Product Information

Whether you've set out on a trip during some rubbish weather, want to be more protected from the elements, or simply need a safe place to sleep during a more extended trip, these bivvies are lifesavers. Below, we've rounded up ten of the best 2-man bivvies available in 2023, all with varied features and benefits to meet the wide-ranging needs of anglers. 1. Trakker SLX V3 Bivvy and Twin-Skin Inner Capsule — Best All-in-One Bivvie Bivvies provide the comfort and shelter necessary for a pleasant fishing trip with a mate. Even better than a one-person set-up is a 2-man bivvy to ensure you and your tools stay protected and dry. The EOS 2-man bivvy is definitely not winning any awards in terms of features or stand-out innovations, but it does exactly what it should as a large shelter for two carp anglers. Looking for a new bivvy that’ll accommodate two people can be a hassle. There are so many on the market now and it can be hard to filter through them to find out what will work best for you.

You can also save weight by leaving additional items such as storm poles, groundsheets, overwraps, and extra pegs at home if you’re concerned about overloading yourself, your carp barrow, or your dinghy. 4. Do You Need an All-Season Bivvy? Overall, this three-rib pram hood bivvy is a spacious and comfortable shelter to use throughout the year. For cold winter sessions, definitely consider purchasing the inner capsule as this will greatly improve its performance.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. If you want a 2-man bivvy to accommodate more kit and provide a bit more comfort for holiday-style sessions, you may be concerned about weight. In this case, I’d opt for something such as the Trakker SLX or Sonik SK-TEK. These bivvies have a large internal space but cut down weight by using fewer ribs and lightweight fabric. 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. Having adequate ventilation will maximise airflow inside the bivvy. This will help keep it cool during the warmer months and reduce condensation during the cooler months. Rod retainers are another useful feature worth mentioning. However, most bivvies (certainly the 12 on our list) have these nowadays.

I have asked them a few times to so a wrap for it to help with cooling in summer etc. and give a tiny bit of extra room at the front. They replied and said they were looking at it once but never seen anything and my guess is they will release something else instead. 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. Weighing in at 10.4 kg, this bivvy is extremely lightweight, considering it’ll accommodate two bedchairs. Now, this shelter certainly isn’t as big as some of the others on the list but if you and your angling partner want to be a bit more mobile, this could be the bivvy for you. Most of you are probably here looking for a 2-man bivvy to accommodate two people. So, although they may be heavier, you can spread the load between two people. For example, you could load one barrow up with a bit more luggage and one with the shelter. However, some of you may want a two-person bivvy for yourself… It’s only going to be used a few times a year but still wanted a decent one for us to use when she comes

Consider whether you want a 2-man bivvy that can double up as a large social space or day shelter. Features such as removable front panels and large peaks make 2-man bivvies more usable for socials and summertime fishing. The Fox EOS 2-man bivvy is a shelter from Fox’s budget range (EOS). This range is for those who are a bit more strapped for cash but want the best quality for their limited budget. I’m actually using an EOS shelter at the moment ( the EOS brolly system) and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the build quality and durability of the product. It’s also compatible with the R-Series internal dome. This provides you with a second skin inside the shelter that essentially acts as an overwrap. This helps insulate the bivvy and eliminate condensation. Have done two week long sessions in France with it on my own, and also done about 6 or 7 weekends in it either fishing or camping with the Mrs and Dog.
