Chub Vantage 1 Man Bivvy

Chub Vantage 1 Man Bivvy

If you want a one man bivvy that offers buckets of interior storage space for your bedchair and all your additional tackle then you need look no further than the Chub Vantage One Man Bivvy. Waterproof, spacious, and highly durable, this bivvy will see you through quick overnighters and week long sessions alike – it is the perfect carp fishing companion for the dedicated UK and continental angler. As with all top end Chub bivvies, the Chub Vantage One Man is manufactured from Chub’s own brand Climatex fabric. This is a high performance waterproof and breathable fabric which boasts a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating – ensuring that you not only stay dry form the elements outside but also that you are at minimal risk of condensation dampness.

The Chub Vantage One Man is built on a four section rib system, which has been purpose designed for easy setup. Simply slot the ribs together and peg the bivvy down for a quick and highly functional shelter that will keep you warm and dry no matter the conditions. The bivvy also offers a spilt pole design, as well as a wide angle back pole. This has been purpose created in order to maximise the space inside the bivvy, allowing ample room for even the biggest wideboy bedchairs. For a single man bivvy, the Chub Vantage offers tonnes of space inside and it boasts a footprint of 2.8m wide x 2.35m deep. This ensures that there is tonnes of room for your bedchair, luggage, cooking equipment, and any other gear you want to keep in the dry. What’s more, the bivvy is 1.35m tall, or approximately 4.5ft. This might not be tall enough for the average angler to stand in, but it is more than comfortable to sit and lay in, making this the ideal place to spend time on the bank when the weather is against you.

Ideally, the weather will be on your side for as much of your time on the bank as possible, as no-one really wants to be out in torrential rain and howling winds. The idea of spending a hot summer night in a stuffy bivvy can be less than appealing, however, and Chub has taken a number of steps to ensure that your time on the bank will be as comfortable as possible no matter the weather. The Chub Vantage One Man offers three mozzie mesh vents on the front of the bivvy (including the doors and two large windows) as well as an additional rear mesh window. These ensure that you can experience good airflow through the bivvy on the muggiest of nights – without risking nasty bug bites. The front windows also come supplied with clear window panels. These allow you to let light into the bivvy whilst still retaining its waterproof qualities, which is ideal if you’re spending time in the day inside your bivvy whilst it is raining outside. The door of the bivvy can also be completely removed, which is ideal if you’re setting up in mild and dry conditions and are going to be spending a lot of time entering and exiting the bivvy.

The Chub Vantage One Man comes with a heavy duty groundsheet and full set of T-pegs as standard. A unique four-point tension strap and an elasticated pegging system ensure that this bivvy can stand up to the most brutal conditions. An enlarged storm peak provides superior protection when things get really wet, channelling rain down the sides of the bivvy, and it gives additional shade from the sun in the heat. If you’re someone who likes a little company on the bank, or you just want even more space for all you gear, the Chub Vantage also comes as a two man option.
