Description
Nash Titan Hide – Base / XL Edition
Overview
The Nash Titan Hide range offers lightweight, fast-erect shelters designed for anglers who want a quality bivvy without the bulk of a full “pro” model. The “Hide” focuses on value, mobility and practicality. The XL version gives extra space and headroom, making it a good choice for larger bedchairs or longer sessions.
Key Specs & Features
-
The standard Hide model: approx dimensions 132 cm (height) × 255 cm (width) × 180 cm (depth) for the 2024 version.
-
Pack-down length around 112 cm.
-
Weight for standard: around 6.2kg (Hide 2024 spec) in green version.
-
Waterproof rating: 10,000mm hydrostatic head construction.
-
Features: enlarged rear climate panels, internal removable vapour shield to reduce condensation.
-
XL version adds a larger footprint and increased head-height; ideal for bigger chairs or two-person gear layout.
Why Choose the Hide / Hide XL
-
Lightweight & mobile: Compared to full luxury bivvies, this offers high functionality with lower weight and pack size — great if you move swims, use a barrow or travel.
-
Good space in XL: If your bedchair is wide or you’re packing a lot of gear, the XL gives that extra room.
-
Value oriented: You get many of the core features you’d expect on premium shelters (vapour shield, decent climate panels) but at a more modest price than full “pro” models.
Things to Consider
-
While the construction is strong, it may not match the absolute top materials used in the Pro versions (lighter fabrics, higher hydro head rating, extra reinforcement).
-
Height is modest on standard version — taller anglers may prefer the XL or Pro XL for better headroom.
-
If you frequently fish in extreme weather or need full multi-night luxury, you might step up to the Pro model for added features.
Nash Titan Hide Pro / Camo Versions
Overview
The Titan Hide Pro and Pro Camo versions take the Hide platform and elevate it: higher end fabrics, more features, camouflage look (if you like the stealth aesthetic) and improved specs. Ideal for anglers who want light weight and quick setup, but don’t compromise on shelter performance.
Key Specs & Features
-
The Camo Pro version: 20,000mm hydrostatic head Aquasense construction in camo fabric.
-
Dimensions (Camo Pro): maximum width 240 cm, depth 195 cm, height apex ~122 cm, weight ~6.5kg, pack-down 114cm.
-
Features in Pro versions: ultra strong centre boss, extended front bar design with rain peak & storm gutter, 4 individually zipped mozzi mesh panels for airflow, internal camo vapour shield.
-
Available in Green (standard Pro) or Camo print as aesthetic / stealth choice.
Why Choose the Pro / Camo Versions
-
Higher spec materials: The 20,000mm hydro head in Camo Pro gives enhanced weather protection vs standard.
-
More airflow & vapour control: The additional mesh panels, vapour shield and better airflow make it more comfortable in both warm and cold conditions.
-
Stylish & functional stealth look: The camo pattern offers a low-profile footprint and aesthetic appeal.
-
Fast setup & practicality: Strong frame, fast erect design, quality carry bag — these features help on longer sessions or adverse conditions.
Things to Consider
-
Price will be higher compared to the standard Hide. You’re paying for the premium features.
-
While weight is still good (~6.5kg), if you are ultra-mobile and carry everything long distances you might still pick a very lightweight bivvy instead.
-
If you don’t require the extra spec (heavy storms, long stays) you might accept the standard Hide and save some money.
Green vs Camo – Which Style?
-
Green fabric: Subtle, blends well in most UK venues and bankside vegetation; good classic look.
-
Camo print: More specialist aesthetic, blends very well into reed/wood-lined swims, may appeal if you prefer a tactical look.
Both styles in the Pro range share the same tech and spec — the difference is largely appearance and fabric print.
Which One Should You Buy? – Quick Guide
-
If you fish short to mid sessions, move swims frequently, carry a moderate bedchair and want a lightweight, good value shelter → go for the standard Titan Hide or the Hide XL if you need the extra space.
-
If you fish long nights, use large bedchairs, want extra comfort and weather protection, choose the Titan Hide Pro (green or camo) or Pro XL for maximum headroom and footprint.
-
Consider your transport: if you walk far with kit, aim for lower weight; if you drive or barrow you can afford slightly heavier but more comfortable shelters.
-
Factor in your sleep system: big bedchair + gear = you’ll appreciate more internal width/depth, so the XL or Pro XL versions pay off.
Final Verdict
The Nash Titan Hide range gives anglers a flexible choice between value-orientated shelters and premium spec models. Whether you pick the standard Hide, the Hide XL, or step up to the Pro / Camo variants, you’re getting Nash build quality, smart design and practical features.
If you want a lightweight shelter that doesn’t compromise on core features, go Hide. If you want the best spec, best comfort and best weather protection (with a stealth look if you like) then the Hide Pro or Pro Camo is a top choice. Either way you’ll be in a shelter you can trust, session after session.
