If you enjoy staying mobile or don’t need a massive bivvy, the Fox Frontier Lite is the perfect shelter for you.
This streamlined version of the Frontier is ideal for quick overnighters, summer sessions, or anglers who prefer a compact setup. Thanks to its clever block design, the bivvy can be erected in seconds and remains freestanding once locked into place, making it much easier to set up, especially if you fish alone.
The high, flat-back design maximises usable space, making it incredibly spacious for a bivvy with a smaller footprint. With your bedchair positioned at the back of the shelter, there’s plenty of room for cooking equipment, rucksacks, and bags. It even offers ample headroom, allowing you to sit comfortably on your bedchair without hunching over.
At this price, it’s an absolute steal! It’s not only an excellent backup option for quick trips to the lake but can also serve as your main shelter if you choose.
Pros
- Very lightweight at 8kg
- Erects in super quick time
- Perfect for mobile angling
Cons
- Isn't the biggest bivvy on the market

Regarded as one of the strongest shelters on the market, the Nash Titan Hide Camo Pro is a great product for those looking for a fast erect, brolly/bivvy hybrid. With a whole host of extras that can be added, the Titan Hide Pro is as suited to overnight angling as it is to those fishing longer sessions. The flat back design allows a bedchair to be positioned against the rear of the shelter, ensuring the maximum space-to-footprint ratio is utilised.
The Hide uses a locking system, which gives the shelter its rigidity, eliminating the need for storm poles whilst also allowing the shelter to be freestanding. In swims that are difficult to get, pegs in this shelter will be invaluable. The anti-twist poles simply fit together, and the ribs are then fanned out and locked into place. We would say there aren't many faster bivvies to set up on the market.
Mesh organiser pockets are a welcome addition for storing items such as phones or receivers, this keeps everything neat, organised and to hand when needed, which can only promote more efficient angling.
THE BIVVY INCLUDES A FREE WATERPROOF INFILL DOOR PANEL, MAKING THIS DEAL EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE!!!
Pros
- Strong, easy to erect
- 20,000mm material will keep you dry
- Free waterproof door
Cons
- More suited to anglers that don't take loads of tackle due to its smaller footprint
