Great comparison guys, I have the Frontier X and love it, best bivvy I have owned. Only problem I have had was sorting out how to use the door letter box style, couldn`t work it out until someone else showed me how to configure the zips. He had the same problem when he first used his.

Thanks for the view, support and great feed back, I'm Glad you enjoyed it.... (assuming you did 😂) I love my frontier X, I can see where the confusion can lie with the zips if you've not had them before like it. Hopefully you've managed to waste some time with the other videos. 😁👍

I cannot believe you didn’t even talk about the speed of putting the tracker up which for me is the main advantage. And yeah all these square sided frames, lovely on a nice day but catch a gale so badly. I just use the brolly and throw a full overwrap on if it’s going to be bad weather. That gives you 2 layers to stop condensation, makes the inside black for a nice day sleep and to keep the inside cooler in the sun even without vents. The overwrap just has loops for existing pegging points so is on and off so fast. A much cheaper way of getting a fast up bivy with the advantages of a full bivy system or you can just add a porch to the front of the fast up brolly again to be fully enclosed at night but with much more space in front. Nowhere near the £900 quoted here either.

How long does each take to set up please? Interested in all but really cannot be done fannying about when I want to set up or pack down fast and move.

@BeardedBurbler 5 ай бұрын

My frontier takes around 5mins max from dropping the bag on the floor to putting my bed in. Maybe an 30secs if you use the ground sheet. James's tempest takes a little longer but that may just be him.. 😂 Pack down around the same time. Thanks for the view, hope you managed to subscribe and watch a few others. Thanks again for the support 👍👍

Now is the time to grab the market leading award winning tempest bivvy 100. Just paid 640 for mine with the wrap brand new with warranty. Had tempests since the first silver pole version and never had a problem. The fox one is cheaper as it’s cheaper made. Nothing else will ever be a patch on the tempest whatever tempest you buy.

@gf845 7 ай бұрын

Also be aware they are cheaper now than ever as the updated tempest comes out next spring

@BeardedBurbler 7 ай бұрын

There's no denying the tempest is an amazing bit of kit, depends on the individuals budget. 👍

@aarondavies8486 5 ай бұрын

Funny they are all made in the same factory in china and they all use the same materials 420d polyester as now sonik avid and prologic do one and they even better as you get a inner capsule and skull cap with the new sonik one and the avid and prologic you get a mozi door and skull cap and a inner vapour shield don't have to buy anything separately and their prices are like 500 quid for everything all your paying that extra 200 quid for a tempest is the trakker badge 😂and the trakker have so many problems that's why there is so many other companies sells spare and upgrades for the tempest b3cause trakkers customer service is the worst ill n3ver buy anything trakker again as its all Chinese tat so don't matter what you buy now its all made in the same factory

I don't have a tempest 100 but I have a good look at them a few years ago along with the nash T1 build quality is better on the T1 although the T1 gives you more room but it's still not too big and comes with a built-in peak no ground sheet though as it comes with a capsule the ground sheet only cost £60 ish as for strength I've been fishing in wind up to 65 mph in a storm a few years ago I think that's what the phone app said and didn't move one bit I've since then got a frontier XD brilliant for a weeks carping and the T1 has been replaced with the T1 camo pro which does come with pockets but only in the capsule still no ground sheet though as for height the frontier XD and the T1 pro are about the same as for the material the T1 is very slightly better in my opinion I've heard about the problems with the frontier but I've had none the best bivvy in my mind is the T1 the lightest is the tempest but it is smaller though so it should be but is still a very good bivvy though but not for me a great video though lads

@BeardedBurbler 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the support and the comment, some great insight there. There's no doubt the T1 is the master when it comes to strength. In my opinion I thing thr frontier is best for value as you get everything you need and no need to buy extras, like a ground sheet etc. Hope you manage to watch a few more. 👍👍

I have just got the new titan camo Pro 2023 one with the door that you can stand in its amazing but now I have come to find the new 2024 sonik is game changer get everything for 500 quid same materials as all the fox and trakker but get inner capsule skull cap and the ground sheet everything don't have to buy any extra they all made in the same factory to in China

@BeardedBurbler 5 ай бұрын

Trakker isn't cheap, but great kit. James has a sonik before but the groundsheet never fitted properly if I remember.. Thanks for the support 👍👍

Decent bivvy mate, nothing against them at all, frontier X is probably around the same internal size and for the price it's a frontier X for me, have you looked at the frontier XD. Think it's classed as 1.5man- 2man I think. That one is more than big enough for a week. I've done a few 4 day sessions in the frontier X with one of my dogs and had plenty of room. Good luck in your choice mate and thank you for your support. 👍👍

Your right mate it is better and the new avid and 2024 sonik are better and only 500 quid don't have to buy anything separately

How to you feel about plastic poles?

@BeardedBurbler 7 ай бұрын

Bit personal!! 😁 The boss is plastic as is the sockets but the poles are ally, but tbf the centre boss feels good as do the sockets, all plastic deteriates over time but each item is available from the spares. If that's what you 🤔
