Pros:
|
Low price, Twin skin, available in 1 or 2 man, easy to erect, fairly light for a low cost dome.
|
|
Cons:
|
Could do with a better quality carry bag & pegs.
|
|
A good buy for the angler on a budget. Not a bad buy for the angler who only has the odd night out or on a budget. It seems well made & I certainly have no real complaints about mine.

Pros:

Not as expensive as the other ""named"" bivvy'son the market.Plenty of room inside,100% waterproof
|
|
Cons:
|
The little button hole at the front to carry the rods tend to drip with the condensation
|
|
Huge inside ( 2 man ) A very worthwhile bivvy for the casual bivvy up session, hard wearing,excelent value for money and easy to erect

Great value for money Would buy again

Pros:
|
Lightweight, cheap, waterproof (tested in downpour) nice 'Advantage Timber' design, room for two easily.
|
|
Cons:
|
Carry bag, pole assembly and erection, cheap pegs not good for hard ground (use bivvy pegs instead)
|
|
Spacious dome, looks good on the bank Used mine three times and no complaints so far. Goes to show you don't have to pay

Pros:
|
Cost... It's a lot cheaper than many other alternatives. Space - if you have enough room at your swim.
|
|
Cons:
|
Footprint is huge... the 2-man can take 3 bedchairs and 3 people's gear with ease. Weight-It isn't lightweight. I disagree with Alan Ashpole, condensation is a factor, the interior ventilation isn't too good if you have to batten down the hatches. Used as

Ok - if you have a large swim It is competitively priced and quite serviceable.However, the 2-man has a huge footprint - over 2.3 metres in each direction - without the guy ropes! I'd happily sacrifice a little width and depth for extra height - but that's me being picky. It is certa

Pros:

CheapSturdy (survived 50 mph winds in practically open ground)Twin Skin
|
|
Cons:
|
Not a lot of space which effects waterproof.Slow to put up.Slower to take down.Porch is pointless. Bag isn't big enough.
|
|
A good summer shelter. Not for the larger angler. The cypry has been a great first bivvy to me, or it had been up until the winter. I spent the summer on a sun lounger on a beautiful reservoir in my cypry with my mate on the floor next to me with enough room and perfectly comfortable. He and I have since

Pros:
|
2 man version is extremely spacious.Very solid and stable when erect. Looks far more expensive than it is.
|
|
Cons:
|
Takes a little longer to erect than more modern bivvis, but this is in exchange for its stable construction. Proper bivvie pegs are required for hard surfaces or extreme weather. Could do with a slightly larger stow bag.
|
|
Unbeatable value for money. Although it is not constructed as heavily as some bivvies costing four times as much, after two or three seasons, you could afford to throw it away, get another and still be better off.
