Vango Force Ten Solo Bivvy

[Madriverrob]

Anyone know anything about these bivvy's ?
Any links ? ( I can't seem to find any)
Are they goretex?
Any reviews or experience of use ?

Cheers

The force ten's are a well respected tent, i've never heard of them in the bivvy's?

There's a few posts on here about them http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/forum/gear/force-ten-solo-bivy-tent/5455.html

They seem a bit weighty 1.6kg for a bivvy, you could get a lighter 1 man tent, these days.

Rob, i put a few pics on here, of my 23 year old Vango hurricane beta. I picked it up in new unused perfect condion, ideal base camp, stormy weather, winter tent.

When i posted the pics, no one commented, so i thought i'd keep my mouth shut.

The Vango Force 10 bivvy bag was a tstandard top enclosing bivvy bag out of goretex about 5 years ago, out of breathable stuff. Given that force ten split from vango 2 years ago its not this seasons ! I should say the leaks are a faulty one.

The single skin 2 man tent was very popular and go for quite a bit of cash still. Sometimes referred to as a bivvy tent

The vango force ten tent was a tent from yesteryear that was so good it made it through to thesedays a lot like the landrover. Taken up everest etc.

The vango bothy bag is a bothy bag for multiple people, sometimes referred to as a bivvy.

Very nice mate, looks like it's hardly been used. Nice colour as well.

Aye, get a video review done, don't be copying me

I'm planning on getting out over the weekend, i'm just debating on, a camp site with my big old Vango tent or a wildcamp with my Exped tent.
