At 6ft 5 not sure a lo pro would be an ideal purchase for me. I think I’m ordering the prologic VX3 tomorrow morning 👍

Hopefully.......... Not sure why my mates say I have commitment issues 😂

This is exactly my worry mate. Promo vids never tell you what you need to know. And at £350 it could turn out to be an exspensive mistake. Which is why I’m hoping someone on here has had some dealings with it. Not seems I convince myself that it’s the 1 for me but then hesitate when I’m ready to order it 😂

Seen this review and it’s the 1 that has seriously made me consider it. I’m a big chap of 6”7 so have a wideboy bedchair for the length and the space inside looks massive for a brolly. The weight doesn’t put me off to be honest the lakes I go 2 you can park next to your swim or have a quad service that drops you gear off. 1 of my concerns was dirt getting into the Zip but in all honesty the lake I tend 2 go 2 for most of my overnighters 1 has clean bark swims so probably wouldn’t be bothered about using the ground sheet 2 much. The lake I would use it is on is gravel but has a lot or rats (which I hate) so the zip in sealed pod really appeals. not considered the size of the door flapping around so that’s a good point. But that said it will only be for 1 nighters over the summer. I have an aqua bivvy which I use for winter and longer sessions plus hopefully be 2 busy catching to worry about sleep lol.

After months of looking I’ve still not committed to anything. There’s just so much choice on the market. I’m now really tempted with the Proloic Commander VX3 system love the idea of the flat back and zip in groundsheet. Looks a quality piece of kit. Has anyone had anything to do with 1 or seen 1 on the bank?

Thanks that’s loads of help. I think he’s now looking at the st6000’s not 2 sure what 1’s he’s got exactly. But I know they have a gold spole.

Hi all. A friend of mine is looking for a bit of help or information on Shimano reels. He has 2 4500B reels and was looking to buy a 3rd but the no longer sell them. Does anyone know what they replaced it with. Trying to get as close match as possible without having to replace the other 2. Also can anyone recommend a Shimano reel that’s good for surface fishing?

I’m really impressed with the look of the wychwood. I think I will be treating myself on payday to 1. Thanks for the help 👍🏻

Not after hotel comfort by any stretch of the imagination. Just a bed that’s long enough so I don’t have to lay curled up all night. When the design fishing gear they don’t have tall blokes like me in mind. Mind you done hotel beds aren’t big enough either 🤣

Looks a nice bed as well. You both use 1? Wasn't looking at spending as much as the Nash really. Had around a £150 budget in mind.

Hi everyone. Im looking to pick your Brains I’m looking to get a bed chair but I’m 6ft 7 and am concerned about the length of beds. I’m currently using an old army folding bed which has seen better days. Does anyone know of any beds that are longer everything I seem to find is around the 2m mark. Which is not much good as I’m around 2m in height.

The avid really doesn't appeal to me at all. The tempest does look nice as well as easy to put up and spacious Inside. but you have to have the wrap to put a door on it. Not ideal for summer when you just want a mozy mess to protect you. Or do they do an attachable panel and I've just not see it?

Everything I'm reading about it would suggest that it's not all that big inside. I want something that is quick and simple to put up but I can still get a full size bedchair and my luggage inside, looking at the Tittan and fox Mk2 the seem to have plenty of space inside. But that said I don't want to go and splash 350 quid and end up wishing I had got something different!

Hi all im looking into getting a brolly for quick overnighters after work ideally I'm looking for something simple to put up as winter will be here and I'll be doing it in the dark. I have been looking at the fox MK2 system and the Nash titan full system. As well as the winter wraps. Has anyone got 1 of these or opinions on them? Or is there something else that you could throw into the pot. Cheers Tony

Yh your not wrong. It's a big decision which is not helped by the vast choice on the market. I don't want to be in the position where I'm sat on the bank wishing I'd got a different bivvy. But that said I'm very impressed with what's on the market for not a lot of money. I'd figured that I'd need to spend around £350-£400 to get anything worth while with a wrap. So the fact that there's a couple of decent options for around £200 I'm considering getting a 2 man bivvy and a brolly system for just me during the summer. Plenty of room in the van to take both to the venue and use which ever suits the venue best.
