Carp Tech Pangolin Bivvy

Pangolin with quick erect system

Pangolin Bivvy from Carp Tech

The quick erect system

There is a water run-off ridge around the front opening to divert rainwater away from the entrance, and the groundsheet is removable. The Pangolin Bivvy comes complete with groundsheet, pegs, guy ropes, and a carry bag which is large enough to accommodate all Pangolin accessories.

	FishingMagic Verdict
	Like most bivvies and shelters that use this type of system there is a knack to erecting it, but once that knack has been grasped it really is easy to erect it and its optional extras of door infill and overwrap. And like all bivvies, whatever system they use, it is rather harder to pack away! No more than any other bivvy I hasten to add, but you can never fold them as neatly or as small as the day they were packed for the first time. You do get used to it though after a few goes. I liked the water run-off ridge around the door for with many bivvies I've used over the years wet entrances can be a pain, especially if, like me, you like to keep some of the smelly cooking stuff like fuel and rubbish bags in the entrance at each side. And the water almost always finds its way into the bivvy if the entrance is wet. Apart from the fact that you don't want water running down your neck each time you have leave or enter the bivvy. A nice touch. In use the bivvy was spacious, warm, waterproof and blended in well with the surroundings. Separate components is always a good idea too, as it means you only need to but the bits you'll actually use and only lug around the bits you want to use at the time, according to conditions and length of session.
