Robbo1804 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hey guys Im looking at buying my first bivvy within the next few months but unsure which one to get. I was looking at the sonik sks 1 man bivvy but cant find any customer reviews online any advice would be great. Also if you have any other recommendations could you try and keep them to the same price range of the sonik one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmarket Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 You can't go wrong with anything JRC but if I was in the market for a new Bivvy I'd be seriously considering the carp zone stuff . A 2 man is always handy too for the bonus space welder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno86 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) how long to put up dovii and how difficult a job? 5 minutes mate, not difficult at all. the rib sections break down into 4 sections and it all folds/unfolds neatly. the 2 man is huge, it comes in a huge carry bag which makes it all the easier to put away. if your thinking of getting one there are videos on both the 1 and 2 man on youtube. imo you wont get a better bivvy for the price. also the whole front unzips, ive not yet tried that out but will be on my trip next week Edited June 9, 2016 by Dovii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno86 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 To be honest I have never used the overwrap so cant say, but going by the size of the peak its probably gonna be close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
