Has anyone seen one of these in the flesh yet ? I know the material they use is fantastic as I have one of the brollies.

The mechanism looks really interest in the short image footage Ive seen.

Any comments ?

Unfortunately no one will pay nearly £600 for a wychwood bivvy no matter how good it is.

Why not, folks pay silly money for *****monkey, Nash et al. I still use my Solace brolly, it's a great bit of kit.

It's already down to £540 at one shop and it will only get cheaper when they don't sell

Soley because carp fishing is a fashion statement and no one will pay the same money for a wychwood bivvy when they can get a trakker, fox or aqua bivvy for the same money or even less. I only paid £500 for my aqua ultralite and that also came with a skull cap.

I will if the bivvy is good, the brand i dont care.

My exp with bivvy's so far:

-Trakker: Every year I have to have the bivvy repaired despite its high price
-Fox Frontier no complaints
-Nash double top/hide a quality drama


I'm going to start a syndicate this year after a 14 year waiting list, but I have to walk quite a distance with the barrow, so I'm looking for something lighter and compacter then the Fox XD, Nash is off the table, I rate Wychwood itself higher than the dramas that Nash puts on the market every year , the 18 at carp den bosch I hope to be able to see the new wychwood then I will decide.

I've seen one in the flesh, independent angling in Doncaster have one set up. I didn't properly look at it only in passing and was impressed that they've made the skull cap zip in under the peak.
