Trakker Cayman 1 Man Bivvy Wrap
The Cayman bivvy series from Trakker has to be one of the best two rib bivvy series on the market. Lightweight and with a small breakdown, this bivvy has compact transportation on its side. What’s more, the two rib structure ensures that you can make the most of the space inside your bivvy too and, for the dedicated carp angler, that has to be the perfect bivvy on the market for you. There isn’t much Trakker could think of to improve this bivvy, except perhaps providing it with an overwrap. This is exactly what the team at Trakker has done and you can now purchase overwraps for both the one man and two man versions of the bivvy.
This is the overwrap for the Trakker Cayman One Man Bivvy and it is perfect for the angler who wants to be able to tackle the water in even the coldest winter conditions. The Trakker Cayman Bivvy Wrap One Man adds a second skin to your bivvy, transforming your already versatile outfit into a complete year-round shelter solution for the most dedicated angler. Adding a second layer to your bivvy increases its heat retaining properties dramatically. This can make the difference between spending a night on the bank shivering and unable to sleep, and a night of undisturbed rest – excepting the inevitable scream from your bite alarm, of course. The link between being well-rested on the bank and performing well is becoming ever more apparent, so it makes sense to take as many steps towards ensuring your comfort as possible – particularly in adverse conditions.
The additional insulation that an overwrap provides also goes a long way towards eliminating the risk of any condensation. When you exhale you don’t only breathe out air but you also breathe out moisture. Couple this with any damp tackle that you might have in your bivvy overnight and you could very well end up with a dripping ceiling by morning. This is thanks to the process of condensation, by which the airborne water particles rise, hit the cold skin of the bivvy, and condense back into water droplets. Adding an extra layer to outside of your bivvy prevents the inner skin from becoming quite so cold – eliminating the cold barrier which condenses the water and practically negating any chance of condensation forming on the inside of your bivvy.
Another huge benefit of the Trakker Cayman Bivvy Wrap One Man is the additional room it adds to your bivvy. The original Cayman is fitted with its very own storm peak. When the overwrap is placed over this it creates a front porch area, which is ideal for storing your bait making equipment, dismantled barrow, and other luggage items that you do not want cluttering the vital space inside your bivvy. Should you not need this additional space, or if you’re using the bivvy in the summer months and you want to increase the airflow into it, you can completely roll back the side of this overwrap. This effectively transforms your bivvy into an open fronted shelter for all your summer angling. The door of the overwrap also comes supplied with its own roll-up mozzie mesh window in the door. This means that you can let air flow into the bivvy without also letting in mosquitoes, gnats, and other bankside bugs.
The Trakker Cayman Bivvy Wrap One Man is manufactured from 4oz nylon, which ensures that it is completely waterproof. It offers a transportation weight of only 3kg (including pegs) and a pack down size of 48cm x 30cm, making it incredibly easy to transport between boot and bank, too.
