Well I'm not sure. I have a mate who reckons it's done well, and that the £200 to make it 'brand new' again is a bargain. I'm less convinced about that, and I still think there's a design fault with the water run-off. But until it started leaking it was absolutely the dog's danglies—apart from being heavy. If you reckon an extra spend of £200 per three years is okay (just over £1 per week/session) then I'd say go for it. But if you want to spend your cash and be sure it will last for maybe five years plus, based on my experience I don't think it will.

So I bought a Camo T1 Pro back in summer of '23 when they were first released. I bought it for two reasons: (1) the inner capsule—I have a bad allergic reaction to most bites and wanted the inner capsule to keep bug life to a minimum, and (2) I wanted something taller than most bivvies so that I could get dressed/stand up without having to perform the 'crab dance' on my bed chair. And it has achieved both of those splendidly.
However..... some negatives
1. It weighs a ton when wrapped up with the inner dome. And it's a bit of a fight to fold and pack into the carry-bag.
2. Although I love the extended peak/porch, the design is really poor. Instead of channeling water down to the side gutters it almost always pools in the centre of the porch--see point 3 below. It may well be that if it was erected on a totally flat piece of ground that wouldn't be the case, but the lakes I fish don't have that benefit and the pooling has been a constant issue.
3. It leaks. It leaks somewhere along the porch/main bivvy seam. I've sealed every seam with tent repair sealant, taped every seam and fabsilled all around it and I just can't stop the leak. I am sure that the constant pooling hasn't helped this. Now to be fair the leak drips into the doorway area and nowhere near my bed, but a constant 'drip, drip...' all night is pretty disconcerting.
4. There are loads (loads) of pin ***** holes all over the main canvas that are only visible when the bivvy is erected. I don't think they are leaking, but I have a suspicion that they will soon. But they let in light which is a shame because otherwise this is a lovely dark bivvy.
Now to be fair I have used the bivvy a lot. A couple of nights a week on average for three years. But I treat it well, have always dried it out when I get home and I don't think it should have deteriorated like this. Nash support have sold me a new main canvas for £200 which essentially gives me a brand new bivvy again. But in the meantime I've also bought a Solar Spider Worldwide FS 1.5, which has a zip in groundsheet, is quite tall and a lot lighter than the Titan. I've used that a few times now and will use it as my summer bivvy. It will be interesting to see if I feel the need to revert back to the heavier Nash one once the cooler/wetter days return in the autumn.
All in all it's good, but not without its faults and I do object to having to fork out £200 after just three years of use.
Hope that helps.

I had the t1 camo pro and sold it. I bought it because I liked the idea of the inner dome. It was a very good biv but too heavy and cumbersome for me.
Moved onto a Hide XL pro and never looked back.
IMO when you factor in the cost, footprint and weight I think the Hide XL pro is the best bivv you can buy. I paid £220 for mine with the infill (TFT were selling the green ones cheap in the summer). It weighs 8 kilos. It can take a wide solar bedchair and I can get my solar sp c-tech sofa chair in too side on. Ive had it out in recent storms and it doesn't budge and it's never let a drop of rain in.
I'm considering buying the standard size too for my weekday overnighters as it's the same weight (or even lighter) as most brollys and I can still use my wide bedchair!
My only complaint with the hide is Nash never did a skullcap for it. Tbf the vapourshield does do what it says on the tin though.

Should be able to report back.
Hope this isn't a mistake but ordered the T1 Camo Pro.
If my Hide had the zip in groundsheet I would have kept that as it's awesome but had a few rivers running through when on a slopey swim and also a few unwanted wildlife.
If Nash did a zip in groundsheet version I wouldn't bother with the T1 Pro tbh.

For what you get nothing comes close for that money. Can only mean they are releasing a new model soon surely as that is silly cheap

Currently £500 on TFT, tempting me
|
|

|

I'm just guessing, but presumably given the price of the T1 seems to be being slashed, there's a new one coming? Anybody got any ideas of if a new one is coming?

I have the previous t1 in camo best bivvy I've ever owned like said in previous posts it is on the heavy side

Very very tempted, don't know what to do

Its a good bivvy, I've had mine a couple of years now with no issues. A few of friends have OLD t1/2's and they are still going strong.
The only ting I would say is the inner capsule is a bit of a pain in the arse when packing up..but I have just removed mine for now.

I have one and its an epic bit of kit imo. For a fat guy with a bad back love the extra head room. It looks great sets up relatively quickly and has enough space for longer session. Its on the heavier side but you can make that a lot lighter if you remove the inner dome etc. For me the weight isnt a problem. I have had mine now since release over a year ago and material still like new.(I do have the additional hd ground sheet to keep it clean and also use a blockhouse if I need to work from the bank).
All in great bivvy if the height/size is what you are after

Thanks, appreciate the reply's 👍

Way back since the titan AS brolly was a current model almost every Nash shelter you see for sale second hand has ripped or torn mesh that the poles go trough !
I'd rethink

I would wait a little bit,rumours are Nash are in trouble financially.The shops might be selling these off cheap soon
|
|
|

Was just wondering if anyone has had this bivvy any length of time,and could give some feed back on it, any issues etc.
I like the look and spec of it, but have never had a Nash shelter before.
The only thing I am slightly concerned about is that the material that the poles thread through looks to be made from mesh.
Many thanks👍
