Jamie93 57 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello all, I'm after a bivvy that has two skins with it. It must be spacious enough inside for my bed and all my gear. It must also be warm and watertight. Any ideas of something that fits the description around the 200 mark? Thanks Quote Link to post
Hob&Jill 258 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The JRC sti's are good quality as are the Chub cyfish. The cyfish is probs the one to got for with your budget imo. Quote Link to post

steveS.Yorks 161 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ive got a Matt Hayes storm force8 or thats what i think its called [bought it ages ago] its really quick to put up when you get the hang of it,no poles to thread and is pretty sturdy when pegged out properly even in high winds,ive got the one man and its ok for size,i Dont buy things because some "name" is on it either,its a good buy imo. I bought it "on special" yea right! but the price did go up shortly after i bought mine,that tells you something. hth steve. Quote Link to post
