Not sure if its been asked already but I already own and use the SF bivy, superb piece of kit and can’t fault it, I do however sometimes wish I had a little more room at the head end. Its something I can live with but wanted to know if anyone has owned the normal and the XL. It is next to impossible to find the correct dimensions, and every site has different info. Have even contacted snugpak who gave a confusing answer.

I just want to know if the xl is wider at chest end and foot end in addition to being longer. Its not much to ask

I think I’d phone these folk and get them to open one up and measure it for you.

So bought one in the end, even snugpak sent me a confusing answer. Anyway, if anyone is wondering here they are to compare. Slept in the xl the other night and must say the extra room made for a more comfortable night.

When lined up at the bottom. The xl has quite a bit more room on the shoulders.

That's really useful, thank you.
I'm going to try one out, but thinking the Exped mat I use may be too chunky for room to move when inside...I shall report back
