UK Exclusive First Review! The improved version of Prologic’s Frame-X bivvy, I first got a glimpse of the X1 at Carp In The Park, but then more recently I saw it properly while out on the 7 Top Tips shoot with Prologic-backed Rik Johnson this month. I was immediately impressed by how quickly the innovative X-Frame design allowed Rik to set it up, literally a few seconds, even quicker than a pram-hood design. Once up, it was also absolutely drum tight and extremely solid. Even my efforts to shake the life out of it saw the X1 barely yield an inch.

There’s no shortage of companies selling sunglasses these days and Hobo Armour is one such firm that seems to be doing a good job of it. With a line-up of six frame and lens combinations, all with a fashionable take, there’s surely something for most anglers in the range. When we had these in the office, interestingly, each of the TC staff chose a different version as their favourite. Mine was the clear frame with blue lens, which I thought looked pretty funky! Brown/brown, white/black, frosted/gold, black/aqua and black/blue complete the collection.
