No longer made, but look out for one on ebay - I paid £40 for mine !

As it would be a bivvy that may only be used once or twice a year, then buying an expensive bivvy may not be a reasonable option. If money isn't an issue then I have to say that the Venture tackle Cassien 2 man bivvy is awesome. I took a good look at one set up at the BCAC semi a few weeks ago. They are well built and rock solid. I personally have an old Rod Hutchinson apothesis, which has a built in ground sheet that keeps out all the critters too. It's more than high enough for a short arse like me and is pretty sturdy. I don't know if they are still available or if they are similar to what you use now. Mine cost me just over £100 about 10 years ago. I have to say though that the bivvy Elie mentions sounds like a right bargain at around £200. Cheers Jamie Hi Phil
