Wednesday Review - Advanta Discovery CCX DPM One Night Stand Bivvy

Reviewed by Carpology Magazine… Carpology-Logo-Blog

We take a close look at one of Angling Direct's newest launches, the mega Advanta Discovery bivvy… now in DPM!

NOT CONTENT WITH selling kit from the biggest brands around, fishing retail leviathan, Angling Direct, has a super popular range of hardware all of its own. That range now includes the impressive Advanta Discovery CCX DPM One Night Stand Bivvy. The burning question you’ve got for us is: ‘Is it right for me though?’ It’s a good question, and you’ve come to the right place…

The Big Questions

1. What’s new then? Just the camo? Just the camo? This is anything but just camo! We’re talking the finest British Army DPM (disruptive pattern material), a firm favourite of the most influential carpers ever to have picked up a carbon. It’s as trendy now as it’s ever been, with hardened veterans, as well as the fashion-conscious whippersnappers now rocking this pattern everywhere from the rod butts to the water butts.

2. Will I like it? That all depends of course, on what type of angler you are! You’ll love this shelter if you’re into packing light, but retaining more than a modicum of comfort. Yes, it’s compact, but it’s more than big enough for your standard overnighter… in fact, we reckon that you’ll be more than comfortable in one over the weekend. The way that the bivvy is configured, principally thanks to a flat back, allows you to maximise internal space by pushing your bed up against the back. Clever stuff.

3. Any cool features? Yes, bags of them actually. Let’s start with the versatile front panel. It boasts mozzi-mesh windows and door, which can be zipped up if the weather turns foul. A three-quarter storm peak ensures that even driving rain can’t penetrate the bivvy, when the front is fully zipped up.

4. Sounds great, but what do we get with it? How’s about this for starters… tension bars, heavy-duty pegs, detachable, lightweight ground-sheet and oversized carry bag (why some companies make carry bags that fit like a glove is totally beyond us!)
