Product Information

Full details

The Wychwood Epic Tactical Compact Bivvy is designed for anglers seeking a lightweight, versatile, and rapidly deployable shelter. Its primary benefit is superior weather protection with generous internal space, thanks to its integrated peak and robust frame. A potential consideration is its compact nature, which may be less suitable for extended stays or multiple occupants.

FAQs

What are the packed dimensions of the bivvy?

The product information does not specify packed dimensions, but it is designed to be compact and lightweight for easy transport.

Is the bivvy suitable for two people?

While it offers generous internal space for a compact bivvy, it is primarily designed for solo use. Two anglers may find it cramped for extended periods with gear.

Are storm poles included?

The product description does not state that storm poles are included. They may need to be purchased separately if required.

How do I clean the fabric?

Clean the fabric using a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What is the water resistance rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a waterproof rating of 20,000mm.

Can the internal storage pockets be removed?

Yes, the two internal twin mesh storage pockets are fully removable and can be repositioned on any of the internal side or rear bivvy walls.

Does it come with a groundsheet?

The product description does not mention a groundsheet being included as part of the full system.

Troubleshooting

Bivvy is difficult to erect or collapse.

Ensure all pole sections are fully connected and aligned. Check that the pivoting lever cam is functioning correctly and not obstructed.

Water ingress despite the fabric being waterproof.

Verify that all seams are properly sealed and that the integrated rain gutter is clear of debris. Check that zippers are fully closed.

Condensation inside the bivvy.

Open the rear ventilation windows and/or the main door slightly to improve airflow. Ensure all vents are clear.

Poles seem loose or wobbly.

Confirm that the anti-twist joint connections are securely fastened and that the pole sections are fully seated within each other.
