2 man bivvy

[Tucker68]

Hi All

Looking to buy a 2man bivvy. What do you recommend. I quite like the look of the Trakker armo mk2. Is it any good? Or should I look for something else?

Thanks all.

Ive got the carpzone hurricane 2 man, comes with overwrap and lots of features for around the same money as the one your looking at. Had it a few years and not let me down once.

Cheers Keeno. I'll have a look

+1 for the hurricane 2 man, a little on the heavy side to haul to the bank but well worth the effort, i also have a wideguy bed and could still hold a disco in it

Same mate, wide style bed and still room for full recliner chair to sit in. Lovely bivvy for the money.

I still havent mate, no need for the over wrap yet, still in its bag unused. Wanted to fish through winter but life got in the way. But i agree, easily another 50cm maybe more with the size of the peak on it.

I'd advise giving the jrc sti 2 man bivvy a miss, its a ball ache setting up and the bedchairs are a real tight fit going from the back of the bivvy to the front lol

Cheers pal. I was actually looking at a JRC STI. I'll give it a miss. Need plenty of room if I'm taking the missus. I've got a 1man Avid Hq and that's a nice bivvy. Don't know what the 2man is like.

JRC Contact 2 man is worthwhile though

Sound like a carpzone salesman here lol, But im sure cyborx will agree that the hurricane could easliy fit 2 wideboys with overwrap on going front to back with a nice gap down the middle. Ive see a few 2 man bivvys for around the money you are looking at and imo none come close. The other thing on the hurricane is the headroom. Tons of it.
