Product Information

Full details

The Wychwood Tactical Compact Bivvy is designed specifically for the mobile angler who prioritizes quick setup and minimal gear weight without sacrificing weather protection. Featuring a 2-rib design and 10,000mm HH ripstop fabric, it provides a reliable shield against the elements in a portable 4kg package; however, its compact footprint may feel restrictive for anglers who carry large bedchairs or excessive amounts of tackle.

FAQs

What is the total weight of the bivvy including accessories?

The total weight including the groundsheet and pegs is 6kg.

Can I fit a wide-boy bedchair inside?

The compact design is optimized for standard bedchairs; a wide-boy may fit but will limit your remaining storage space significantly.

Does it come with a groundsheet?

Yes, a heavy-duty groundsheet is included in the package.

How do I clean the ripstop material?

Use warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid detergents or harsh chemicals that can strip the waterproof coating.

What is the pack-down length?

The bivvy packs down to 120cm in length.

Is the door removable?

The door is a zip-in design, allowing you to fully remove or roll it back depending on the weather.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting tension poles

Ensure the rear pegs are fully anchored; pulling the front forward properly creates the necessary tension to insert poles easily.

Excessive condensation inside

Keep the rear mozzy mesh vent open during the night to promote airflow.

Zip catching on the door flap

Ensure the fabric is pulled taut before zipping; clear any debris from the zip teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight at 4kg (6kg with full kit)
Small 120cm pack-down size fits most standard car boots
High hydrostatic head rating for reliable waterproof protection
Fast and intuitive 2-rib setup
Includes essential accessories like heavy-duty groundsheet and pegs

Cons

Compact dimensions may not accommodate larger bedchairs
Lower peak height might be challenging for taller anglers
Limited floor space compared to multi-rib or extended shelters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, lay the groundsheet in your chosen swim, unfold the 2-rib frame, and secure the tension poles to expand the structure. Peg down the rear points first to establish the footprint, then pull the front forward to tension the bivvy body.

Compatibility: This model is designed for standard-sized bedchairs. Measure your gear carefully before purchasing if using oversized wide-boy models.

Care Instructions:

Always dry the bivvy thoroughly before packing it away into the carry bag to prevent mold and fabric degradation.
Clean mud and debris from the groundsheet using a damp cloth.
Avoid storing in direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use to preserve the fabric's UV resistance.
