RS100

For all those in doubt - RS100 will fit (its tight) an 800mm wide Bedchair (flat on pushed to the back) and a standard 550mm x 440mm wide chair . . .

Went for the RS100 in the end as the thought of being limited to some smaller swims was putting me off the 150 . .set it up in the carpark (thanks to Roy at Carpscene Brum for being v helpful in this respect) with a similar width Fox bedchair and the newer version of my SP C Tech Low recliner just to do a quick check. . .the chair will 'fit' at the foot-end of the bedchair and within the zipped opening (just) so I could put my legs out with a zipped door down if necessary. I reckon when set up with pegs properly and under tension / splayed slightly it would prob gain a few more inches . . .

Time will tell - if its a pain I'll be swopping it for a 150 . . either that or buying a social cap!

lol . . .should have kept my Pioneer 150 but was simply not using it enough at the time (plus it was massive and silly heavy). Age catches up with you - knees and back are no longer designed for roughing it on bedchair buddies . . .I'll be buying a Cadac Safari Chef next

Will never ditch the Ultralite however . . .24hr sessions (if I ever return to doing them) it will still be the bivvy of choice based on 'carpyness' alone . . !

😂 Im in the market for a power barrow now as pushing a fully loaded barrow 500 yards isnt for me anymore.

Two things I never thought I'd see, and yet they both appear in the same thread! Belch finally seeing sense / facing reality with the Aqualite and Stuart actually using his gear!

I used my rs150 for the first time on wednesday and its the perfect size for my wide c tec. My mate has the 100 and the 150 is a much better size if you want to put your chair in as well. As mentioned you can angle your bed as its a wide bivvy so will give you even more room for your chair. I went from an aqualite to the 150 as the ultralite had no coverage at the sides with a wide bed in it. The 150 is brilliant.

I've just gone from a Frontier XD to an RS100 and so far am ok for space, I'm 6'3" with metal work in lower back, i did look at the RS150 in a shop and it was very wide, 3.2m I think so opted for the 100. A mate has the RS brolly which is slighlty smaller than the 100.

I've been using the rs150 since release, dne 100s of nights both home and abroad and have yet found a peg it doesn't fit in. I have a flatliner bed with a chair on top and there's plenty of room. I can have barrowbag, bait buckets, stove, bait boat and a chair setup on the floor. I also have the social cap for when my kids come so I can fit 2 beds in front to back with a walk way in between.

The social cap is only 1.2m extension would have to be a realy tight swim to not fit. They are very easy to fit also and makes a big difference on space. For me the 150 just fit my needs for new syndicate otherwise would of gladly kept my 100.

I tried the rs100 for a while and would go with the 150 for this

It was sent back due to an issue with the taped seams, and so because my chair wouldn't fit I went with the rs brolly in the end.

My bedchair is a wychwood tactical plus compact which is 200x80, but I never tried the rs150
