Solar Tackle - UnderCover 2 Man Bivvy Shelter with Mosquito Mesh Protection, Waterproof Carp Fishing Tent with Heavy-Duty Groundsheet, Camouflage Tent Shelter for Day and Night Fishing, 10,000 HH

Product Information

The large square internal space can accommodate two bedchairs and two anglers’ luggage. Alternatively, it can be used as a large social area/ dining room. It has plenty of headroom and even the tallest angler can walk in and out of the shelter with ease. Features such as dual layers or additional overwraps are great as they help reduce condensation, increase ventilation, and keep the inside of the shelter a bit more insulated from the heat of the sun and the cold of the night. This article should’ve given you a clear idea of the best 2-man bivvies on the market, their greatest features, and who they’re best for. Hopefully, our buyer’s guide has also given you some food for thought, so you can make an informed decision when purchasing your new shelter. The EOS 2-man bivvy is definitely not winning any awards in terms of features or stand-out innovations, but it does exactly what it should as a large shelter for two carp anglers.

This bivvy has a space-efficient interior that allows you to locate two bedchairs on either side with plenty of room to spare for two anglers’ luggage and bait in the middle. The main attraction of the Ascent over the HQ Dual Layer is definitely the price. This comes in at around half the price of the HQ. It’s also lighter (without the overwrap). Alright, they aren’t cheap and they’ll get you spending more money with all the fantastic add-ons available. However, if you’re looking for a shelter that’ll last a lifetime, that you’ll always be able to get parts for, and that is extremely customisable, a Trakker bivvy is a great choice. In that case I can happy recommend for you. It's well made, easy to put up and whilst I've only used the bivvy a handful of times, the brolly has taken some abuse and has stood up to everything so I'm very happy with the build quality. Both are very good prices so I would suggest go for itHave done two week long sessions in France with it on my own, and also done about 6 or 7 weekends in it either fishing or camping with the Mrs and Dog. This bivvy definitely isn’t cheap but if you’re looking for a large 2-man shelter for continental or long-session UK angling, this is a fantastic choice. Of course, the first feature you should look for in a 2-man bivvy is internal space. However, there are several other features that you should look out for when purchasing a new bivvy for 2 people. The bivvy features a rectangular X-Frame design with a hydroX 300D ripstop shell. It has a sewn-in PVC groundsheet, removable flysheet and plenty of mesh ventilation panels on all sides. This is a classic pram hood style bivvy that’s absolutely massive. Their promo video even shows a small van driving inside the shelter.

It features mesh ventilation panels on all four sides that can be covered with roll-down solid fabric for rainy conditions. The 15,000 mm 420D nylon shell can cope with any weather that may occur in Europe. Most of you are probably here looking for a 2-man bivvy to accommodate two people. So, although they may be heavier, you can spread the load between two people. For example, you could load one barrow up with a bit more luggage and one with the shelter. However, some of you may want a two-person bivvy for yourself… Let’s take a look at five factors to consider before you get yourself a new 2-man bivvy: 1. How Waterproof Should a Bivvy Be? The Trakker SLX is another bivvy that comes in a 2-man variant. This is a high-quality shelter that is perfect for the angler who wants a bivvy that’s big enough to accommodate two people without being a burden to transport. You can’t go wrong with Trakker. I have several friends who swear by Trakker Brollys and Bivvies and they fish in some pretty brutal conditions.Ventilation is an important factor when buying a new fishing bivvy. It’s even more important when buying a bivvy for 2 people because far more condensation can build up from the additional body heat. The Trakker SLX V3 bivvy is the third generation of this product, complete with loads of new features. It's no wonder this bivvy has won multiple awards for “Best in Class” many times over. It’s not huge inside but there’s enough room for two anglers and their luggage. What really makes this bivvy special is the epic build quality, great ventilation, adjustability, and the wide range of add-ons available separately.

Ventilation is all well and good, but unless you can leave the vents open in the rain you’ll still get condensation inside the bivvy when you’re zipped in. Dual-layer bivvies, overwraps, or other means to keep the rain out while letting air in will allow you to keep air circulating no matter the conditions. More specifically, if you’re looking for one of the absolute best 2-man shelters currently available then the Trakker Tempest 200 is definitely worth a look.Having adequate ventilation will maximise airflow inside the bivvy. This will help keep it cool during the warmer months and reduce condensation during the cooler months. I would recommend purchasing something with at least a 5000mm hh rating, more if your budget allows. A rating above this mark will definitely keep you dry in all but the worst European conditions. All of the bivvies on our review list above have no less than 5000mm of protection. 2. How Much Ventilation Does a Bivvy Need? Its solidly built as you would expect from solar. It will easily fit two beds in it with a fair bit of room for bags etc for a weekend fishing. Pretty easy to put up just needs a few goes on it. Simply put, bivvy manufacturers conclude this rating by testing how much water it takes in millimetres before the fabric breaches. The amount of water the fabric can stand before leaking is labelled as the hydrostatic head. This dual-layer system helps hold heat in the winter without condensation forming on the inside of the tent. It also helps keep the interior of the bivvy cool during the summer months.

Consider whether you need a bivvy that will accommodate two anglers throughout the year. If you’re planning on fishing with a 2-man bivvy through all four seasons you’ll need to make sure that it can keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. The best 2-man bivvy should be large enough to accommodate two bedchairs and two anglers’ luggage with plenty of room to spare. Like any bivvy, a 2-man should be waterproof and breathable. Breathability is especially important with two-person shelters as the combined body heat can create a big condensation issue.

Overall, this is a great all-round bivvy that’s fit for all-season carping. It’s not massive inside but it has enough room for two anglers and their belongings. It’s extremely well-designed and is constructed from high-quality materials. The price isn’t too bad either. This bivvy has large mesh panels on the front and rear. The rear panel runs the length of the bivvy and provides fantastic airflow throughout the shelter’s interior. The front has two mesh window panels and a large mesh door panel. The whole front infill can be rolled up or removed to create an open front shelter for warm weather use. The rear vent now comes with zippers to increase ventilation. It ensures you don't get too hot or too cold while inside. Plus, dual zippers at the front allow for letterbox opening, so you can control how much light and visibility you have.
