yes with all the extras in the bundle its not too bad a deal but makes you wonder in a few months time how much more discounted will they get ?
as far as Carpology reviews go
I think they do a VERY good job of explaining exactly what you get with all the shelters
how its erected shows a bed inside etc everything you want to see ?
just dont take any notice of any bull**** chat ?

I wouldn't call anything done by Carpology a review, much more marketing or an overview of the product and they have said as much before (why would people pay them advertising if they then started slagging off the products). As Solar seem adamant not to release the mozzy front for the brolly I may well be looking again at products and the SW version of this looks good as an alternative

Can get a decent package for £749 from tft so not too bad in comparison to others offerings.
Wondering if there are any impartial reviews rather than carpology who dont seem to be able to conduct a negative review on anything

If it takes you more than a minute, you have coordination problems 😂

I don’t get it I think the oval belongs in the 90s I’ve just put up a solar brolly wrestling around trying to get it up then messing around with storm poles there's no way it’s as quick to put up as my tempest it’s just not as good so if the new spider is similar it will be good

Still think after many years a Brolly is the best shelter out there. The Oval Profile Extreme and Hog are the best advances in shelters for us midgets of average height.

Been massively tempted by one of these. Currently using a frontier XD, but like to be mobile when the need arises - the frontier is quite a lump to drag around a lake.
Shame the height is only 140, I feel 150 is the sweet spot personally. Looking at the compact version now as they are on some good offers and also give that extra headroom. Anyone that's got the compact that can comment on the weight/pack down (with the g/sheet & infill all in)?

exactly this. A high end mountain tent will have money spent on light and strong pole materials and great fabrics. A bivvy has some aluminium poles and thick material. It's crazy.

I wonder how much the Korda bivvy will be when released,this solar does look a nice piece of kit

Just been looking on the solar site. Seems that other than the groundsheet and infill, which are model specific, based on the zip in element of the ground sheet, and the D material of the infil, all the accessories are compatible with both models. So that’s the Mozilla infil, the skull cap, and the 2 wraps.
Appears the SP model has newer material with a black out skin, and a few little bits on it, which I suppose, are considered more upmarket.
I’m really liking the way they have gone about this
