How do I maintain the 10,000mm HH rating?
Avoid folding the material tightly when wet and do not use soaps or detergents. If necessary, use a specialized bivvy cleaner and reproofer.
Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to engage with the main bivvy
Ensure the main bivvy is pulled taut and not sagging. If the fabric is uneven, the zip teeth will not align correctly.
Water pooling on the roof
Adjust the tension of the poles and ensure all pegging points are tight to encourage water runoff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the extension, first ensure your Tactical Bivvy is correctly pitched and tensioned. Align the zips on the extension with the front of the bivvy and pull them across to lock the sections together. Insert the 16mm poles into the designated sleeves, secure the extension to the ground using the supplied pegs, and lay down the heavy-duty groundsheet. For care, always allow the extension to dry completely before packing it into the heavy-duty carry bag to prevent mold growth. Clean the fabric with a soft brush and water only; avoid using chemical detergents which can degrade the waterproof coating.
