Hi i just need some help because my birthdays coming up and im looking for a bivvy:

 

Keeps out rain + condensation to some extent

Keeps me warm on a cold night

Ive looked at the nash strongbow, jrc defender, jrc sti twin skin (too expensive)

 

any suggestions or reviews on those bivvies thanks!! :)

Cant jelp with any of the above but i have used the tfg Force 8 one man for 3yrs, never had any probs in what ever the weather. I know that some people hate them and others love them. I did a review and Elton put it somewhere i am sure if you ask him or do a search you will find it.

 

I am looking at a new Bivvy myself, gunna get the JRC Twin skin one man, bit more expensive but i think its worth it.

 

Hope that helps

You can indeed, may be getting one this month for the extra 50 squid you get a good bit of stability and protection. One niggle with the force 8 is that it does not keep the warmth in as well as other twin skins.

Quick point about the JRC STI twin skin - it's really heavy. If you can drive to your swim then no problem, but if you're walking/barrowing any distance I'd look for something lighter.

 

Really heavy = about 30lb.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
