Easy Dome Bivvies. Are They??

Cheers Bob.

I see what you mean about the bedchair pushing the inner lining against the
outer lining.

So, it isn't a problem getting it back in the bag?

I have both an euro easydome for short sessions (2/3 nights) and a
continental easydome for long sessions and fishing abroad. I pack them
away in a couple of minutes. In winter the material get's a bit stiff
but
that seems the same with most of them. They have a inner tent which
keeps
out the bugs and prevents the condensation nightmare of single skinned
bivvys. I would not buy the standard easydome as a standard bedchair
tends
to push the inner tent against the outer giving condensation problems.

A help to putting them up is to lay a groundsheet which you get as an
extra
and peg that down, put up the dome and use the pegs that are in the
groundsheet. This helps in wind. They also have good guy ropes which
make
it very secure in wind. I have used mine in real gales without a problem.

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?
