Product Information
Full details
The Ultralite 100 Bivvy Skull Cap is a dedicated accessory designed for serious anglers who use the Ultralite 100 Aquatexx EV 1.0 shelter system. It serves to transform a single-skin shelter into a high-performance twin-skin setup, effectively eliminating condensation and providing an extra shield against driving rain and wind. While it offers significant comfort upgrades and protection, users should note it is specifically engineered for this model and is not a universal fit for all bivvies.
