Things You Must Know About Bivvies

By Casper Vivianodeni


Anglers who are fond of fishing trips know for a fact that they should own this indispensable fishing equipment - a bivvy.

A bivvy, also referred to as a bivouac sack or bivvy sack, is a lightweight protection device most oftentimes used when camping outdoors. It's size is one that is just very suitable to fit over a sleeping bag and still offer protection from unpredictable weather.

It can be made from very lightweight material and can weigh less than a tent's groundsheet. The material is breathable to eliminate condensation, but also waterproof to keep a sleeping bag from becoming damp. The disadvantage of this simple bivyy is that there is humidity that condenses on the inner side leaving the occupant or the sleeping bag moist. Several innovations however have produced bivvies that address this problem since there are already those that are breathable and waterproof in the sense that it allows for seeping of humidity but still blocking water from coming in. Another improvement is the manufacturing of bivvies that are made of silnylon which adds 10 degrees Fahrenheit of warmth to you.

Bivvies are utilized in almost all camping trips but is also massively used in fishing. This growing popularity has inspired bivvy sellers to make several fishing bivvies. To help you decide what fishing bivvy to buy, here are some helpful tips.

First consideration is the style of fishing that you are accustomed to. There are anglers that like carrying light load while there are others who love bringing everything with them. Another consideration is the amount of time you'll spend in your fishing trip. If you are one that loves going on fishing trips for days then you would really need a bivvy that can stand all kinds of weather. The final thing to think about is the size of the bivvy. That bivvy shouldn't be one that's too oversized or undersized that you cannot put them up at any bank.

Considering all these things in your bivvy selection would ensure you that you'll have the bivvy of your dreams.
