Hi Neil

Had mine for about 3 and a bit years , udder regularly summer through to winter

Nothing has leaked, torn ,broken or worn out (I brought a spare groundsheet when new , still in its box ). The adjustment mechanism works as well as it did when new

Light, easy to set up and put away as the bag is a good size , cant fault it really

The only little niggle is that it suffers from condensation if its cold and you are all zipped up but all small single skin shelters I've ever used have been the same

Overwrap sorts that out and is again really easy to fit even though its only available in camo and the bivvy is green

Very good quality in my opinion , highly recommended

TALL Fat Stanley here and I agree completely with the wider bedchair frames much more comfy
I am curious about :

"......95cm wide bag and a 90cm wide bed isn't a great combo, unless your name is Flat Stanley...."

I would have thought that a 95cm bag (not sleep system) is exactly the same space wise on what ever width bed its put on?

The reason I ask is that I'm thinking about the bed and have a Fortis bag which I love but cant use with my Fox Flatliner as the bed is too long for the top and bottom sleeves

I had the non SP one that's supposed to be softer.
Even with a Helium 3.8 SIM I still got sore hips and legs...... now got a Flatliner which I have no trouble with
I'm 6'4" and weigh well north of 20 st which probably doesn't help haha!!
You did ask though !

I noticed its one of the few bivvys that doesn't use Storm poles. Do you find its OK in windy weather ?

Thanks for all your help in this .Looks great, time to find a deal on an Ultralite now

Hope someone can help

I have had to buy a Fox Flatliner which is 215 long trouble is it will not fit in my Solar Compact Spider without it pushing the sides away quite badly...the bivvy states 250 wide but slopes back and is much tighter at the back

I like the look of the Ultralite but am not sure whether the bedchair will fit in it without pushing the sides...its supposed to be 245 but doesn't seem to have the sides sloping back as much

I've looked at the old threads but cannot find any mention of this bedchair being used in this bivvy

Longshot maybe but does anyone use this combo or know of anyone who does ?

Your help would be much appreciated before I blow a lot of money and find myself in exactly the same position as now

If it does fit then there will be a Solar Spider in the classifieds very soon

After a year or so I can strongly recommend this , very compact light
