Fox Frontier Lite Review

Featherweight Build, Heavyweight Performance

Introducing the Fox Frontier Lite, the lighter and more compact version of the ever-popular Fox Frontier shelter.

Weighing just 8 kg, this stripped-back brolly offers the perfect solution for anglers seeking a high-quality shelter that won’t weigh them down. Don’t be fooled by its minimalistic design, as the Frontier Lite still boasts an impressive 10,000mm hydrostatic head to keep you dry in any weather conditions.

This bivvy retains many of the features that made the original Frontier shelter a firm favourite among carp anglers, ensuring that you won’t have to compromise on functionality.

Although it comes as a basic shelter only, you have the option to add a solid infill panel and groundsheet, available separately, to complete your setup.

Furthermore, the Frontier Lite is compatible with other accessories in the Frontier range, allowing you to customize your angling experience to suit your specific needs.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting, the Fox Frontier Lite offers a lightweight design combined with a durable construction so you can focus on what truly matters – catching carp!

    Which Bivvy: Initial Thoughts

    As a seasoned carp angling expert, my first impressions of the Fox Frontier Lite Shelter are quite positive. The fact that it is a stripped-down version of the popular Frontier shelter immediately caught my attention.

    Its lightweight design, weighing 4kg less than the standard edition, makes it highly appealing for mobile anglers like myself.

    Setting up the shelter was a breeze, thanks to the quick setup and packdown feature of the lightweight aluminium frame. The unique patented ETS (Easy-Tension-System) boss with reinforced aluminium skeleton provided added stability and ease of use.

    The brolly style design is also a plus, as it allows for easy manoeuvrability and quick adjustments on the bank.

    Upon looking around the shelter, I noticed the solid front panel, storm poles, and groundsheet are available as separate accessories. This allows for customization based on individual preferences and fishing conditions.

    The khaki-coloured 10,000mm hydrostatic head polyester fabric provides high-quality protection from the elements, ensuring a comfortable fishing experience.

    This day shelter is fully compatible with other accessories in the frontier range, including the groundsheet, infill panel, mozzy mesh and vapour peak.

    Overall, the Fox Frontier Lite seems to be a great bivvy option for carp anglers. Its lightweight design, easy setup, and compatibility with additional accessories make it a practical and versatile choice.

    I am excited to put it to the test and see how it performs in various fishing situations.
