Chub Vantage 2 Man Bivvy
The Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy is the perfect option for the angler who demands comfort, performance, and practicality on the bank. First things first, the bivvy is manufactured from Chub’s very own high performance ‘Climatex’ fabric, which has a hydrostatic head rating so good it practically has to be experienced to be believed. After all, a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating equals those of the most high performance flotation suits, so you can guarantee that this bivvy will keep you dry even in a torrential downpour. With some bivvies, this would be its defining feature. For the Chub Vantage, this is just the beginning…
The back of the Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy is almost completely flat. This means that unlike other bivvies, the Chub Vantage doesn’t sacrifice any space whatsoever. This means that not only is there enough room for you and a mate in this two man bivvy, but you can bring as much luggage as you like with the confidence that you’ll be able to pack it all in. If this hasn’t convinced you that this bivvy is hugely spacious then maybe its dimensions will: the Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy is 1.55m high, 3.05m wide, and 2.9m deep. Admittedly this will stop your from pitching u in the nations tightest swims, but this big size will ensure complete comfort for you and your angling companion. To match the bivvy’s bigger size, the Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy comes with an enlarged storm peak. This ensures that you and your mate are afforded ample protection against the elements. You can sit in the doorway of the bivvy watching your rods together, safe in the knowledge that you’ll stay dry and protected from the wind.
The Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy is able to offer this big size thanks not only to its flat back but also to its unique four-section rib system and split pole design. This means that it can accommodate even the biggest wide-boy bedchairs that there are on the market – perfect for the robust angler. The ribs of the bivvy are manufactured from 16mm 6061 aluminium, which ensures that this bivvy isn’t going anywhere in even the highest winds In-line cam-lock tension bars also act against the strongest of winds and maintain the structural security of the bivvy. The joints of the ribs are quick release, too, which not only makes slotting them together easy but it also means that it is incredibly quick to deconstruct this bivvy – perfect if you’re cutting things close to the wire and you need to make a quick exit from the bank. The Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy comes with its very own heavy dity groundsheet, which can be attached to the bivvy with a dual clip and elastic pegging system. This means that you won’t suffer from any groundsheet slip, as you can with lesser quality bivvies, and is ideal for keeping the damp out on especially cold or frosty nights. The bivvy also comes supplied with heavy duty T-pegs as standard, for securing the bivvy in the perfect position.
As with all Chub bivvies, the Vantage Two Man Bivvy comes supplied with interchangeable front panels and door section. This means that this really is the ultimate year round bivvy – in fact, you can even purchase an overwrap, should you be someone who really feels the cold. However, in the summer you can remove the doors or exchange them for mozzy panels. This ensures that you can experience a luxurious breeze on even the stuffiest of nights, whilst also not worrying about suffering from multiple mosquito bites. The unique back draft ventilation system further aids the movement of air through the bivvy. You won’t get anything other than a luxurious night’s sleep in the Chub Vantage Two Man Bivvy – so long as your bite alarm doesn’t keep you up!
