Product Information

That’s exactly how they’ve marketed this bivvy. According to Fox, it;s ideal for anglers on a tight budget or newcomers to the sport.

The front is completely removable, making ideal for those who want to fish with an open front in the summer. Wouldn’t buy the ultra mine fell to pieces as did supa Brolly system, maybe wychwood I’d say as I’ve got a pioneer and that’s got to be really looked after and can’t see it lasting like my old one.

If you like copious amounts of room then two-man a carp bivvy will be a great choice. They are especially good for session anglers or people who fish abroad on a regular basis. With lots of room, especially with overwraps added, these really are a home away from home! Two-man carp fishing bivvies are also excellent if you take your partner or offspring fishing with you as you have room for all the essentials such as bait and rods. How To Choose Your Carp Bivvy And secondly, the ribs are cut down to just 55 inches. With most brolly systems having 60inch ribs, this might sound like you’re losing some space. But with the extra rib and two redesigned ‘wings’, you’ve got more of a round profile that adequately protects you and your gear. You will notice that it has a unique difference to the front though. This brolly features a peak at the front which helps to keep driving rain out when you’ve got the door set up letter box style. This is a nice addition that many brolly systems miss.The rear of the brolly features a huge zip down window with camo mesh panel. The camo mesh panel can also be zipped down to reveal the dual layer system which also features a zip panel to allow for maximum airflow. If you are an angler who only really fishes one or two nights at a time, then an umbrella style system may be your best bet as this is a range of carp fishing bivvies that can be easily stored. Many systems have zip in and zip out solid panels if the weather takes a turn for the worse during the summer. You can also buy dedicated overwraps for the winter, making this the perfect range of fishing bivvies to suit you and your impromptu fishing trip.

These bivvies come equipped with side panels and stable shelter for all weather conditions, allowing you to spend long nights by the water in comfort.

What has swayed me towards swapping to a Fox is the front extension that they do. It would mean I could take my dog with me. She wouldn't get in just the system alone, but with the extension, there'd be plenty of room for her. I know Fox brolly systems get a bad rep, but the Avid is so similar, they could be the same, so could have some of the same problems. It’s worth noting that most anglers tend to only use their brollies in the summer. But if you are someone who doesn’t want to fork out for a bivvy just for the winter, the AVID HQ is probably your best bet in this regard.

You can buy a brolly extension that zips on to the front. It’s similar to an open awning, giving you lots of extra room for socials, cooking, or just storing kit on longer sessions.
