How do the Snugpaks come up size wise Yonny?? I usually buy extra large as I'm about a 43" chest. That's at the maximum for their large. I don't want it too tight but I'm worried that their XL will be too big 

Well I did pull the trigger, and the new one arrives on Monday.
Already have the skull cap (from the V2) which fits, just undecided whether to go for the optional mozzie mesh or the full infill panel. I'll make that decision nearer holiday time. 
Mozzie mesh is £49.99, the infill panel is £30.00 more.
I have sold both my V2 and my Quest bivvy as the 100T is basically going to become my "Jack of all trades". With the prices I got for them, it's only cost me about £40.00 for the "upgrade"
I'll have no qualms about using it for a week down in France..... as I mentioned above, I have been more than happy with the internal dimensions of my V2, and feel confident that I'll be able to fit a weeks gear into it. I do tend to fish light.
The increased headroom will be welcome, as will the rear vents.
Haven't been out much lately what with work and the weather, but looking forward to giving this a proper test before too long.
I found this German video on YouTube which is much more informative than the UK one posted by Trakker. If you can understand the lingo, great. If you can't, just watch with the volume off.
It's very informative......

Haven't been on much recently as been busy at work and the weather has seen me off the bank for the last couple of months.
Just wanted to wish everybody on here a happy Crimble, and all the best for 2020.

I have the V2 brolly and love it for it's ease of use. Have had no problems whatsoever with it's build quality.
My only complaint, (well it's not really a complaint), is it's lack of height. It is a bit low, and I never fail to catch my bonce on it when getting in and out, but I've been prepared to put up with it for the sake of it's other benefits. The other dimensions are great, it's nice and wide so I can get plenty in, and deep enough to push my bed chair right to the back and keep out of the worst of the weather.
But I'm sorely tempted to swap out to the new 100T. It's not a bad price at all, bearing in mind the benefits of the extra height, and in particular the two rear vents as standard. I looked at having a couple of vents put in my V2 by Army Andy, and the cost would work out more than a new 100T taking the purchase price into account. 
I've checked the other dimensions and it's the same width as the V2, and 5cm deeper, so I wouldn't be losing out anything at all. It's a win/win as far as I am concerned.
I'm watching carefully, and may well pull the trigger on the new one.
 

Whenever I have ordered freezer baits, if they turn up frozen I'll say "Good" and whack 'em in the freezer.
On the other hand, if they turn up thawed out, or "fresh" I'll say "Good" and whack 'em in the freezer.
I've never noticed a reduction in catch rates. or longevity of the bait.

Lost a nice one in the pads early doors but just had this 23lb mirror 

If I'm fishing a bottom bait or a pop up I'll use a coated braid, stripped accordingly.
A wafter will see me using fluro nine times out of ten.
They really don't come any easier than this...
