Hi. I am tempted by an Easy Dome Bivvy. Something like a Fox one-man
Easy
Dome. Has anyone had any experiences with them?

The reason I ask, is because even though they go up quickly, they are
totally assembled. This makes me think that they would be a pain to
pack
away. If they take a while to pack away, then there in no point in
having
an Easy Dome really. I would probably be more suited to a conventional
bivvy, which I can put up and take down in 8 minutes start to finish,
and is
smaller when packed away.

What do you guys think?



I use a Chubb cyclone with the storm poles and over-wrap that can be
erected in less than a minute and back in the bag in two. I don't
recommend
it for winter but for may to September its great and it fits in the large
pocket in a Shimano 4 rod holder. It also makes a good family sized beach
shelter too which pleased my wife

The Chub Rapid XS 1 man is a twin skin bivvy with integral groundsheet and
easy to put up and down. It is all round a lot better than the Fox model
quoted and suitable for all year use.
