World's your oyster, there's plenty of choice.
You want a quick erect bivvy or a threader?

2, 3 or 4 leg bedchair?

The 4 folding JRC or Nash beds are pretty neat and strong.

STi or Dillo?
Lada or Mercedes?
As I said worlds your oyster, but it's your money.

There's one on the eBay for ?325 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRAKKER-ARMO-MK2-2-MAN-ARMADILLO-BIVVY_W0QQitemZ130114496276QQihZ003QQcategoryZ72670QQcmdZViewItem

Can't find a price on the JRC as there are a few different typres (type R, Dave Lane, quick erect etc)
But the RRP for the 2 man is ?240

i take ur point big rik about quality i guess the dillo's far better quality than the jrc's version. i was looking around the 250 range nothing too expensive though. as long as i ahve enough room and it keeps me warm and dry it will do me.

Do the Sti's still have those stupid mesh vents in the roof? The one's that force you into using the outer skin? You know, just in case it rains loik?

Like Rik says, Merc or Lada.

Not wrong at all Richard, each to their own and all that. I also know that a lot of former sti owners have now changed and have bought different.

I have had around 14 or 15 different bivvies now and the best I have had is the Dillo. The two I have I will keep until they have had it.
