What Are Bivvies

By Casper Vivianodeni


Almost all anglers know that they need this very essential equipment to be able to make it through their overnight fishing expeditions - a bivvy.

A bivvy is also sometimes called a bivouac sack or bivvy sack is an equipment that weights like a feather that is used to protect and shelter you when you are camping outdoors. It's size is one that is just very suitable to fit over a sleeping bag and still offer protection from unpredictable weather.

It can be made from very lightweight material and can weigh less than a tent's groundsheet. The material is breathable to eliminate condensation, but also waterproof to keep a sleeping bag from becoming damp. Even with all these benefits, the bivvy also has a downside which is the fact that humidity condenses on the inside of the bivvy which can make you or the bag damp. Several innovations however have produced bivvies that address this problem since there are already those that are breathable and waterproof in the sense that it allows for seeping of humidity but still blocking water from coming in. Another improvement is the manufacturing of bivvies that are made of silnylon which adds 10 degrees Fahrenheit of warmth to you.

The bivvies can be used for just about any camping purpose but it is gaining more popularity in its usefulness in fishing. That is why there are so many fishing bivvy manufacturers that sell fishing bivvies today. To help you decide what fishing bivvy to buy, here are some helpful tips.

First consideration is the style of fishing that you are accustomed to. Several anglers are fond of carrying next to nothing when having fishing trips while some also like carrying just about anything and everything they can bring. Another consideration is the amount of time you'll spend in your fishing trip. If you are one that loves going on fishing trips for days then you would really need a bivvy that can stand all kinds of weather. Lastly, you'd have to consider the size of the bivvy that's fit for you. That bivvy shouldn't be one that's too oversized or undersized that you cannot put them up at any bank.

If you take all these things into account, you can really be sure to find the perfect bivvy for your fishing trips.
