elmoputney Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I'll start they are a new design an extreme rrp, not sure I would be able justifying the 2nd mortgage but they seem well thought out Good features I noticed Magnetic mozzie window, Headroom Quick to put up Awning (for family fishing) Double up as a football goal 😁⚽ Might be worth seeing how they fayre in the bivvy market as they are pricey will be interesting to see what sort of price they actually sell for after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayvid Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I guess because its a different concept to a Bivvy im not sure I like them , but thats not to say that after seeing a few on the bank I may well come to love them . Elmo you should have posted the price ,I now have to find it myself 😂😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayvid Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 [censored] me £800 for the 1 man 😲 https://ridgemonkey.co.uk/de/products/escape-bivvy-range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 No shortage of headroom in the 2-man, 1900mm, 6ft 2". I'd struggle to justify paying a grand for a bivvy, although they do seem well thought out. Ian. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscsha Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Seems some companies are just pushing the boundaries it will be interesting to see how they sell and what the competition do . Price seems extreme but when you've got people paying £1000 a year for one water and turning up in vans that they only use for fishing , may be it isn't. I'm more against the size of these things (I don't like big flat man made swims argh)to be honest the two man with extra front is NOT a bivvy its a tent , maybe ok for the sort of foreign adventures the ridgemonkey boys do but not for the average joe . One reason the size may be big is due to Jay Cater be a lump ! elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Ridge Monkey really are the Apple Mac of carp angling. There is a square bivvy been on the market for years can't remember the make but they were on the bank at one of Barstons BCAC rounds?

marker Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 can't say i'm a fan of ridge monkey, everything they do just seems to be a copy that can be bought elsewhere cheaper so I swerve them the one thing i'm interested in buying this year is a baiting pole, i'm just waiting for some feedback on them first, i'm interested in the corus and nash ones if anyone has used them salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, pop over to our stand and I’ll talk you through all the benifits of the bushwhacker. It’s so different than anything else on the market and in my honest opinion, so much better. yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
