FAQs

How waterproof is the NGT Profiler Domed Bivvy - XL?

The bivvy features a PU 5000mm hydrostatic head waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand heavy rain and wet conditions effectively.

How many people can this bivvy comfortably accommodate?

This is an XL 2-Man bivvy, designed to comfortably accommodate two anglers along with their bedchairs and essential fishing tackle.

Is the groundsheet included and is it detachable?

Yes, a heavy-duty PVC groundsheet is included, and it is fully detachable, offering flexibility for setup preferences.

What material is the bivvy made from?

The bivvy is constructed from durable 200D material, known for its strength and resistance to wear and tear.

Does the bivvy come with pegs?

Yes, the NGT Profiler Domed Bivvy - XL includes a set of heavy-duty bivvy pegs and a case for secure anchoring.

What are the benefits of the pram hood style?

The pram hood style provides excellent stability, particularly in windy conditions, and helps to effectively shed rain and snow, keeping the interior dry.

Troubleshooting

Bivvy feels unstable or sways in wind.

Ensure all poles are fully connected and correctly inserted into the base pins. Tighten all tension straps and securely peg down every available pegging point and guy rope. Check the ground for softness; re-position if necessary.

Water pooling on the roof or dripping inside.

Verify that the bivvy is set up taut, allowing water to run off. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric. If persistent, consider applying a seam sealant to high-stress areas or where stitching is visible. Ensure the pram hood is correctly positioned and secured.

Difficulty in packing down the bivvy.

Ensure all air is expelled from the bivvy before folding. Fold the fabric neatly along its original creases, starting from the ends towards the center. Disassemble poles completely. Practice folding and rolling it tightly to fit into the carry bag.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to open/close.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt and grit. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Space: Comfortably accommodates two people plus equipment.
Excellent Weather Protection: 5000mm waterproof rating and pram hood design shield against harsh elements.
Robust Construction: Durable 200D material and strong aluminum poles ensure longevity.
Easy Transport: Compact pack-down size makes it highly portable for its class.
Versatile Groundsheet: Detachable heavy-duty PVC groundsheet offers flexible setup options.

Cons

Large Footprint: The XL size requires a sizable area for setup, potentially limiting pitch options.
Assembly Time: As with most bivvies of this size, initial setup may take some time until familiarization.
Weight: While portable for its size, it is heavier than single-person shelters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Unpack: Lay out the bivvy, poles, groundsheet, and pegs on a clear, flat area.
Assemble Poles: Connect the aluminum pole sections to form the main frame arches.
Thread Poles: Carefully slide the assembled poles through the fabric sleeves of the bivvy.
Erect Frame: Insert the pole ends into the corresponding pins or eyelets and gently push up to form the bivvy's dome shape. Secure any tension straps.
Attach Groundsheet: If desired, lay the heavy-duty PVC groundsheet inside and secure it to the bivvy's attachment points (usually toggles or clips).
Peg Down: Use the supplied heavy-duty bivvy pegs to secure all guy ropes and pegging points to the ground firmly, starting from the back and working forward.
Adjust Tension: Ensure all fabric is taut to maximize stability and water runoff.

Compatibility

Angling Specific: Designed specifically for fishing environments, accommodating bedchairs, fishing tackle, and two adult anglers.
Environmental: Suitable for most weather conditions, thanks to its high waterproof rating and stable design. Ensure sufficient space for its XL footprint at your chosen pitch.

Care

Cleaning: After use, wipe down the bivvy fabric and groundsheet with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Always ensure the bivvy is completely dry before packing away to prevent mildew, odors, and material degradation. Hang it in a well-ventilated area if immediate drying isn't possible.
Storage: Store the clean, dry bivvy in its supplied carry bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Maintenance: Periodically check poles for damage, fabric for tears, and seams for wear. Repair minor issues promptly to extend product life.
