Troubleshooting
Bivvy is difficult to tension evenly
Ensure the frame poles are fully seated. Adjust the tension using the ETS BOSS system, starting from the center and working outwards. Check that the groundsheet is correctly zipped and not interfering with the frame.
Water ingress during heavy rain
Verify that all seams are properly sealed and that the fabric is taut. Check the hydrostatic head rating; if very old, re-waterproofing may be necessary. Ensure pegging points are fully secured.
Mosquitoes or insects entering the bivvy
Ensure all zippers on the door and side vents are fully closed. Utilize the solid or clear infill panels when not using the mozzy mesh option. Check for any gaps around the groundsheet.
Frame feels unstable in windy conditions
Securely peg all anchor points. Utilize the supplied storm pole and attach additional guy ropes to the storm cord eyelets for maximum stability.
