Tucker68 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno86 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyborx Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 +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 keeno86 and davedave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. cyborx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker68 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 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. keeno86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 JRC Contact 2 man is worthwhile though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
