Had mine for a year now, love it, I've not needed to use the storm poles as yet even with the overwrap through winter. Not sure if you did or not but didn't see you tighten up the velcro straps on the 2x short poles where s/poles screw on, this tightens the front and stops rain dropping off the top. It goes up incredibly quick once you've done a couple of times, Tight lines 👍🎣
Hi Glenn, Thanks for your comment. Yes I did tighten up the straps but didn't include its in the footage but thanks for pointing this out. Like you, I love this bivvy.
Hi Mike, like you video. We are 9 months further down the road now, do you still like it? Did there occur any problems with it? Any tips and tricks with setting it up or breaking it down you found out? Mine is on its way right now!
Hi, thanks for your comments. 9-months in and loving the bivvy. No negative issues to report. For tips and tricks on set-up pls watch my other video of on the bank set up. That said, it really is very straightforward to set up and pack down. hope you enjoy using yours when it arrives. Kind regards, Mike
I've had it for two years, it's easy to set up but it's a bit too small and the frame bends on one side. The paint on the frame is starting to peel off everywhere
