Hi I’ve got the peak personally I think it’s makes a difference, if I had to choose between peak or inner dome for me it would be peak but it’s down to personal preference, I’d rather have the protection from rain and condensation than mozzys I use mine early spring to late autumn as I have a winter bivvy Your always going to get a bit of condensation but it stops majority of it and the more the doors shut the more you’ll get but I try to have door open as much as possible Hope this helps Cheers

Why would you change bivvy from frontier to different one for winter ? Cheers 🍻

@TymsCarpTv

4 ай бұрын

Hi The reason I change is for a few reasons,I love the frontier and want to keep it in as good condition so I can use it for a long time and during early spring to late autumn if I need to move quick it’s nice and easy to do so, also in those months I don’t carry as much gear clothes food drink etc so can get away with smaller bivvy, also I have the extension I can put on the front if needed for longer sessions when I can’t move as you’ll see later this year where the swim you get is where you stay and I’m there for 4-5 days. In winter I like a bit more room so I can take extra gear as there’s a good chance to get wet several times in winter plus you spend mor3 time in your bivvy in winter due to weather so nice to have that bit more room,also I have a lot of camera gear so need extra room for that, another reason is some of the places I’ve fished in the past your tucked in trees and during a couple of very windy storms I’ve had shit fall on the bivvy and don’t want to ruin the frontier,my winter bivvy is triple skin so the outer skin takes the hit it also has sewn in ground sheet so when it’s really windy it stops a lot of draft coming in the bivvy again just making it more comfortable while out on the bank, I fish all the way through winter no matter what the weather and I’ve fished through a lot of the bad storms over the years shame I didn’t video back then as I could have put them up, I know it’s not for everyone but it’s just the way I work, failing to prepare is preparing to fail Hope that explains it a bit better Cheers👍

Hi Yes it’s more than good enough for winter and they do a wrap and also there’s a porch wrap coming out for it later this year The reason I use a winter bivvy is I already had it before this bivvy and just so impressed with the frontier I want to keep it nice plus I do fish right through winter in storms snow mud etc when the winter bivvy eventually gives up I’ll use the frontier through winter aswell Thanks 👍🏼

I see there's alot more products simce you did the video. great video by the way... Anyway I'm unsure what to do, Do.i get the xd with inner dome or x without and just overwrao and vapour peak. Do i wait for the extension as or will it fit to existing overwrap? Sorry for the million questions but hopefully you can tell me what you prefer having had the bivvy

@@aaronturner2366 no problem, for spring to autumn I don’t like inner domes If I was getting one to do everything I would get frontier x and vapour peak that I’d use most of the year I’d buy over wrap for winter And the porch extension for when I needed more space ie longer session like 4-5 days plus or for abroad I don’t think you can use the winter wrap and porch at same time it’s one or the other Hope that helps I’m doing an update on the frontier in the next couple weeks a few ideas I’ve found since using it but that won’t be on here until a month or so as filming and then editing takes time Thanks

Hi Skull cap makes a big difference well worth buying in my option. Still get a bit on sides depending on weather and time of the year Cheers

Hi Sorry forgot to mention that the condensation on the inside is mainly on front panel if you use one around the sides and back only a very small amount due to the windows and vents as they act like a double layer Cheers
