I use one of these when the Mrs comes with me, cracking bivvy and think you can get an overwrap for it too if you need it.

Carp-zone hurricane AS model are cheap as chips and are a pretty decent 2 man bivvy.

I only ever use mine in France so can't comment how it fair using it on more regular basis.

I've had the EOS TT Pro for a couple of seasons. Pro version has rear vents, so if you're only using in winter I suppose you wouldn't need them. I use it for longer winter sessions instead of a brolly system, and when I take my lad.

I've had no issues at all with it, can easily get 2 bedchairs plus gear in but it's a pramhood style so easy to put up on your own - I had a Tempest 200 which is sound, but massive and on the windy banks of the Trent was like trying to hold onto a circus tent.

Nice big peak on the EOS as well which keeps out most of the winter weather.

I didn't realise Carp Zone were still going

Edit: just checked and they dissolved in June ‘23, I assume any warranty went with them
Are you sure?

Yes, continue
