EASY PEASY! Looking for a super mobile, incredibly light, unbelievably easy to set-up bivvy? Fox’s Easy Shelter is clearly the answer

Back in 2000, the likes of Chillcott, Pitchers and Helleur were casting aside their bulky, weighty and timely-to-put-up pram-hood bivvies in favour of the then new Fox Evolution Shelter. It became a cult classic. But in comparison to this, Fox’s 2017 version of the Evolution, that would now be classed as heavy and time-consuming when it came to setting it up!

The easiest bivvy to set-up is one which you don’t actually have to set-up, right? That means it needs to have a pop-up frame design like the one Fox have fitted their new Easy Shelter with. Remove it from the carry bag, let go and it’s erected in seconds. Breaking it down is easy too - just twist and go. It’s compact, too: it’ll fit inside your bedchair!

The seam-taped, hardwearing 2000mm hydrostatic head rating and front peak keeps the summer and autumn showers out, but the large mozzy mesh panel at the rear lets summer breezes blow through. And when the wind really kicks up, the three support ribs and heavy-duty pegs provide enough rigidity to withstand really heavy gusts.

And almost as clever than the actual pop-up design is the solid front panel option which features three vertical toggle fixings to allow you to roll the panel up in sections and peg out further to give increased coverage when in use.
