The Chub Outkast Bivvy is an excellent example of how bivvy and shelter design has evolved in this way in recent years. It has a 3-pole 4-section frame that is very easy to unpack and get standing significantly reducing the time it will take until you’re set up and happily sat fishing. That’s good to know if you arrive at a venue as darkness falls or are planning a stalking session over a large area.

The fabric of the bivvy is fully waterproof up to a rating of 10 000mm which means that a 10m high narrow column of water can be supported in a test environment without leaking. In terms of rain falling on the bivvy in the real world that’s equivalent to over thirty-five times the volume of the UK 24-hr rainfall record. We’re confident you’ll stay dry with that level of water resistance! A peak over the front entrance also features extended side panels to reduce the amount of rain blown into the interior by squally gusts. Sodden ground has no place inside a bivvy and the included lightweight groundsheet also helps to reduce this risk.

The Outkast Bivvy is prepared for the other end of the weather spectrum with a collection of ventilation features which combat high temperatures and beating sunshine. Chub’s Back Draft Ventilation System means that the back panel can be opened up to promote air flow and it prevents you from being eaten alive by mozzies with a reliable mosquito mesh barrier. Mozzy mesh is also found in the side panels. The door has a zip arrangement that lets you set it as you want including in a ‘barn door’ or ‘letterbox’ style to let you see out while letting the minimum of weather in. The choice of door and window covering is yours with waterproof fabric mozzy mesh or transparent window panels included. The whole front can zip off too.

Inside you’ll get two convenient mesh pockets for your tools and a rod strap is located by the door to assist you in rigging your rods. It’s supplied with beefy T-pegs for keeping it stuck to the ground and comes with an oversized bag too – a cause for celebration we think you’ll agree. Not only that a packed-down bivvy can fit into a fishing quiver or holdall for roaming and stalking.
