If you are currently looking to buy a new fishing bivvy, there are some factors to keep in mind in order to make a good selection. These tents are primarily used by people who enjoy carp fishing, since they can offer protection while waiting for the fish to bite. When shopping for fishing bivvies, one of your prime considerations should be shelter from the cold, snow, hail, sleet or rain. Here are five features to look for when buying a new fishing bivvy.
One of the primary features it should have is a waterproof material. A bivvy that is waterproof and yet still breathable will keep you warm, dry and comfortable. A model that has air vents can be a good choice is you plan to fish in warmer weather. Be sure your air vents are covered by a close mesh so that you will not be bothered by insects. A good ground sheet is also important for comfort, dryness and warmth. You will also want to look for a bivvy that provides a large door way with secure tie backs. This will make it easier to move your equipment in and out of the bivvy. It should also be sturdy enough to withstand a hard rain or snowfall. Choose a model with at least twelve peg points, as this style will be able to withstand even strong winds. You should also look for a model that includes a winter wrap for extra protection and warmth.
When choosing the size for your fishing bivvy, you will want to take equipment storage into consideration. If possible, choose a bivvy that is large enough so that you can have both your fishing chair as well as your bed chair set up at the same time. This can be extremely convenient as will add to your overall comfort and enjoyment while angling.
