Hi All,

 

Anyone know what the best quick errect bivvy is for up to £100.

 

May consider a brolly system with sides, mainly for day sessions but might do the odd overnighter.

 

Want something Tallish at least 1.4m high to be able to sit in in my chair.

 

Had a quick look at the JRC Roamer and Daiwa Mission overnighter, not actually seen them in the flesh.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I used to used the Nash brolley - can't remember the name of it now, but that was pretty good and comes with sewn in storm sides. You can also buy front 'in fill' panels should you want the option of extra protection at night. I now use the trakker big Z but I think that is outside your price range, although an excellent product.

Hi Lee,

 

I've been doing a bit of phoning around this morning seeing what shops recommend.

 

Think I'm going to go for the Nash 60" Oval Profile Special.

Managed to get it including Ground Sheet, Storm Poles zip on sides, pegs etc for £100.

 

Anyone got anything bad to say about it.???

 

Apparently it fold up quite nicely to go into a holdall aswell??

That was probably the one I had - I had no problems with it for years, it just started to leak slightly as it got old (like they all do).

P.S. I've probably still got the old front for it somewhere

I use the fox evolution classic, it has a ground sheet you can get.

 

It does`nt have a front but i have brought a tarporlin and made me own, its great. Have even used it in the mid of febuary it took every thing that was thrown at me.

Hi Lee,

 

I actually went for the JRC Stealth Brolly with Zipped front.

 

Only problem is it leaked.!!!!

 

Going to take it back to the shop, did like it but just don't fancy getting wet.

 

Don't know if I should get the same again or change it for something different.

 

Anyone got any comments?

I use a JRC stealth brolley and never had a problem, I also use the stealth brolley plus that has the zip on front - never had a problem.

I have used both for both day sessions and allnighters.

For allnighters during the summer the stealth is fine but for spring / autumn I prefer using the plus with the front on.

You can also get an overwrap if you want any of them all year round.

If you do a search on here you will find several reports on the stealth plus.
