Bivvies, Shelters & Brollies

A rundown of the new Wychwood products lauched at this years IceTackle trade event!

Solar continues to add to the superior SP range with its own take on the modern brolly system.

We give you the lowdown on one of the most competitively priced bivvies you’re likely to ever see.

So you thought bivvies were all pretty much the same. I’m guessing a pole, material, a few pegs and your away – well think again. The Airflow uses quick-inflate ‘air poles’ that have replaced traditional heavy metal poles for a quicker set-up and unique design. Supplied with a quick-action pump, the rigid and puncture-resistant tubes are inflated within minutes to form a resilient shelter that on testing proved to be at least as stable as any conventional pram-hood bivvy.

No, we haven’t got the price wrong, you can purchase this two-man bivvy for well under £200. In fact, Angling Direct has even had it cheaper than the £174. 99 we have listed here! The overwrap has also been listed cheaper, so keep your eyes peeled and check the website regularly for a real bargain. If you fancy more room to take your loved one, house your dog comfortably or just want space and room to dry off when needs be, then look no further.
