I've done a search on this bivvy,and looked at the other big thread..

Real world height wise,is this bivvy taller than a tempest brolly?

Cheers..

I've recently bought one so I can go night fishing for the first time but haven't used it yet. Is it easy to put up and pack down? Also would you put the ground sheet down first and then open up the bivvy over it or bivvy up first and then ground sheet?

Mate of mine bought one a couple of months back and the velcro on the front poles wasn't long enough to actually put it up, swapped it for a Tempest and hasn't looked back

I have the shelter version which is basically the same as the bivvy
Compared to my V1 Brolly the Axs has a lot more headroom
I can sit on the side of my bed and see out without having to stoop down 👍👍
I like it dead easy to put up and good quality material

Oh dear, the whole Bivvy tensions up via two Straps identical as you find on a rucksack, the two Velcro pads are to stick the tails of the straps on once tightened, so they don't hang down (They don't do anything else)

I've used one since they first came out - its been faultless

~ Groundsheet is purposely made so you fit it in after the bivvy is up, as it slopes upwards around the back and both sides when it clipped in, stops draughts I presume.

A slightly stronger word than “Daft” came to mind when I read your post

How do people use a bivvy light in this? Would magnetic hooks damage it?
