I think your best bet,is to put the best bivvy question to google.Dedicated
freshwater forums will no doubt have many Q+A discussions,regarding bivvies.
The lads on these sites use their bivvies all year round,so you know they've
been put through their paces by seasoned bivvy anglers.Some of them stay
in them for weeks!
I have a fair bit jrc gear,and although it's not the lightest,it's good heavy
duty swag that lasts.
I done a lot of research lately for my mates wife who wanted 1 for around £150 for his 40th.
The JRC STI is a top class bivvy with an RRP of around £270, You can pick them up now for as little as £130 if you are lucky.
Fishing republic Sunderland has one in for £150, You may get 10% club discount.
The main advantage is you are getting the winter wrap, This is a must this time of year, even good in heavy rain, bird crap etc.
My other mate has had 1 for years and my mate who turned 40 was over the moon with his.

When I was there a few weeks ago they had 1 boxed ready to go for £150.
Go-outdoors was selling them in the sale for £127 but it was the Manchester and York outlets and they won't deliver them.
Let us know what you get, That's the trouble in the North East, We don't have a tackle shop that stocks a massive amount of gear.
If you go to the likes of Bristol anlging, England angling, Sues angling you are spoiled for choice.
Go outdoors are good for the bivvys as they have them up for you to view.

Go Outdoors only had a few choices so went to fishing republic and you were right jim they had a boxed sti twin skin boxed ready to go so i asked the lad and he said the 1 man or 2 man to which i replied the 1 man...then i asked which was the 2 man as my mate wanted one, he showed me it was on display and the same price at £149.99 so got the 2 man! Bargain for the same price as the 1 man

You really won't be disapointed as they are a top end bivvy, The benefit of this one over the 2 you mentioned in your initial post is you get the twin skin. That alone would cost around £90, and the STI comes with a heavy duty upgraded ground sheet.
