avid hq duel layer bivvy review

I decided to review my avid bivvy hq duel layer so if your looking a decent bivvy then hopefully this will help. the other thing is it was about a year ago and it was straight out of the bag and set up on the bank. please be gentle as is my first ever product review lol.

    Top review mate, good how you’ve shown how much room there is inside with your actual gear in. So many reviews on here are empty bivvys or brollys 👍🏻

    Thanks mate i agree, i think its better to have your gear in as you get a better prospect as to the actual size to how small or how big it actually is as it can be misleading.

    Hi mate thanks for the review! Do you think two 80cm wide and 200cm long bed chairs would fit in there front to back either side of the door leaving a gap in the middle to the door (like how a 2 man bivvy is set up)? I don’t want the 2 man bivvy as too big for the pegs where I fish it’s just for odd nights the misses comes with me! Any help would be much appreciated, tight lines 🎣. Ben

    Hello to be honest i don't know, side by side 2man style you might get away with as it is wide, but length ways might be a struggle. I personally don't think they will, if you took the front door section (zipped off completely) you would be prone to elements of the weather and limited space for kettle etc, sorry if this is not much help but I've never tried it to be fair.

    This or the Nash Titan T2? Anyone seen or experienced both? What type of groundsheet does this have, zip in or peg down? I like the ideal of an inner mesh capsule with the Titan T2

  • @Glynnyboy2

    @Glynnyboy2

    3 жыл бұрын

    I don't know about the titan apart from the price.But the avid comes complete with all (no extra purchases needed). The ground sheet is a heavy duty durastop and has no zip or velcro it comes with clips one at the back and two either side. The fact the vent at the back is multi choice to how you want it in the summer is up to, this is my choice and i don't regret it. But choice is up to you, pending on your budget.

The x system is only a little bit wider and in the hq duel layer you'll have no problem with space, so i will yes you should be fine, i hope this is helpful many thanks.
