That's the only issue I have is the rain dripping down into the front, I could zip it up but as I've never zipped a door up I'm not gunna start now. I just keep a towel at the front to keep it from accumulating. But other than that it's a great bit of kit(bag is the exception) I just got my Mrs to knock up a bigger bag with a full length zip which makes life easier when it's put away wet.

Never noticed an issue mate the front is quite high so if you get a good wind and rain you need to zip the front panel in. Apart from that it's been superb

Used one for around a year never had an issue never used storm poles either been in the teeth of gusts up to 50mph and it never looked like it had an issue. It's an ugly looking thing in my opinion but that's not why I brought it. It's fairly light huge amounts of room and goes up in less than a minute. I would buy again 👍🏼

Any further reviews on the poles snapping etc? Any other issues after long term use?

Cheers

Had my xl about a year and love it .Height is perfect for me and loads of room .Previously had the tempest air which I did like but it was too low for me .What I also love with the hide is I can get so much more gear in with the bedchair right at the back .I can also get a chair in to the side and 2 bivvy tables the other side whilst it doesn't have a big footprint .It's great for quick sessions whilst big enough for longer stays .Rapid and easy to put up .The only downside for me is the short back pole .If you can't get a realy solid peg point it pops out when the others go in tight .I sometimes have to use a really long peg on crappy ground

Currently sat in mine. Its huge. I've got a fox voyager bivvy and honestly I think once the bedchair is pushed right to the back of the hide xl there's not much difference in space in the front half. Went up easy, however personally needs the front infill for me. Unless you're well over 6ft and sit high up on your bedchair I think the standard hide will be ample. I have a fair amount of headspace I'm not using here

Nah mine is ok on level ground... as has been said I reckon it's the way to set the height at the front correctly

There is a video showing how to set up the normal hide. It says the short rear pole lifts the peak up and provides tension when pegged. Presume the same applies for the XL.

do you have any issues pegging it on level ground because where I go tends to be fairly level? lot taller than I was imagining it to be but then that's why I bought It I suppose

I suppose it may be because most banks are slightly sloped towards the water...either that or they are encouraging you to peg the back centre pole in then really extend the storm poles very hard to give the Titan it's strength ?
Other than that I can't think why..mine is the same btw

back pole on any Titan is always a bit short

how come this is part of the design? I had mine up in the garden briefly and it just would not peg down at all. admittedly I had one other peg in and the tension strap wasn't connected but surely that wouldn't make that much of a difference. its a very tight fit getting it all together which i'm presuming means it's stable
