hi dudes
im considering getting a bivvy, ive got a whichwood roamer shelter which is spot on for short sessions but i feel winter is just round the corner and i have got some long sessions planned where i will be camping out . it needs to be light ,easy to erect not too big, one manner will do. and not silly money if thats possible!
any suggestions, also what should i avoid.
cheer for any advice
eric

I use for short sesssion the tf gear force 8 bivvy 1 man but for longer sessions i use like Giles the JRC STI 2 man with extended overwrap you can basically get all your gear inside so no one can see your gear plenty of room. Weight wise its alittle heavy, where as the force 8 isnt too bad weight wise and is alott quicker to set up once you get the knack of it
