FAQs

Is this wrap compatible with other bivvy brands?

No, the Sonik Bank-Tek Bivvy Wrap is specifically designed and tailored to fit the Sonik Bank-Tek Bivvy 1-Man only.

What is the waterproof rating of the fabric?

The wrap is made from 10,000mm HH (Hydrostatic Head) ultra-waterproof fabric.

How does the wrap help in hot weather?

The twin-skin design creates an insulating air gap that helps to keep the bivvy cooler by reducing direct heat transfer from the sun.

Can I use this wrap as a standalone shelter?

No, this is an overwrap designed to be used in conjunction with the Sonik Bank-Tek Bivvy 1-Man. It does not have its own independent pole structure.

What is included with the wrap?

The wrap comes supplied with an oversized carry bag for easy transport and heavy-duty T-Pegs for secure anchoring.

How easy is it to set up?

Setup is designed to be quick and easy, utilizing rear elastic points that loop over existing bivvy pegs and a straightforward pegging system at the front.

Troubleshooting

Excessive flapping in wind

Ensure all rear elastic points are securely attached and all front T-Pegs are fully inserted and taut. Consider using additional pegs if conditions are severe.

Water pooling on the ground around the bivvy

Verify that the wrap's tension is even and that the groundsheet is correctly positioned. Ensure pegs are angled slightly to provide better hold.

Condensation still present

While the wrap significantly reduces condensation, complete elimination may not always be possible. Ensure adequate ventilation by utilising the roll-back front option when conditions permit.
