A carp bivvy is a type of shelter that carp anglers use to stay comfortable and protected from the weather during their fishing sessions. A carp bivvy can vary in size, shape, design, and features, depending on your preferences and needs. Here are some steps to help you purchase a carp bivvy:
1. Decide on the size and capacity of your carp bivvy. Do you need a one-man, two-man, or larger bivvy? How much space do you need for your bed, chair, luggage, and other gear? How often do you plan to use your bivvy and for how long?
2. Choose the type and style of your carp bivvy. There are different types of carp bivvies, such as pram-hood, dome, peak, or brolly systems. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as ease of setup, stability, ventilation, and protection. You can also choose between single-skin or twin-skin bivvies, which offer different levels of insulation and condensation control.
3. Compare the features and specifications of different carp bivvies. Some of the features you may want to look for are: the material and durability of the bivvy fabric, the strength and weight of the frame and poles, the quality and number of zips, windows, doors, and vents, the presence and size of a groundsheet, a front porch, or an overwrap, and the accessories and extras that come with the bivvy, such as pegs, carry bag, tension bars, etc.
4. Check the reviews and ratings of other carp anglers who have used the carp bivvies you are interested in.
