Product Information
Full details
The Avid EXO 2 RV Bivvy is designed for long-stay carp anglers who need a spacious, reliable, and quick-to-assemble 2-person shelter that balances durability with a budget-friendly price point. Its standout feature is the patented boss system and two-part anti-twist pole design, which makes set-up remarkably fast; however, at 17.9kg, it is a significant piece of gear to transport to and from the water.

Troubleshooting
Bivvy seems unstable during setup
Ensure all pole joints are fully clicked into place and verify the tension strap is properly adjusted.
Difficulty getting the bivvy back into the carry bag
Ensure the bivvy is fully deflated and rolled tightly, pushing out all trapped air before attempting to zip it into the bag.
Groundsheet doesn't seem to fit perfectly
Check that the bivvy frame is correctly square and all corners are pegged out to the correct dimensions (H150 x W290 x L280 cm).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the shelter, lay the groundsheet flat, connect the boss system sections, and snap the poles into place. Use the `Lok Down` adjustable storm poles to create tension in the front, and use the fabric tension strap to ensure the bivvy is square before pegging out. For care, always allow the bivvy to dry completely before packing it into the carry bag to prevent mold and mildew. Wipe down the `10,000mm` fabric with a soft sponge and clean water; avoid harsh detergents that could degrade the waterproof coating. Keep the PVC window clean with a microfiber cloth to maintain visibility.
