Hi All,

I am in the market for a new Bivvy after an absolute disastrous 48 hours where I turned up to a lake that I have never fished before which was probably one of the worst looking and run places I have ever come across in my life (im 54) and to make things worse my bivvy poles snapped whilst i was setting up which has resulted in the bivvy going in the bin and not fishing at all!

So I am now looking for a new 1 Man Bivvy. I would like it fit the following criteria.

Cost - Up to £230.00
1 Man Brolly or Bivvy System.
Only used in Spring or Summer, so does not need to be winter hardy but must be 100% waterproof
Not bothered if it has a groundsheet or not.
Would prefer a system that does not let water in the front door (therefore possibly with a "Skirt" around the front edge.
Needs to be quite easy and quick to set up.
Must be big enough to a an XL bedchair and quite a bit of equipment - baitboat etc

Really would appreciate a few pointer or advise please - have been looking on the internet but just going around, around and around.

Many Thanks

Baz

Ive got the Sonik AXS bivvy absolutely brilliant. Its a bit above your budget but if you look around you can find it for about £240ish. Comes with groundsheet, zip off front, vents etc. If its a little bit too much and your happy to not have the front and groundsheet look at the shelter version which is about £150.

Think for the money it can't be beat

Check out the Fox EOS bivvy, the Total Tackle version is slightly upgraded with vents etc, I have the 2 man version, and it's brilliant for the money!
