Thread: Nash Titan Hides

I'm looking at getting a Titan Hide but I'm not sure which one will take my Solar 3D Dura Dore bedchair (208cm long) so that it's flat to the back of the bivvy without the need to angle
It which I hate!
I've looked at videos - one guy said the standard hide took his SS3 with is 4cm smaller than my Dura Dore. Then I saw a video where a guy had the Camo Pro which is bigger than the standard and he showed an SP C-Tech (same size as Dura Dore) and it was tight and touching the sides at both ends.
I've looked at the measurements for the Titans and Nash state a total width and back width,both of which are useless info because if I use the "back width" stated then my bedchair should fit the standard and pro but it clearly doesn't in the videos 🤷"♂ï¸
I don't have a shop close by so that I can go and look soooooooooo…..
Who's got which Titan Hide and what bedchair fits it ?

Sorry I've only just seen this!
I've only used them for singles up to 100yds - being a thicker blank then my 3lb infinities, I thought they'd be less responsive under the tip but I've been pleasanty suprised at the action.
Hopefully they'll get put through their paces this season but so far I like them - £450 for a set of 3 gets you a lot of rod!

I'm looking for a braid for distance fishing 120yds plus. Has anyone used the Spomb braid or can recommend anyother suitable braids?
I noticed that it's rated 0.18 and 20lb - 20lb seems light for distance work?

I bought a Solar 3D Duradore sleep system last summer and its a gamechanger for a decent night's sleep - best £350 I've spent! I never had any issues in the summer sweating but I was on top of the bag in shorts and tshirt

I bought a Solar 3D Duradore wide sleep system last summer to replace my Avid Benchmark Lite as it sagged like hell and played havoc with my back. I can't comment for use in winter as I've not tried it yet but it's the comfiest bedchair I've have and a gamechanger for a good nights sleep, the sleep system seems quality.

Never had any issues with AD. It's worth noting that MyAD Plus members get 1-2 working days for priority orders over £25

Given the recent issues I've had with Solar products, I've been pleasantly surprised by this bedchair!
It was bought as a gift in August and replaced my Abid Benchmark Lite and the two are miles apart - the Dura Dore is far comfier and I've slept like a log everytime I've used it.
The build quality seems fine and the sleep system looks to be quality - obviously time will tell but so far so good!
Getting used to a higher bedchair hasn't been an issue and this offers plenty of room underneath and either end for bags etc.
At 16kg it's not the lightest but certainly not the heaviest and it's sturdy despite having 1 leg at the head end.
It's early days but looks like it's been £350 well spent - it's so comfy my mate ordered one win he saw it on the bank, went back home to collect it on delivery and confessed it was the best night's sleep he's ever had and that it's comfier than his bed!
I'll update at a later date when it's had more use but so far I'm
more than happy with it!

It could be that Nash aren't reordering any until the price of tungsten power is stable.
The price of tungsten power has risen sharply since the start of last year due to China's restrictions on exporting rare metals. In October it was $90/kg and currently it's $160 - many Chinese exporters aren't offering price lists and are only working on day to day prices due to the constant rise in price.
