Designed to optimise a fishing shelter, the Deluxe Wrap is a practical solution for improving comfort on the bank without complicating your setup. This accessory works as a bivvy overwrap and front extension: it adds extra coverage to the front of the shelter and helps create a useful buffer zone for organising tackle, protecting the entrance, and improving day-to-day comfort during long sessions. The stated 60 cm extension adds a noticeable sense of extra room, especially when the weather turns or when you want to reduce the amount of moisture and mud brought into the bivvy.
With a design made to align with the bivvy structure, the wrap follows the existing openings and airflow paths. The result is improved condensation management and more consistent air circulation, two essential factors for staying dry and protecting your gear. The system is also designed for efficient setup, keeping the “session” mindset intact: quick installation, secure fastening, and enhanced stability when properly guyed out.
The first benefit of a wrap is weather protection: by adding an external layer and extension, you reduce the main fabric’s direct exposure to spray, wind, and rapid temperature changes. This “double skin” also helps reduce the feeling of dampness inside, especially on cool nights when condensation can build up. In changing conditions, the advantage is twofold: you improve sleeping comfort and better protect your belongings stored near the entrance.
The second major advantage is the extra space. The front extension makes organisation easier: changing clothes, making a drink, storing a bag, or dealing with wet boots becomes simpler. With the right setup and when used with a front panel, the additional volume can also help accommodate two bedchairs, depending on the layout and how you use the extended area.
Finally, the dual-zip ventilation is a real plus: you can fine-tune airflow without opening the entrance fully, helping maintain a more stable and comfortable environment inside the bivvy.
To get the most from this bivvy overwrap, install it on a clean shelter that is properly tensioned. Carefully align the vents with those on the bivvy to achieve consistent airflow, then adjust the zips according to the weather (more open in mild conditions, more closed when the wind picks up). Use guy lines and, if your setup allows, storm poles to improve stability in windy conditions. After your session, let the wrap dry as much as possible before packing away, then clean it with fresh water if needed to help preserve the fabric and zips.
“Since adding a wrap, my nights have been much more comfortable: less moisture, better protection at the entrance, and a real gain in space for organising my tackle.”
Question 1: What is an overwrap used for on a bivvy?
Answer: It adds a protective layer and a buffer zone that helps improve comfort, better manage moisture, and create useful extra space at the entrance.
Question 2: Is it complicated to set up?
Answer: No, it is designed for quick setup thanks to dedicated fixing points (Velcro and D-Loop) and tension/guying adjustments.
Question 3: Can I leave the vents open in the rain?
Answer: You can adjust the opening with the dual zips, but the correct setting depends on conditions. The idea is to keep enough ventilation while avoiding direct water ingress in shifting winds.
