JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy

JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy

If you were looking for a top quality bivvy to keep you dry in the winter, cool in the summer, and sheltered year round whilst carp fishing, then you need look no further. The JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy is one of the finest bivvies that JRC has ever designed – in fact it was even voted as the Best Gear of the Year for 2015 by the readers of Angler’s Mail.

What really sets the JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy apart from the rest on the market is also the thing that gives it its name – the compact central block. This is a central block into which the seven ribs of the bivvy slot, similar to the style of a brolly. Unlike a brolly, however, this block sits on top of the bivvy rather than inside it, ensuring that you can enjoy maximum head space. It also makes bivvy set up extremely quick. Simply lay out the groundsheet, as you would with any traditional bivvy, and then lay the bivvy on top. By grasping hold of the two front facing ribs (the ones immediately to the left and right of the front panel) and pulling these forward, you can erect the bivvy in an accordion-like manner. Pegging everything into place, your bivvy is ready for use in mere moments!

One of the other great features of the JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy is its versatile front panel. This can be completely removed from the bivvy if, for example, you’re enjoying a short day session, converting the bivvy into a large open-fronted brolly. The door on the front panel is doubled zipped, so you can use it in a letter box style. This is perfect on bitterly cold days when you need all the shelter you can get from the elements whilst still being able to enjoy a panoramic view over your swim. When it is too cold for even a letter box, you can fit the door with its clear PVC panel. This allows you to watch out over you swim without any disturbance from the wind or rain. On balmier days, you can swap out the solid green or clear PVC panel for a mozzie mesh. The windows of the bivvy also have mozzie mesh fittings, as do the two rear vents. These allow you to enjoy the breeze on a muggy night, without incurring nasty bites from bankside bugs.

The JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy is manufactured from high quality waterproof, which has a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating. The bivvy also has tape sealed seams throughout, too. These ensure that the area of the bivvy which is usually a weak point – the minute holes left by stitching – isn’t an issue. The JRC Stealth Bloxx Bivvy is completely waterproof, so if you want a bivvy that guarantees 100% water protection then this is the ideal choice for you. The storm peak on the bivvy, complete with rain gutter, ensures that you don’t experience any rain run off from the front of your bivvy. This means that you never have to worry about entering your bivvy through the open front door, should you have to rush out after a screaming bite alarm in a downpour.

This bivvy is supplied with a heavy duty groundsheet as standard, which helps to keep the damp out from under the bivvy on cold and wet days. It is also supplied with heavy duty bivvy pegs, ensuring that you can secure your bivvy into whatever ground your swim has to offer. The heavy duty nylon carry bag gives you somewhere to store your bivvy, as well as making transportation to and from the bank easy.
