I went with the Frontier XD for my old knackered body 😂, I was amazed at how tall it was. I'm 5ft 10in, just had to dip my head down a little. I literally just thrown it up quickly to check for defects, was very impressed with ease of putting it up.
@@andyclark960 they only make overwraps for the X and XD mate, I would’ve of got one anyways mate i always take them in winter and I never use them haha
Firstly, it’s a really solid, well thought out review!!I had a few questions for you pls 1) I have the Trakker Aquatex 100 Brolly and the well known problem is the height. I’m also 5’10 and wondered whether there is a good amount of head clearance in the standard Frontier? I have no interest in the bigger versions, the footprints are impractical for the places I like to fish 2) Do the mozzi mesh panels on the 2 rear vents also zip and roll up ie: create a complete opening? The one thing I would like to see added to the standard frontier is vents on all sides (like the tempest) which would help with air flow 3) Now that you’ve had the frontier for more than a year how are you finding it, any issues with wear/leakage or anything else? Thank you
Sorry buddy I didn’t see your comment. Height is no issue mate sitting on my bed and there is plenty of head room. I owned it for 2 and half years now and it’s still as good as the day I bought it. Never once had a problem and it’s been up and down hundreds of times
Great stuff mate. I’ve owned a fox compact supabrolly for a few years. Been happy with it but it’s looking a bit tired now. Your review was actually more helpful than the official one. Defo gonna get the Frontier now
Great review of a lovely bivvy. They’ve seen the tempest and improved it, for less money too. I wish I’d waited a year and got one of these! I may even look at selling my advanced 100 for one.
Thank you Adrian I massively appreciate it! Hit the little bell icon on my page and don’t miss future videos, I’ve got some big giveaways coming up in the next few days that you don’t want to miss 🎣🎣
Lovely bivvy could only dream of having one like that unfortunately my 17 year old wage rates and vehicle insurance hinder me from buying such lovely items🤣cracking video buddy, you do get what you pay for ie quality of material, I’m guessing that’s like 10,000 mm hydrostatic rating? Top notch video mate tight lines!
Thank you for watching mate and thank you for the great feedback, you will get there one day mate just keep working and the rewards will follow! And It’s 20,000mm hydrostatic mate!

Hi nick sorry I didn’t get straight back to you I’ve been super busy! My bedchair I use is the fox r series, it fits in but almost touches each side, no room to spare at each end, however loads of room in front of the bed. The is just the smallest frontier in the range, they do have 2 bigger ranges
They are super strong mate and probably the easiest bivvy I’ve ever put up. I can’t say if they will last forever but they certainly look and feel the part 👍 thanks for commenting mate I hope you enjoyed the video 🎣🎣
That's another great review from you thanks ,you must own a few bivvies and spent quite a few quid ,that fox bivvy looks good ,I'm a brolly person my self ,use the esp hide out tho I only night fish in the warmer months ,cheers for your reviews
Haha thank you Brian I’ve spent my fair share 🤣🤣🤣 but it’s all for the people like you who appreciate it haha! Brolly’s are amazing, I was toying with the idea myself, I fish all year round tho and it’s nice to have a door at this time of year haha when will you start fishing again?
@@TrickyCarping hi mate ,il be back out there end of march till November ,lol I don't like those cold winter nights anymore, the esp hide out has a door it's a full fronted brolly ,got t o have a door for those rainy nights ,cheers buddy
hi great video . i bought the frontier x version but i cannot put it down as simple as you did. any tips on putting the bivvy away as instructions for putting up but nothing for putting down
Nice review cheers 👍🏼 I’ve been looking at something to replace my JRC cocoon 2 man dome.. I need something for 2 people I’m trying to work out of the Fox Frontier XD will be big enough. I need to go and see one. Also been looking at the new Trakker Tempest Aquatexx EV 1.0 stuff but crazy prices as you know, and I’ve seen some issues with the design and faults (Tempest advanced) on videos. I know they all get issues but still, at that price, and seems all they’ve updated is the material. I’ve still got a Fox Supabrolly MK2 system for when I’m alone and that’s been spot on. I must be one of the few that hasn’t had issues with them haha. Although it has not been out in very bad weather. The only other thing I prefer on the Tempest are the new skullcaps with side panels or the ‘social wrap’ that extends the front. That would actually be useful for camping too.. but then the bivvy still missing features like opening vents from inside. Choices eh.. and all this stuff is getting far too expensive.. and of course with all of these companies, you buy something, and the next version is right around the corner.. we will see. Just realised one other feature that would be great on the Fox... a magnetic mozzy mesh panel. Those look great for middle of the night ‘fast exits’
the fox XD is only a 1.5 man bivvy mate, meaning a very spcious 1 man really. tempests are amazing bivvies and always have been but like you say the prices are getting a little above and beyond these days! im glad youve have mentioned a magnetic door because i was speaking about this last week to my friend and it would be an amazing feature, the trakker bivvies have them and they work very well
@@TrickyCarping Yeah, the more I read the more I think it’ll be a struggle with 2 bed chairs in the Fox.. will see, I need to see them in the flesh. Such a simple idea (the magnetic door) but very useful! Just like the panel on the Fox groundsheet. Seems ‘the perfect bivvy’ is still yet to be made haha.
@@GaryB_OutandAbout maybe we should put our minds together and build our own.... magnetic doors, fold back groud sheet, weighs 2kg, and put its self up and down haha
@@TrickyCarping defo thinking of the xd ,I've got the tempest 100t but the material let's it down,great to have the head room ,so hence looking at the xd . Had the nash tc pro witch was a great bit of kit .look forward to seeing more of ya youtube vids ,keep up the good work 👍

Thank you Neil and thanks for commenting, it shouldn’t be an issue especially with the vapour peak, but there is plenty of inside to move your bed away from the edges, please check out my videos comparing the Titan T1 vs Titan hide and let me know what you think about those 🎣🎣🎣
great review and got a thumbs up but I struggle to see why companies can't come up with the own design's Nash and Fox both ripping off the Trakker range,simply because Tracker nailed in every department that's why they all copy it but abit on the pricey side, but when I go on holiday I say in a 5 star so it shouldn't be any different on the bank ,thats why I use the brolly advanced for being mobile and the 150 for the extra room if needed for a longer stay , enjoyed the vid tho 👍
thank you gavin and a great comment make sure you subscribe mate as i have some free giveaways coming up! and i personally said the same back in september when they first launched the frontier! trakker are very good bivvy manufactures and it appears to fo been copied when infact there are many differences. thank you for watching and commenting buddy, tight lines
Hi, great review. Am looking at getting this or the x model, what's the clearance like on sides when you've pushed yer bed to the back? (I know all beds are dif), however is the bed touching the sides?
Hi Damian thank for watching and commenting, any yes with this model the bed touches the bivvy when pushed right back, I would advise getting the X or XD if you want to avoid this
Now Alex thanks for watching and commenting, I can’t honestly say for sure because I don’t own a wide boy, but I would say you would need the frontier X with it being a big bedchair, my bedchair is standard and it’s a snug fit
Brilliant review, could I just ask how tall you are so I can gauge for myself (I'm 5.10 but with a dodgy back so struggle with door ways) I'm thinking the taller one would suit me a better ,cheers
thank you Graham i appreciate it! thanks for watching and commenting! i am 5.10 and the door height is about at my chest. but when inside the bivvy there is loads of room, but it sounds like you would benifit more from the frontier X or XD better. hope his helps buddy
Ye mate it’s the fox r series bedchair, it touches the bivvy at top and bottom but leaves loads of room in the bivvy, thanks for watching and commenting mate
I have the X but a few weeks ago the plastic bit round the holes for where the overwrap connects, came off and will not go back on. Very poor customer service. Just don’t seem to respond. At the moment I would not recommend fox to anyone. Hope this changes.
@@TrickyCarping yes I am I really like the look of it . Prefer it to the tracker tempest brolly advance as I know tracker really now how to pull your pants down for the extras
Thanks buddy, still looks as good as the day I bought it! It’s been heavily used and abused, I’ve done well over 100 nights since I bought it and all it’s got is a few muddy marks, it’s mechanically sound still. Worth every penny
Nice video. I was looking for a vid like this a month ago when I ordered the X. Got it now so no problem. I was looking at the Tempest advanced 150 but seeing as it’s sold out every where I went for the frontier X and must say I’m well happy with it!
I have the X but a few weeks ago the plastic bit round the holes for where the overwrap connects, came off and will not go back on. Very poor customer service. Just don’t seem to respond. At the moment I would not recommend fox to anyone. Hope this changes.
I enjoyed the video on the new Fox biv, thanks. But one thing id say is the background music was too loud and was a distract from your talking, I had difficulty hearing what you were saying. Just an observation.
Now Chris thanks for watching and commenting mate. The ground sheet doesn’t need pegging points as it simply clips in and then can be pulled tight, meaning it’s easy to leave you ground sheet attached when packing away the bivvy
Good question josh and thanks for commenting, personally I absolutely love the T1 and it’s a beast of a bivvy... however it is very heavy and takes slightly longer to put up, the frontier is lighter and faster which is perfect for my style of fishing as I am often on the move!.... the t1 comes with an inner mesh which is amazing and I think the frontier would benefit from! BUT my decision is the frontier... as I just want speed,weight,quality! And it certainly delivers, what’s your thoughts mate?
they sure are mate and they are only getting higher mate. personally its a price tag that i wouldve expected from a high end modern day bivvy (which this is) thanks for watching and commenting buddy
@@TrickyCarping I guess it’s my problem.. I’ve said it before many of us love our fishing and I’m sure we all spend more than we should at times.. Especially if we have bills to pay and kids to feed.. That said it’s nice bit of kit and you showed it very well.. Anyway all the best and tight lines sir👍👍👍
Nice bivvy but considering that it’s virtually the same as the JRC BLOXX compact which comes with all the extra bits plus a full overwrap to boot and is less than £200 all in, then this is massively over priced.
hi buddy thank you for commenting and watching.. the fox frontier offers a 20,000 hydrostiatic head and the JRC bloxx compact is only 10,000.. the jrc bloxx is £265 and the overwrap is £135 making it a total of £400, the fox is £500 and the wrap/peak is £75, making a total of £575.. only $175 difference when you break it down and i personally think its worth it for a bivvy twice as good. tight lines mate
@@TrickyCarping I stand corrected. Myself and 3 of my mates have a JRC bloxx compact 2G system with skull cap and the full overwrap and we all paid £199. The shop that were selling them had them on offer when we purchased them and have now increased their prices.
@@TrickyCarping we have yes as we’ve had them for over a year now and to be honest none of us are happy with the amount of condensation you get inside, even when you’ve got the full overwrap on. At the moment I’ve gone back to using my Trakker Pioneer Ultralight as I get absolutely no condensation whatsoever in all weathers.
@@biffder2000 I have the Bloxx compact and the main difference between the Bloxx and the Frontier is the material. Like you, I have real issues with condensation. Also, the material is so thin it lets in heaps of light. I also got mine cheap, but I think I will be replacing it. I was using a Fox Supa Brolly and overwrap and that has less condensation in the winter.
Thanks for watching and commenting Craig, and can see the similarities as I said the same myself before it’s release, but quite a lot of differences mate 🎣
@@TrickyCarping if a design aint broke dont fix it, a nash tc pro has the peak already tackle companies are swindling anglers back not so long back bivvies/brollys had everything supplied, only thing that was separate was a winter skin, the blocks are the main difference for each company thats it
@@craigedwards3150 I agree with you there mate they’re splitting things down, but I do think that gives you the opportunity to buy things separately if you can’t afford the full bundle at once, nevertheless it’s a great bivvy and take nothing away from it, tight lines buddy thanks for commenting 🎣🎣
Would have bought one if it wasn't for the fact you have to unzip the whole damn door to put on another door i.e a mozie mesh door, what the hell lol, So when it starts to rain and you have the mozzie mesh door on you have to go out in the rain unzip the mesh door and zip on another door. That's pretty crap. Most good bivvys have the option to just roll up the outside to show the mozzie mesh under it, less faffing around with separate doors when its all in one. For a bivvy at this price to be without this option its a joke when ones 3 times cheaper have it.. I think Fox are getting worse, and that's saying something, a few years back i dropped my fox rod on the bank grass, the end / tip snapped off, on pretty long grass too! then the month after i was using a fox catapult to fire out ground bait and the actual plastic handle snapped, not the rubber band, the hard plastic!! lol. I was looking at this bivvy (reluctantly as it's fox made) and was going to buy it until i saw this video and how bad the options are, the options that should actually come with it like they do on all other bivvys lol. Then again, I'd probably buy one, put it up, go out side and a bird would crap on it and the bivvy would disintegrate, being made by fox 🤣
@@TrickyCarping piss take more like!!! Actually the fox one is pretty fairly priced compared to trakker!!! My M3 is looking a bit tired, maybe a purchase coming soon 😉
How does it compare to the new Camo Hide? Which do you prefer? I've got my name for hide, but with all the extras it's same price as the fox. Only thing worries me on the fox is those plastic joints look a bit prone to snapping?

Is that the Fox R-series sleep system you have got there ? My frontier should be getting delivered today.
Ye mate it’s the fox r series bedchair, it touches the bivvy at top and bottom but leaves loads of room in the bivvy, thanks for watching and commenting mate
@@TrickyCarping no worries yea, I was just wondering about how well it fitted. Nice one.
I have the X but a few weeks ago the plastic bit round the holes for where the overwrap connects, came off and will not go back on. Very poor customer service. Just don’t seem to respond. At the moment I would not recommend fox to anyone. Hope this changes.
Really interested in this bivvy. But I love to know why they don't do the overwrap for the smaller frontier
It’s a cracking bivvy but I do wonder the same myself, are you thinking of buying one?
@@TrickyCarping yes I am I really like the look of it . Prefer it to the tracker tempest brolly advance as I know tracker really now how to pull your pants down for the extras
How does it look after 18 months of use any issues ? nice video
Thanks buddy, still looks as good as the day I bought it! It’s been heavily used and abused, I’ve done well over 100 nights since I bought it and all it’s got is a few muddy marks, it’s mechanically sound still. Worth every penny
@@TrickyCarping Thanks for the quick reply, did you keep your T1 as well out of interest?
@@chucky1golf I didn’t buddy, in all honesty that was an amazing bivvy, it was just big and heavy
Can u use this bivvy without the storm poles?
Hey bud, do you prefer this or the Nash titan t1
Both brilliant bivvies mate but I would probably say the frontier purely down to the weight, t1 isn’t light haha
Nice video. I was looking for a vid like this a month ago when I ordered the X. Got it now so no problem.
I was looking at the Tempest advanced 150 but seeing as it’s sold out every where I went for the frontier X and must say I’m well happy with it!
Thanks Justin! I would’ve made the video a month ago but getting hold of them hasn’t been easy haha you were one of the fortunate ones to get it first
I have the X but a few weeks ago the plastic bit round the holes for where the overwrap connects, came off and will not go back on. Very poor customer service. Just don’t seem to respond. At the moment I would not recommend fox to anyone. Hope this changes.
I got the frontier x one not put it up yet they look smart tho
Thanks for watching and commenting steve 🎣🎣 You won’t be disappointed mate, I was very impressed
@@TrickyCarping looks nice simple as well put up and put down is the center boss easy undo when packing it away
@@steveadams5519 ye it’s couldn’t be any easier
I put my X up at the weekend, ss4 mf60 bedchair, loads of headroom, loads of space, yet a smaller footprint than the trakker 100 bivvy
@@pumba5322 what is the ss4 mf60 bedchair like is it comfy
I enjoyed the video on the new Fox biv, thanks. But one thing id say is the background music was too loud and was a distract from your talking, I had difficulty hearing what you were saying. Just an observation.
Hi Tim a appreciate your comment and your feedback, I will take note for my next video, do you fancy buying one?
Would be better if the ground sheet used the pegging points of the bivvy
Now Chris thanks for watching and commenting mate. The ground sheet doesn’t need pegging points as it simply clips in and then can be pulled tight, meaning it’s easy to leave you ground sheet attached when packing away the bivvy
Brilliant bit of kit.. but if you had to choose between this and the T1 from your previous review which would you choose?
Good question josh and thanks for commenting, personally I absolutely love the T1 and it’s a beast of a bivvy... however it is very heavy and takes slightly longer to put up, the frontier is lighter and faster which is perfect for my style of fishing as I am often on the move!.... the t1 comes with an inner mesh which is amazing and I think the frontier would benefit from! BUT my decision is the frontier... as I just want speed,weight,quality! And it certainly delivers, what’s your thoughts mate?
good review
Thank you mate 👌👌 do you fancy one?
@@TrickyCarping yep...got two supras might sell one and buy one...
The wide bed in the bivvy
Nice bivvy... Its abit expensive though.. I've got the trakker slx v3..
£610 for a bivvy.. Wow I'd never pay that much for a bivvy...
It’s worth it tho mate, cracking bivvy! Have you seen the new trakker bivvy? £1300.... now that’s expensive
The prices are ridiculous now for carp gear
they sure are mate and they are only getting higher mate. personally its a price tag that i wouldve expected from a high end modern day bivvy (which this is) thanks for watching and commenting buddy
@@TrickyCarping I guess it’s my problem.. I’ve said it before many of us love our fishing and I’m sure we all spend more than we should at times.. Especially if we have bills to pay and kids to feed.. That said it’s nice bit of kit and you showed it very well.. Anyway all the best and tight lines sir👍👍👍
@@darrengrimmer8541 thank you very much Darren mate 🎣🎣
Nice bivvy but considering that it’s virtually the same as the JRC BLOXX compact which comes with all the extra bits plus a full overwrap to boot and is less than £200 all in, then this is massively over priced.
hi buddy thank you for commenting and watching.. the fox frontier offers a 20,000 hydrostiatic head and the JRC bloxx compact is only 10,000.. the jrc bloxx is £265 and the overwrap is £135 making it a total of £400, the fox is £500 and the wrap/peak is £75, making a total of £575.. only $175 difference when you break it down and i personally think its worth it for a bivvy twice as good. tight lines mate
@@TrickyCarping I stand corrected. Myself and 3 of my mates have a JRC bloxx compact 2G system with skull cap and the full overwrap and we all paid £199. The shop that were selling them had them on offer when we purchased them and have now increased their prices.
@@biffder2000 sounds like you and your friends have got yourselves a bargain then at half price, have you had chance to use it yet mate?
@@TrickyCarping we have yes as we’ve had them for over a year now and to be honest none of us are happy with the amount of condensation you get inside, even when you’ve got the full overwrap on. At the moment I’ve gone back to using my Trakker Pioneer Ultralight as I get absolutely no condensation whatsoever in all weathers.
@@biffder2000 I have the Bloxx compact and the main difference between the Bloxx and the Frontier is the material. Like you, I have real issues with condensation. Also, the material is so thin it lets in heaps of light.
I also got mine cheap, but I think I will be replacing it.
I was using a Fox Supa Brolly and overwrap and that has less condensation in the winter.
I hear a boro accent. UTB mate
You right mate you do haha utb we will
Get it next season
Just a tempest, is it not
Thanks for watching and commenting Craig, and can see the similarities as I said the same myself before it’s release, but quite a lot of differences mate 🎣
@@TrickyCarping if a design aint broke dont fix it, a nash tc pro has the peak already tackle companies are swindling anglers back not so long back bivvies/brollys had everything supplied, only thing that was separate was a winter skin, the blocks are the main difference for each company thats it
Honest review and in the snow👍🏻
@@craigedwards3150 I agree with you there mate they’re splitting things down, but I do think that gives you the opportunity to buy things separately if you can’t afford the full bundle at once, nevertheless it’s a great bivvy and take nothing away from it, tight lines buddy thanks for commenting 🎣🎣
16:43 funny it didnt show you trying to get it in the bag we all know thats the hard part
Sorry mate I didn’t realise I had cut that out, I assure you it’s easy, it’s an oversized bag so goes in with ease
Would have bought one if it wasn't for the fact you have to unzip the whole damn door to put on another door i.e a mozie mesh door, what the hell lol, So when it starts to rain and you have the mozzie mesh door on you have to go out in the rain unzip the mesh door and zip on another door. That's pretty crap. Most good bivvys have the option to just roll up the outside to show the mozzie mesh under it, less faffing around with separate doors when its all in one. For a bivvy at this price to be without this option its a joke when ones 3 times cheaper have it.. I think Fox are getting worse, and that's saying something, a few years back i dropped my fox rod on the bank grass, the end / tip snapped off, on pretty long grass too! then the month after i was using a fox catapult to fire out ground bait and the actual plastic handle snapped, not the rubber band, the hard plastic!! lol. I was looking at this bivvy (reluctantly as it's fox made) and was going to buy it until i saw this video and how bad the options are, the options that should actually come with it like they do on all other bivvys lol. Then again, I'd probably buy one, put it up, go out side and a bird would crap on it and the bivvy would disintegrate, being made by fox 🤣
Why does every carp video have this music?
Brilliant if it was £300, but £500 as standard, ffs!!! The costs of bivvies these days are getting stupid.
Have you seen the new trakker bivvy mate? £1300... now that’s expensive haha
@@TrickyCarping piss take more like!!! Actually the fox one is pretty fairly priced compared to trakker!!!
My M3 is looking a bit tired, maybe a purchase coming soon 😉
@@TrickyCarping what's the material like? Is it dark in there ( I like it dark)?
How does it compare to the new Camo Hide?
Which do you prefer?
I've got my name for hide, but with all the extras it's same price as the fox.
Only thing worries me on the fox is those plastic joints look a bit prone to snapping?
@@kidsstopmecarping2130 get one bought haha
I missed the very first seia, in short cool garbage!!!
Far to expensive with the extras they should come with the biv
It is a high end bivvy however buddy, you look at any other bivvy made from the same materials and it’s going to cost you
500 u got 2b joking
thanks for watching and commenting buddy and yes £500 and this is the cheapest of the 3 in the frontier range
The music is ridiculously too loud..... you only want it in the background.
Turned off your review due to this none stop music level. 😢😢😢
