Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Tackle Bedchair Cover is an essential accessory for long-session carp anglers who need a versatile sleep system that adapts to changing weather conditions. It is perfect for those looking to add an extra layer of thermal insulation to their current sleeping bag during colder months or use it as a lightweight cover during warm summer nights. While it offers excellent versatility, it does not replace a dedicated sleeping bag for extreme winter temperatures, acting instead as a supplementary thermal layer.

FAQs
Is this cover waterproof?
It is weather-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and heavy dew, but it is not a fully waterproof shelter component.
Can this be used on its own?
Yes, it is excellent for warm summer nights when a full sleeping bag is too hot.
Does it fit all bedchairs?
It is designed to fit standard-sized bedchairs; however, it may provide less coverage on extra-wide or XXL systems.
How do I store the cover?
Fold it carefully when clean and dry. Avoid leaving it compressed in a damp bag for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fleece.
Is the DPM pattern consistent?
Yes, the cover features the standard Gardner Tackle DPM pattern, consistent with their other DPM-range luggage and accessories.
Troubleshooting
Cover feels cold to the touch
Ensure the fleece side is facing inward towards your body to allow the thermal material to trap your heat effectively.
Build-up of condensation
Ensure the sleep system is adequately ventilated and the cover is not pulled too tight, allowing moisture to escape the breathable fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the cover is straightforward: simply unfold it and drape it over your bedchair or sleeping bag. For added security, ensure the edges are tucked slightly under the mattress or weighted down if windy conditions are present.
Regarding compatibility, the cover is designed to fit standard-width bedchairs. If you are using an extra-wide system, ensure you center the cover for maximum thermal coverage. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe down the DPM outer layer to remove mud or debris. If a deeper clean is required, hand wash in cool water with mild soap and allow it to air dry thoroughly before storage to prevent mildew.
