Trakker Cayman Bivvy Wrap
Once upon a time overwraps were considered the preserve of the weak angler who didn’t know how to cope with the demands of winter overnight fishing. However, as the years have passed, it has become more obvious that the angler who is comfortable, well rested, and prepared on the bank is always going to be more successful than the angler who is none of those things. An overwrap really can make the difference between a night spent shivering on the bank, unable to sleep, leading to a poor performance the next morning, and an undisturbed night leading to a productive session the next day. Keeping warm, comfortable, and well rested is especially vital if you’re on a longer session, too, as all those sleepless nights soon stack up against you on the bank.
This is why overwraps have grown massively in popularity in the recent years and you’ll now struggle to find a bivvy on the market which doesn’t have an accompanying overwrap. The Trakker Cayman Two Man is certainly one of the finest bivvies on the market today and this Bivvy Wrap converts it from a high quality single skin to an exceptionally durable, weather resistant dual skinned outfit which is perfect for use year round.
As well as adding extra insulation to a standard bivvy, an overwrap can also help massively in terms of condensation. One of the biggest problems than anglers face on the bank, no matter what time of year they target, is condensation forming on the inside of their bivvy. This is caused by water molecules (both breathed out and evaporating off gear) hitting the cool skin of the bivvy and condensing. By adding an additional layer to the bivvy you never have to worry about this occurring as it keeps in inner skin significantly warmer than it would otherwise have been.
The Trakker Cayman Two Man has a fitted storm peak which, when you add the bivvy wrap, converts into a front porch area. This is ideal if you’re going on a longer session and you’re in need of additional storage space for some of your angling essentials. Bait, buckets, and even your deconstructed barrow can all be stored in this front porch area. This keeps them tucked out the way, as well as out of the rain, and ready for use when you need them the most – freeing up vital space inside the bivvy for you and your angling partner.
Not only is the Trakker Cayman Two Man Bivvy Wrap an excellent choice for all your cold weather angling, it is also ideal for summer fishing too – particularly if you’re headed to the continent for a week or two to sample the best of European carp fishing. This is because the door of the overwrap also contains a mozzie mesh vent option. This is ideal for letting cool air circulate through your bivvy on muggy bankside nights, without also inviting in a huge range of bankside menaces – such as mosquitoes and gnats. This door also perfectly aligns with the door on the original bivvy, meaning that you can keep one or the other open all night long and ensuring that you don’t have to struggle with two sets of zips in order to respond to a call from you or your partner’s bite alarm.
Originally established in the 1980s under the name of Rainbow Angling Supplies, Trakker is considered the premier manufacturer of UK carp fishing luggage. The brand produces a huge range of holdalls and rucksacks, as well as other bankside essentials such as bedchairs, sleeping bags, and landing nets, in order to allow you to make the most of your time on the bank.
