Check out the on-line shops as well as your local ones
Don't discount a 2 man tent some of these can be got in green and cost a damn sight less then £40 and come with sleeping bags

And look at beach shelters for sea fishing some of these are far more robust and also cheaper than Carp stuff

Why go to the expense of handing out £100 on a bivvy when you can spend £45 on a 4 man tent that can easily fit 2 bedchairs, tackle, bait, rods etc and still have room to store more stuff in the porch?

All this hype about bivvys is a load of nothing. You are just putting wasted money into somebody else's hands that could be spent on bait or tackle.

Had a few bivvies over the years, but the Trakker Armadillo has to be my number one, its so quick to erect, very strong and will last me years and had it three years already and its still like new 100% waterproof without treating and the ground sheet is top material that locks into the main bivvie....loads of room in the one man, plus in a wind storm the shape makes it stay put and don't move an inch.........10/10 for design and looks the pups....
