Sonik SKS 1 Man Bivvy Overwrap
The Sonik SKS Bivvy One Man was a breakthrough in bivvy built from the award winning Sonik brand. It also happened to be the first bivvy to have been manufactured by the brand, which might surprise you until you remember that Sonik was only established in 2008. In the short years since its conception, the brand has already established itself as one of the premier manufacturers of carp rods in the UK. The brand’s first adventure into bivvy design has already cemented its reputation as a major player in the carp fishing industry and now the brand have gone one step further, producing an overwrap for the iconic SKS bivvy.
If you thought the original SKS was an excellent winter shelter than you’ll be astounded by the additional benefits that the SKS overwrap provides. Manufactured from the same high quality 210 denier polyester as the bivvy, the overwrap is also able to provide a hydrostatic head rating of 5,000mm. This ensures that it is completely waterproof, protecting both you and your luggage when the heavens open. This material is also incredibly hard wearing. This means that you can store it safely throughout the summer months, ready for use in the winter, in the confidence that you won’t unpack it to discover it has sustained premature damage or wear.
The Sonik SKS Bivvy One Man Overwrap is ideal for use in the winter months as it effectively adds an insulating layer to your bivvy. This layer of fabric traps warm air inside the bivvy, helping to maintain the temperature of the bivvy and preventing you from lying awake in your sleeping bag all night long, unable to sleep because you’re far too cold. Being warm on the bank is far more important than you might expect, as all too often angling comes down to patience rather than pure skill. The angler who is warm, comfortable, and well rested on the bank is always going to be able to stay on the bank for longer. As such, they are much more likely to enjoy a successful session – or at the very least be sat on the bank content rather than miserable, even if they do suffer from a blank.
However, the Sonik SKS Bivvy One Man Overwrap can also be used to increase the storage space inside your bivvy, too. This is because the original bivvy is fitted with a storm peak and, as the overwrap pulls neatly over it, using the overwrap creates a nice front porch area. This is perfect for when you find yourself embarking on a longer session than your usual and in need of significantly more gear. Using the overwrap to create a porch area means that you can store additional gear with ease – without impacting on the space inside the bivvy itself. You can use the overwrap with the door rolled completely up. This allows you to fish with the mozzie mesh infill in the door, allowing a cooling breeze through the bivvy on the warmest and most muggy of days. This way, you benefit from the extra space that the overwrap provides whilst still enjoying the benefits of the Sonik SKS Bivvy One Man’s summer features.
The Sonik SKS Bivvy One Man Overwrap is supplied with a complete set of Sonik T-pegs, which have been especially designed for use with the Sonik bivvy range. These ensure that you can secure your bivvy into all ground types. If you’re looking for a high quality winter skin to revolutionise your seasonal angling then you can’t go wrong with the Sonik SKS Bivvy One Man Overwrap.
