The range works together seamlessly to provide a smart and affordable solution for the most demanding angler. SK-TEK Bivvy Specs You get a full heavyweight groundsheet, mozzy mesh panel for the door, two storm poles and a decent carry bag, which is much better than forking out extra cash for the additional add ons. The spacious interior allows for easy movement and storage of your belongings. Additionally, this bivvy is equipped with multiple ventilation points, allowing for optimal airflow on warm summer nights.

The Frontier is extremely easy to assemble and goes up in minutes. If you’re like me and favour lightweight brolly systems that go up in seconds, then this bivvy could be the shelter that sways you away from brollies. The Sonik SK-TEC Bivvy also boasts a large peak for doorway protection, ensuring that you remain shielded from rain or sunlight when entering or exiting your shelter.

Weather can be unpredictable. Overwraps not only add an additional layer of protection but also extend the life of your bivvy. Why Sonik Stands Out I would recommend purchasing something with at least a 5000mm hh rating, more if your budget allows. A rating above this mark will definitely keep you dry in all but the worst European conditions. All of the bivvies on our review list above have no less than 5000mm of protection. 2. How Much Ventilation Does a Bivvy Need? There’s enough headroom to stand up straight inside the shelter and plenty of room for two bedchairs, a large table, and enough luggage and bait for a year’s worth of carping!

The large windows are equipped with mosquito nets to keep pesky insects at bay while still allowing plenty of ventilation. The shelter has a classic pram hood design with a sewn-in front panel with mesh windows. It’s easy to erect and comes complete with a groundsheet, pegs, and storm poles as well as a large peak for doorway protection from the rain. It features a centre hub for ease of setup and a zip-in front panel complete with mesh side windows for ventilation. This aspect allows you to use this bivvy as an open-front “brolly-style” shelter or a proper bivvy for longer sessions on the bank. Made from high-quality Aquatexx EV material, this bivvy is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while keeping you dry and comfortable inside.

The maximum space pole layout and inline tension bars give you plenty of room to move around inside without feeling cramped. Ventilation is an important factor when buying a new fishing bivvy. It’s even more important when buying a bivvy for 2 people because far more condensation can build up from the additional body heat.

The SK-Tek bivvy has a 5,000 mm hydrostatic head which definitely isn’t as high as some of the other shelters on our list but it’s more than sufficient to keep you dry in all but the worst European conditions. With front and rear mesh panels you can ensure you get decent airflow inside the bivvy to keep you cool in summer and reduce condensation in the cooler months. Gone fishin’? We all know there’s something magical about a day spent by the water, chasing the king of freshwater – the mighty carp!
