Which Bivvy?

[Pangolin]

I tried asking on the main thread for recommendations for a cheap, spacious, lightweight bivvy, but the posters there seem sure I don't need one! Anyone here happy with what they own?

fox evo range IMO = quality and fair price but shop around I dont think you can compromise too much with bivvies (false econimy in most cases)

By cheap I meant around £100 or under. If you pay less, what suffers most, quality or size?

I've got the 1-Man version and it is the Dogs Bitz, took a while to get used to putting it up but really chuffed with it now. RRP £159 but I'm sure most retailers will be open to negotiation. cos JRC have just brought out a new 2005 version for around the same money. Shop around for someone with old version in stock.

Look at this from a post of mine, on a similar subject:

"J&K Tackle are advertising the Wychwood Extremis 2 person Dome/Bivvy for £59.99 in this week's Anglers Mail".
