JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact Bivvy Wrap
Combining the ease of brolly setup with the durability of a ribbed bivvy system, the JRC Stealth Bloxx bivvy series really has taken the modern carp fishing market by storm. In both its original form and its new compact model, the Stealth Bloxx is an excellent tool for the discerning angler who refuses to compromise with their dream carp fishing setup. This is the overwrap for the JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact and it forms the perfect addition to the already impeccable range. If you’re an angler who wants enjoy comfort on the bank on even the coldest nights then this overwrap is perfect for you.
The JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact Wrap is manufactured from the same Hydratex material as the original bivvy. This is JRC’s specially designed waterproof material which combines lightweight durability with a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm. This means that it can withstand up to 10m of water pressure before it begins to soak in or leak, so it is more than waterproof enough to withstand the force of a classic British rainstorm. Not only this, but the overwrap also features tape sealing throughout. This is because the seams of most bivvies tend to be their weakest points as the stitching creates thousands of miniscule holes in the fabric which, over time, allow water to enter the bivvy. Tape sealing eliminates this risk, ensuring that the seams of the JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact Wrap are just as durable as the main body of the fabric.
The JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact Wrap features a two way door system. This means that you can use the overwrap in a letterbox manner, which is ideal on those especially cold days when you want to enjoy the full protection of a wrapped bivvy system whilst still having a scenic view over your swim. In the warmer summer months you can also swap out this solid door for its mozzie mesh alternative and you can lift the solid panels off the mozzie mesh window vents. These allow excellent airflow through the bivvy on muggy days and are ideal for keeping out any of the nasty bankside critters that plague both the UK and Europe. These ventilation points all align perfectly with the vents in the original bivvy, too.
The original JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact is fitted with a storm peak as standard, so by placing this overwrap on the bivvy you can create an additional porch section. This gives you buckets of extra space which is ideal for the storage of those tackle items which are essential for bankside life but you might not want to have cluttering up the main interior of your bivvy, including your bait and bait buckets, your collapsed barrow, and any other luggage items. This is especially useful if you’re planning on a longer than average angling session as it ensures that you never feel like you have to leave vital items behind (leaving you unprepared on the bank).
If you’re looking for a highly versatile, lightweight, and compact shelter system which combines all the best elements from both brolly and bivvy setup then you can’t go wrong with the JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact. To transform this into a year round shelter, or simply to allow yourself a little additional wiggle room on the bank, you need the JRC Stealth Bloxx Compact Wrap!
