never seen a heavier bivvy the should call it lard **** !

Been looking at the 2 man version of this myself - but the weight issue was mentioned to me.

With today's advancements in handling luggage with barrows - I'm not sure how much of an issue weight really is? If anything does it not suggest you are getting a denser, better quality material?

[carp junkie]

it was me who mentioned the weight i never realised how heavy they were till i was in france and a guy had 1 honest it was ridiculous forget luggage and barrow enhancement and stuff just buy a jrc as i mentioned if your on a budget otherwise save some more money and buy a dillo or get a 2nd hand dillo !

OK - I'll go with you on this matey! To be honest I'm split between the two.....so I'll take you're advice and go for the jrc.

Thanks again.

Hi

I have the plus and the 2 man version

it was recommended by Paul from Carp fever at Droylsden

If you want a bivvy for bad weather you will not beat this one!

Paul said buy the cheaper ones if you are doing just odd days but for anything like france for a week then either the Armadillo Mk 2 @ £400 plus and his second option or recommendation to me was the chub plus came in at £200

I know nowt about the weight side sorry. In the summer months I have not bothered taking the outer skin. You also get as extras with the price windows mozzi door pegs etc again I only take what i need.

hope that helps

forgot to ask. Is the weight an issue? is it for overnighters or for longer spells?

is there easy access to your swims?pegs?

will it be used abroad?

will it be used in winter?

Im my opinion I would have bought the Armo Mk2 but did not have the £500 plus to have what the chubb plus offers

What about a nash double top pro?......I got one a month or so ago.....put it up in the garden a couple of times to learn how it works......seems pretty good on the weight side of things,,,,, and I got a good deal @ ABOUT £150ISH

you wont regret it dave, had mine for nearly a year now, can get it in all size of pegs, has alsorts of options (mozzi etc...).. just a great all round bivvy!
weight doesnt reli matter unless you dont have a barrow and are a lazy lad who dont wana walk around the mere with your gear....

[tenchmaster]
