Yeah, Chub give the dimensions very accurately. I have their brochure.
Shame the other manufacturers don't give such good info.

How would you say it is compared to the Easy Dome for size, or even the

Carp
Plus. To me, the Carp Plus is about the right size inside. Enough for

a
bedchair and still plenty of room.


Don't know the dimensions of either. However, with the XS the bedchair (I
have JRC Cacoon 3 leg) can go across the middle easily (loads of spare

room
each end) or from front to rear apex (centre) position (just). Either way

it
leaves ample space inside.

One other thing. I find putting up and taking down the XS2 easy enough

on
my own, despite the size. But, is there a technique to folding it away?


I found the best thing to do is to pull all the collapsed poles into the
centre as tightly as possible first (with the whole bivvy in an upright
position, not laying down) . I find if I do this and then wrap the rest
around these I get it back in the bag pretty easily.

Cheers ....... Richard
