 Don't waste your money on anything Nash.Terrible customer service. Many shops won't stock Nash gear; for a good reason.

 My Nash - all zips bust..... Armadillo......
|
 |
 maybe they made them properly back when i bought mine  mind you, rarely have the front on, and when i do, its even rarer that the doors down

 "mind you, rarely have the front on, and when i do, its even rarer that the doors down"
Yeah, but that is only because all the zips broke Frothey . . . .
Seriously though, the Fox Continental Easy Dome is very easy to erect but is very heavy.
I recently got a Trakker Armadillo (the 1 man version though) and it is very simple to erect and really stable too. I have no reason to think that the 2 man would be any different.

 don't be so facetious you silly little man. . . . . . . . . . . i'm usually too pi**ed to do them up.

You are not wrong Dave, Nash gear used to be good when they were about the right products for the job, however, like many firms they lost sight of why they came into existence and became solely profit orientated.Nash began by selling to local shops and then going on the bank and selling at the same price to fishermen. Great for us but not so good for the local shops. As a result many stopped stocking his stuff. Many of those that did were fine at first and then learned that with decreasing quality and terrible customer services, Nash were better blacklisted than stocked. I have a 2 man Armadillo (Armo due to a bit of skullduggery by Fox) which is superb although too large for a lot of swims so I generally use my Trakker 60" brolly which is great in all weathers.

 6 months or so ago I bought a nash apache 3 speed, zips were broke when I got it out the box and the stiching had come away.... took it back and bought a fox. Last year I bought a 4 play rod pod. Got it home, one of the legs on it was the wrong size. Back to the tackle box for another. This one has the screw on the leg missing.... bought a cygnet rod pod. The stuff they sell now isnt all that. As for a bivvy, dont know mark. I was going to start doing some nights but cant now. If you want a Force 8 I'm selling a brand new one. Look up stuff for sale on fm here.
