can anyone recommend a 1 or 2 man bivvy camouflaged or not?, must be easy and quick to assemble

Milo there are hundreds of bivvies out there as im sure you know and one guy puts one up in minutes where another guy takes ages, so every one is different in a million different ways, is there no where around you to go and have a look at some?

We have a couple on our site that go up easy enough, shop around and if you can, get to a shop to try some, good luck.

thanks for the reply, I've got limited time and was hoping someone might have found the perfect bivvy I'm not a carp man so maybe the go fishing show might help in a few weeks.
I'm still open to suggestions, thanks again

We go down there every year and the bivvy section is getting bigger all the time if you can wait that long thats the place to try them out mate.

Used to have the original nash oval brollie/overwrap served me well for many years.Have now got the JRC stealth brollie system as mentioned above not used it a lot yet but good value for money and very easy to set up. Ideal for short day/overnight sessions. Have also got the nash titan but prefer the brollie type set ups.

Would have to be the TF Gear force 8 bivvy for me, it can be put up in seconds. I see the tackle barn fishing webshop has some cracking deals on them at the moment too.
