Product Information
Full details
The Wychwood Epic Tactical Bivvy Full System is an ideal choice for carp and coarse anglers who prioritize shelter durability and internal space without sacrificing portability. Offering a high-performance 20,000mm waterproof rating and a robust 5-rib aluminium frame, it ensures protection in challenging weather; however, its substantial size and specialized feature set make it best suited for longer sessions rather than quick overnight trips.

Can I remove the front panel?

Are the storage pockets removable?
Yes, the two internal twin mesh storage pockets are removable for convenience.
Is the groundsheet permanent?
It is a heavy-duty zip-in groundsheet, meaning it can be installed or removed depending on your preference or the terrain.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty closing the lever cams
Check for debris or dirt in the hinge mechanism and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Condensation buildup inside
Utilize the rear tactical mesh windows and ensure the front mozzy infill is used to increase cross-ventilation.
Groundsheet zipper is sticking
Ensure the bivvy is pulled taut and even; if the tension is uneven, the zip will not align correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bivvy, unfold the frame and extend the ribs until the pivoting lever cam clicks securely into position. Peg down the rear of the bivvy first to establish the footprint, then pull the front forward to tension the structure. Use the zip-in groundsheet to maintain a clean environment. To ensure longevity, always air-dry the bivvy completely before storing it in the supplied heavy-duty carry bag, as packing away damp fabric can lead to mildew and degradation of the waterproof coating. Regularly check the aluminium joints for debris to ensure smooth operation of the cam levers.
