If you notice that your bivvies waterproofing has diminished over time despite proper care, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed specifically for outdoor gear materials.

If you found the previous suggestion just a little too large, then you will want the same features and quality, but in a smaller version. The Sonik SK-TEC Bivvy also boasts a large peak for doorway protection, ensuring that you remain shielded from rain or sunlight when entering or exiting your shelter. The Sonik AXS overwrap essentially adds an extra layer to the shelter and also features a zip-on/off panel. What makes bivvies easy to set up are storm poles. These are strips of carbon or metal that you thread through eyelets on the bivvy material. You bend them and secure them and they maintain the shape. Most of the best carp fishing bivvies that you see will use this system.Whether you opt for a compact single bivvy or a spacious 2 man bivvy, there's a design tailored for every situation. The 2 man fishing bivvy, in particular, is a popular choice for those who prefer company, allowing ample space for two, ensuring comfort without compromising functionality. This example is not as tall as the one above at 184cm in height – that’s just a touch less than 6ft – and its floor coverage measures 390cm x 310cm, which is still a good sized bivvy for use by two or three – but would be a push for a fourth man. With ultra-light aluminium poles – as used in the above – making this easy to carry, it’s a great example of why you might want to take one bivvy for three of you, rather than carry one each. 3. MK Carp 3.5 Man Bivvy One of the best features of the Sonik AXS Bivvy is the strong centre hub which makes setting it up fast, plus it weighs just 9.2kg (the one-man version) – which is half the weight of the Fox Retreat+, and just about pips the Avid Carp HQ Dual Layer Bivvy which weighs 10kg. Unique twin-skin design, waterproof outer with fitted integral mesh. Set up in half the time of other twin-skinned bivvies. During the day and if it is sunny this bivvy is open plan with a wide exterior. If the weather closes in simply zip on the front for 100% waterproof protection. At 10,000MM it will withstand rain, sleet and even snow! Any vulnerable areas gain the benefit of reinforced seams for the ultimate in protection

For easy transportation, it comes with a carry bag so you can take your bivvy anywhere without hassle. I feel the combination of an overwrap and inner capsule really does help balance the internal temperatures. Final Thoughts: Why Buy The Sonik AXS Bivvy? This bivvy doesn’t compromise on features either, as it comes with double seals throughout to avoid leaks and ensure water-tightness, upgraded poles to prevent breakage, and zipped and velcroed rear mozzy vents for added airflow.
