Rule 1 of canvas tents was , don't touch the tent . Don't give water an ingress point.

I’ve had a couple of bivvies where you can see light through the stitching/pin holes and neither leaked. I like the look of the Wychwood one because of the height - 150cm. Can’t be doing with crouching down to look out from the bedchair

Many years ago I had a Pioneer Ultralight with what looked liked a cluster of pin holes .... Trakker didnt want to know, and to be fair it never leaked as long as i had it

I've had a look around and have only found a total carp video on it, I don't know if wychwood actually have a media team as it's all 1min teaser clips without showing you the actual product.
I guess we'll see it on the black Friday sales at TFT for £299

Yeah that was my one, looking on the Nash FB page it seems a common occurrence.. some pics I've seen have been horrendous but I guess it's how you dry/pack away/treat your tackle

Didn't someone recently write about this same occurrence with a Nash (?) shelter ? They said it was not as issue, just the light shielding loss...

I've been a long time advocate of Wychwood gear, had a MHR brolly and overwrap which I loved. Top quality piece of kit which I wish I still had. So I didn't hesitate to buy their compact tactical bivvy and overwrap.

A couple of months ago I used the bivvy without the overwrap - the first time I had used it without the overwrap. And found out it had loads of tiny pin holes in it. These were not visible when it was used with the overwrap so I've got no idea how long they'd been there. Bivvy is only 2 years old, I contacted Wychwood who didn't want to know. Last thing I buy from them.

Sorry, slightly off topic, but worth knowing.

Anyone got one and used it a fair bit and can give an honest opinion?
