2 man bivvy recommendations (17 posts / 2,448 views)

I'm thinking of getting a 2 man bivvy to take my boy/girl fishing with me, as well as trips to France.
I want twin skin, Windows front/rear in both bivvy and overwrap for air flow.
I like the look of the tempest 200 but it's silly money. Maybe to big?
And the Avid HQ looks quality.
Any other recommendations? I do have a tempest 100t but they don't do an extension for that.
Cheers

For the same reason as you was in the market for one of these a few weeks back. Ended up buying a Trakker Slx plus and am very happy with my choice. It is very large but easy enough to put up and away. Obviously not used it properly yet to give a full review but in terms of quality and value I am happy with my choice. I was also looking at the Cyprinus offerings and the Fox EOS TT

I got the cyprinus base HQ 2 man and whilst it's a great bivvy I wouldn't exactly class it as a spacious 2 man and not even with the overwrap on it either.

Have a look at the carp zone hurricane AS 2 man.

Very reasonably priced and ticks all the boxes

Definitely what others have said the slx is a great bivvy and has plenty of space. If the misses comes with me for a couple of nights there's more than enough room and she brings everything including the kitchen sink

I'm think along the same lines about a 2 man bivvy to take my lad and like the look of the SLX.

Is there much difference in size between the 2 man and the plus?

Is the 2 man plenty bi enough for 2 bedchairs?

I went for the plus as was bizarrely a little cheaper. More than enough space in this and would recommend for comfort and convenience with a kid

I've been thinking same - but more for height than internal space. I get proper "bivvy back" after a couple of days due to bending down to get in and out of my current bivvy.

Been looking at the Trakker Superdome, which is a monster, but only thinking about using it in France. Obviously, that outlay is not being made until after this bloody awful situation.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
