Bought this a couple of years ago used. Never had need to use it, decided to put it up adhave a look at it. Bugger me that was a ballache. All the videos make it look easy. Anyone got any tips on putting the thing up quickly? Please.
Before I sack it off down the skip

When bought one I found it easy to set up like any pram hood bivvy when packing away was a different story an absolute pig struggled like hell trying to pull the poles apart never known a pram hood bivvy like it was sweating just trying to put the poles apart then came the fun once it was broken down and rolled up couldn't get it all bag in the bag and zip it up . Took it straight back to the tackle shop for a refund

I own the 1 man version of this Bivvy, don't use it anymore as I snapped one of the pole spigots, tried to email fox but I'm still waiting for a reply 18 months later 😂.
I always had trouble taking poles apart, make sure they are clear of any grit and give them a lube. 👍

This was the first bivvy i brought. Struggled at first too but once i had used it 15 or so times it got a lot easier (bit of wear and stretch in the elastic i guess)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
