Fox Frontier II XL Camo Bivvy

The Fox Frontier II XL Bivvy Camo represents the pinnacle of a quick-setup shelter design. Fox took the foundation of the original Frontier range and addressed the minor operational frustrations users reported, resulting in a system that feels significantly more refined.

The most important upgrade is the geared Easy Tension System boss. In previous iterations, the frame had a tendency to collapse during setup if you did not get the angle perfect. The new geared mechanism locks the ribs in place with mechanical certainty, making the setup process smoother and much faster.

On the bank, the internal experience is genuinely impressive. The flat back design is not just a marketing term, as it allows you to push your bedchair right to the rear wall without the sloping roof encroaching on your headspace.

At 165cm, it is one of the roomier shelters in the category. The blackout laminate lining is a game changer for summer fishing, as it keeps the interior significantly cooler and allows for a better quality of sleep when the sun hits the bivvy early in the morning.

Being able to adjust all four vents from inside the bivvy is a huge practical benefit, as you no longer need to exit the shelter in the middle of a rainstorm just to manage airflow. It is a substantial, heavy-duty piece of kit that is clearly built for long campaigns where comfort and reliability are the top priorities.
