Product Information
Full details
The Sonik AXS-V2 XL Internal Capsule is designed for dedicated anglers embarking on long-term fishing trips who require a modular layer of protection inside their shelter. This clip-in inner capsule excels at keeping insects at bay while providing significant thermal regulation, making it ideal for both extreme summer heat and cold overnight sessions. While it offers premium comfort and insect defense, users should note that installing the capsule reduces the total internal floor space slightly, which may be a consideration for those storing bulky gear.

FAQs
Can I leave the capsule inside the bivvy while folding it up?
It is highly recommended to remove the capsule before packing down your bivvy to ensure both the main skin and the capsule do not get damaged or snagged during transport.
Does this capsule protect against rodents?
While the sewn-in groundsheet provides a good barrier, it is primarily designed to keep insects out. Always keep your bivvy closed and food stored in rodent-proof containers.
How much weight does it add to my setup?
The capsule adds 2.2kg to your overall weight, which is relatively light given the level of protection it provides.
Will this fit the standard AXS bivvy?
No, this is specifically designed for the XL version. It will not fit the smaller standard AXS models correctly.
How do I clean the groundsheet?
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents as they can degrade the waterproof coating.
Troubleshooting
Capsule feels loose or sagging
Check that all internal toggles are fully secured to the bivvy frame loops. Ensure the groundsheet is properly tensioned at the corners.
Difficulty reaching bivvy vents
Ensure the internal zip-back panels are correctly aligned with the bivvy vent locations. Use the dedicated internal zippers rather than trying to pull the fabric aside.
