The Insulated Bivvy Mat is designed to create a barrier against damp and cold, and is constructed ...The Insulated Bivvy Mat is designed to create a barrier against damp and cold, and is constructed from durable, water-resistant material which can be wiped clean should it become soiled. It is a particularly useful item when fishing without a groundsheet or when using shelters such as the Tempest Air, Tempest Brolly or MC-60 Brolly, which only have three-quarter, or half groundsheets. The Insulated Bivvy Mat can be used in muddy pegs to provide a clean area to put your feet when sitting on, or getting in/out of bed. Slide the mat under your bed once you are inside your sleeping bag, and the mat creates a barrier between the damp, cold ground and the underside of your bed. When fishing with a groundsheet, the Mat can be used as a place to step on in muddy boots, or remove your boots before getting into bed, and helps to keep your bivvy groundsheet clean. The Insulated Bivvy Mat comes supplied in its own drawcord sleeve.
This guide is for anglers seeking to enhance their bivvy comfort and protection from the elements.
