No, it's the 3 
Wierd how Fox don't play the heritage angle of the Frontier, almost like its a handicap to mention it was out 20 years ago to the younger angler.
Nash seem quite comfortable with legend being used with the Titan.
Maybe it reflects on the break in Frontiers production...who knows...but to deny it was the original & Mk1

my back still hasn’t recovered. I’m 5’10” and have to pretty much double myself over to see out of the thing properly. Hopefully a Frontier will be a lot better height wise as well as for useable space.
Exactly the reason I'm waiting for feedback on the new block frontier in xl size, might have to wait a while...hmm

Best thing for my back was getting a bedchair buddy. Another thing to carry but worth its weight in gold.
ps visibility out of the frontier is pretty good esp if you letterbox it.

If you letterbox the door and you have a skull cap you can quite easily see out without having to be a limbo gold medalist.

Cheers for the replies all. Keeping my eyes peeled for a decent second hand one with all the bits I want.
I fished last week and actually spent some time in the bivvy as I didn’t have to pack up at 6:30 the following morning (for the first time this year). The weather was pants so I was in the Tempest more than usual and my back still hasn’t recovered. I’m 5’10” and have to pretty much double myself over to see out of the thing properly. Hopefully a Frontier will be a lot better height wise as well as for useable space.

the eos is a pramhood, the eos pro is fan out style...I think it looks quite decent for the money tbh...I too think a new frontier lite would be decent.

I thought it was a pram-hood, but obviously not. Seem so strange, a "Lite" Frontier II would clearly get a lot of interest.

its their entry level fan out style bivvy, maybe the demand and sales didn't warrant a new style frontier lite

Surely not! It’s vastly different and nothing like a “lite” Frontier!

the fox eos pro is the frontier lite replacement
|
|
|

Available for £150 on TFT at the moment... so tempting. I had a stco alert this week from them for the Infill and when I clicked in the link it was oos. I ticketed them, out of interest to see if it was a mistake, and was told it wasn't - they had one from Fox but it sold straight away. The agent thinks that will be it now, it's definitely discontinued.
Is a v2 on the horizon? Can't see anything from Fox.

I believe the Standard and the Lite are the same size, so should fit, as you say. Different material though (weight + colour differences).

Based on what I’ve read, the regular infill from a fox frontier would also fit the frontier lite…
2 Dutch shops have it still available. Maybe a last resort?

I’ve got one, it’s a good shelter, but it’s definitely not ‘lite’!
I’ve been a brolly user for years so perhaps I’ve got used to the size and weight of a brolly, but it’s quite heavy and quite bulky IMO.
Plus bits: it’s really roomy, very stable, and quick/easy to put up and down.

The Frontier Lite is rock solid. I really rate it for space vs size / weight and it’s brilliant value for money. I use it for any trip longer than one night. Much more expensive shelters have been and gone.

I got mine for £250. The package was shelter, groundsheet, solid infill and vapour peak. I love it only be using with vapour peak so far but love it.

I think the the fox eos pro co.i g out in ja uary will be what replaces the frontier lite, it looks decent for £299, slightly bigger than the frontier lite and 1kg heavier but still only comes in at 8kg I think it was.

My mate has a frontier lite, it looks nice.
It seems much bigger than my tempest 100, nice flatter back, higher door so less limbo.
A couple of things put me off though...
It seems less solid, a bit wobblier, I'm sure that flat back won't divert the wind as well, but the main gripe is the vapour peak can't be left attached when you collapse the bivvy.
I wonder if they will sort that on the mk2.

Is there a new Frontier Lite in the next lineup? Don't remember seeing anything...
I'd really like a Lite setup but I think I've left it too late, doesn't seem to be any accessory stock anywhere

I'm in exactly the same boat as you, thinking about the Fox Flatliner, have the Air V2.
As the guys have said, being discontinued, my take on it, if you're not in a rush I'd buy one, some very good prices out there right now. The bits you want will always be getting listed on Ebay, espesh when the new versions launches shortly, so if you're not in a rush, win win

The new range of frontiers was announced last month and due out soon ish hence all current stocks being sold off cheap until gone.

Hi all,
First post here in a while!
I’m considering a new shelter and wanted some opinions/knowledge. I’ve had a Tempest v2 brolly for a number of years that used to be adequate until I got a new bed (Flatliter mk2). This now takes up a lot of the Tempest’s useable space due to the sloping back.
I’ve had a look around and the Frontier lite looked the perfect solution - flat, high back so the bed fits better, still light enough and a zip in mozzy mesh which I always use these days
The issue is, I can’t seem to figure out if they’re being discontinued, along with all the extras?? The shelter is available cheap (£175), but the compatible mozzy mesh seems very hard to come by and all infills & vapour peaks etc are out of stock.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Happy to hear any other options too. I barely fish these days - a 12 hour overnighter a month if I’m lucky, so need something relatively compact, quick to put up/take down, and sensibly priced but offering more space than the v2 brolly.
