Bivvy Overwrap

[...]

Hi all, might sound a cheapo but is there like any Universal bivvy overwraps or do you have to buy the one that matches your bivvy...mine would be £79.99 and i didnt even pay that for my bivvy..

Its difficult to find a generic overwrap now. It used to be possible to get a wrap that fitted over any standard umbrella, but now with everyone making umbrella's, it doesn't seem like there is a single overwrap.

I have wraps for both my bivvy's & on the long winter sessions they definitely help keep the condensation down & ice out & warmth in .

I agree with big Phil about the eradication of condensation when using an over wrap. Another advantage is that the "porch" area is usually increased giving useful extra dry storage area. I use an old JRC STi Twinskin which has to have a wrap by design but I bought the extended JRC wrap and useful space is dramatically increased.
