... Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hi all...Dont know if there was a thread for this...but looming for a 2man Bivvy for me & my son....ive found 2 but look exactly the same by 2 different company's...2 different prices.. TF Gear Scout 2man..£99.99 NGT Fortress around £120 ish Both look EXACTLY the same...🤔🤔 Any thoughts from you guys on a 2man bivvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlc1964 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Trakker Armo2 May be a bit pricey but well worth the extra, imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about putting the darned things away. The JRC STi 2 man I had(many years ago)was a royal pain.....it didn't fit back into the bags it came in.😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not possible! I bought a much larger zipped bivvy bag, best money I've spent! Ian bluelabel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, everything can be put under cover. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
