Our short bivvy buying guide
Throughout the years we have created a handy guide on what features you should look out for before buying a bivvy.
Firstly make sure the bivvy comes with good quality durable T-pegs and a compact carry bag.
Assuming you only fishing day sessions then a brolly type bivvy is ideal because of its lightweight structure and quick assembly, giving you more time to set up the rest of your gear and can also be super handy if it suddenly rains.
If you’re planning on using the bivvy for longer fishing sessions then make sure the bivvy comes with a heavy-duty groundsheet and find out if a overwrap is available as this will reduce any condensation, keeping you warm and dry.
Supposing you’re planning a fishing holiday abroad then a full bivvy system with front and rear ventilation is an excellent choice.
If you’re intending on taking a friend or partner night fishing or just want more space to store your gear then a two-man bivvy is highly advised.
