.
It's ready to peg out in 30 seconds out the bag. Nice wide door. Black out material if you need that.
Had it out in downpours and the built in peak is a game changer. Doesn't pool rain at the front.
Not used groundsheet yet. Had the wrap for winter.
Amazing value assuming it lasts

I've had issues with mine. The front poles are tight and it's split the fabric getting them in. Also 2 of the side poles are a nightmare to click in place and to breakdown. I'm guessing this is all down to the materiel being too tight in places.
I've contacted the retailer today.
I used it for 2 nights in heavy rain.
Thoughts...
Bag is long but well designed with compartments.
Built in peak is superb.
Skull cap pools water at front so drips constantly in heavy rain.
Suffers from condensation with skull cap on still.
Door is great if needed
Groundsheet with flap is decent in muddy weather.
Going to see what my retailer says but not sure if I want a replacement tbh

Either the Titan Hide camo pro XL or the Trakker 100t. The XD is decent but it ain't lightweight and the bag is twice the size of these.

I ordered one of these too which arrived this week. Paid an extra £3 and it can packaged with a small tripod.
I agree with Gerry, no different to the V5. Perfect

Superb mate. Ive had one for 18 months, use it fishing and dog walking, lightweight, breathable and quick drying. Need to get a size up though as its quite fitted.

Hi mate. I had this issue with the black ones. It happened to me a couple
Of times. I had a feeling it was when line had got behind the spool. It let me cast out then jammed when I starting reeling in. On one occasion the clip that goes in the runner snapped off. Daiwa fixed it free of charge. I've not had any issues for a few months now. Probably more likely to happen after a respool.
