cobleyn Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'd agree with Jules on the quality of the double top- but they are very heavy and an absolute pig to put up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamclose Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Double top is goood bivvy if you fish big pegs and have no intention of been mobile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â What double top have you got!, easiest bivvy to put up and not that heavy when you consider the quality, i use the original DT mk1 single man and i can have it up in less than 5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtaylor Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Think I've seen a double top once, was taken by the sheer size and weight of it in the bag. Looked like the guy had a body bag with 30 stone geezer in it. Â Does weight and mobility not come into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisbickle Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Domes offer a far better height etc to weight ratio...pramhoods have a set place...the weight outways the comfort compared to a dome surely???....will stick with the 60in brolly...life too short to maul all that malarky now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemsue5 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Got my bivvy out last week for the first time this year for a 48hr session, soon realised why i've come to hate session fishing lol just to much gear to lug around. Anyway a back to the original post about bivvys i can highly recommend the chub vizor or the new chub cyfish dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 i have the original chub cyfish 2 man. quality but heavy with all the bits. as said, any pram hood will be heavy tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
