[@drewclayton7954]

nice one for the review. im looking at purchasing this as my first ever bivvy to go night fishing in the spring. looking at getting the overwrap also. great video :)

[@mark6120]

Thanks for this review. New to carp foshing at 43 and this is just what i need. Wofe likes to come with me to read a book so need to keep her warm and dry for peacful fishing sessions.

Great review. Just ordered my son and I one each and was very lucky because most places are sold out. No so much with the skin yet so will have to keep my eyes peeled. It’s my first ever bivvy and I can’t wait to get out there. If nothing else at least I can blank in comfort.

Thanks for the comment 👍, you won't be disappointed... trust me, happy carping 🎣🎣🎣

Hi. I’ve had this one for a while but find it a pain trying to get the groundsheet in the right orientation so more often than not just make it flat then put my kit in. Is there a way of knowing? I can’t see any marks on it like an arrow pointing to the front. Thanks. Mat

I haven't been able to find the wrap in stock anywhere since summer when I got mine. at only £68 it goes out of stock instantly which is a shame

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

Hi, yep a few people have mentioned that to be fair. hopefully, fox will stock up and them again soon.

[@c0n0rr0b]

@@MarksCarpFishingDiary I managed to get an overwrap from the FatFish tackle website mate if you are still looking hopefully they still have one. There must be shops that have the odd one in stock since its not a well known bivvy compared to others.

[@kevinhall7347]

Totally agree mate. I have the Fox eosTT pro 2man bivvy, I don't have an overwrap but doing fine without it.

[@Marolin0]

Hey, what about rain, if you have ground sheet on, does it close well or there are some gaps where water can go in?

[@oobenoob]

Did you get the overwrap? And did you review it?

[@barr68]

Hi I just bought one and am stumped on what way the ground sheet is meant to sit I've tried it in most positions and can't get the velcro to line up. Had you any problems wit it?

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

yep, had a similar issue my self to be honest. I usually put it all together with the tension poles and just 1 peg in the back then find the right way that it goes in then eg the rest down. if I am being honest I dont use the groundsheet much.

[@ronanevans3661]

Great content mate been contemplating getting this as I'm new to night fishing

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

I wouldn't be without it tbh, I have the Fox R Series brolly which I have just got for days and single over nighters. but anything more and ill be using this still :)

[@markusmax8068]

good honest vid, cheers

[@Tony-ve4se]

Good vid mate unlucky for getting the windy day 👍

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

It's all good man, it was a good test for putting it up 🎣🎣

[@domas4463]

Hi, I have a problem with choosing Bivvy, so please help me :) Looking for the budget one.. 1. Fox eos 2 man 8000hh - 270euros 2. Jrc defender 2 man 5000hh - 180euros What do you think? Which one should I go with? Thanks

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

Hey man, honestly there are both decent bivvies, I haven't owned the JRC one but I know from other people that they are good. I personally chose the fox eos 2 as I wanted the extra space for when my wife joins me on sessions and it's been an awesome bivvy so far. If you get it you won't be dissapointed but all depends on your budget. Hope this helps 🎣🎣🎣

[@ObanHighlander]

Hi ! I recently got the one man version for pike fishing, I've not used it yet or even set it up, the plan is very soon to do my first overnighter, I've read from some people issues with condensation as it has very little ventilation, obviously in cold weather the risks of that are higher, I did buy the overwrap for it, have you had any issues with condensation ? and any general tips for using it? Cheers Mike :-)

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

hey man, I didnt bother with the overwrap as i always have the door fully open or letterbox style if its battering it down. and it saves on carrying more too :)

[@sedgy87]

Did you get a few nights pike fishing, how was it? Withstand the weather?

[@ObanHighlander]

@@sedgy87 had a few nights in it now, for the money it's hard to beat, keeps me warm and dry, would be nice to have some more air vents around it as it can get very warm in it, the groundsheet is rubbish, just a piece of plastic sheet, but then it's a budget bivvy, for the rest it's been good, no problems with it.

[@sedgy87]

@ObanHighlander i bought a quest tackle exp 2 man, not used yet, which is the exact same as the fox eos.only It has an air vent on the back also and is 10000hh, got the overwrap too am sure it'll be solid and keep me dry. Hitting loch awe September weekend. No issues with the rain then?

[@ObanHighlander]

@@sedgy87 that's my old home water, one of the most beautiful places to set up looking over to Kilchurn castle and the mountains, and some cracking fish there.

[@martinstaff5638]

How do you get in the summer in the heat with no vents dose it get hot

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

to be honest, it does get abit warm however i neve close the door fully on my bivvy. I very rarely close it at all even at night

[@kevinhall7347]

Fet the EOS TT pro mate. Vents everywhere and pockets inside as well

[@petarpetrov665]

Its so dark

[@MarksCarpFishingDiary]

Yes sorry this was in my early days of doing videos and wasnt quite there with the lighting.
