orite matey, i work at chapmans angling so should be able to help lol. 90% of bivvys dont have a peak but our best seller with a peak is the trakker slx v2 bivvy and wrap deal, 1 man is £249.99 and 2 man is £299.99,
a cheaper alternative is the wychwood solace advanced peak with overwrap at £199.99. Another way would be to bu a bivvy and over wrap seporatly like the pro logic new green dome for £179.99 and the overwrap for 69.99. IIRC you get them both for £224.99.
Apart from them 2 there might be cheaper takle shop alternatives. more expensive options are the chub vizor, nash double top and trakker armo, but there over £350
Ive personally just bought the prologic shelter and the material and structure is amazing, but bivvy wise trakker can not be beaten, hope this helps.

the wychwood is a good bivvy mate, i think its a little smaller than trakker, it all depends on your budget, personall i would go for the trakker one just for the quality of all there bivvys. but im sure you would have no problem with the wychwood one

can't even count how many nights i've used mine, and its still like brand new, been out in proper storms too and its rock solid when pegged out properly.
i have been thinking about upgrading it soon, i fancy a single skin, like a trakker armo

I have a trakker trident armo. There's a lot of love for trakker in this thread but the one I have isn't that great. It's a ball ache to take down and the winter skin doesn't fit that well. The best bivvy ever is the Nash titon viper.
