Richard713 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Looking around for a 2 man Bivvy that's not too expensive, are they actually big enough for 2 people? Seen a JRC 2 man for around £110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, i bought for the odd occasion the mrs might come with me, she never has though, but yes i could get two beds in, you might need the extra skin to keep the condensation out as with two beds, you might be touching the sides a bit.

Richard713 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Sounds good, for the money it looks a steel to me. Any suggestions on bedchairs? Ps. Think I'll need to buy a van next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as long as there is room for the stove in the middle then happy days! I'll have a proper look at this one later. Does it fold away to a reasonable size?

Does it fold away to a reasonable size? my last bivvy was a TFG 2 man pop up and that was why i got the hurricane 2 man but you could literally put the tfg inside the other and still walk round it, as for folded i would say that they were both about the same size folded but as the hurricane has aluminium poles as opposed to carbon it comes out at about 6-7 kilo without the overwrap which comes in the price too.

Unless you both share a bed............. Ian jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian I've got a jrc sti 2 man myself, I've had it for a couple years now and only used it a few times. Its a pain setting up and like you say, fitting 2 bed chairs is a nightmare. I would avoid getting this bivvy mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where I can go to see it though, they claim they don't use resellers and only sell direct to the customer. Did you buy your bed chair online from them? I think it's slightly smaller than the hurricane when I compared the specs, but we were talking centimeters I think ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard713 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hurricane 2 man dimensions are 315x280x155cm - don't know the weight? Cyprinus Tactical 2 man dimensions are 310x270x140cm - 7kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-jermy Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Another vote from me for the hurricane 2 man I've got one and can fit in everything that I need plus more and they are reallygood at keeping the heat in which is handy on a cold night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
