Available in both one-man and two-man sizes (for the angler who likes to fish alone, fish with a lot of gear, and fish with friends) the Prologic Firestarter LWG Bivvy is a great bivvy no matter your needs.
The Firestarter is incredibly easy to set up, which means that it is just as useful on a quick overnight session as it is for longer sessions also very easy to erect for a day session if expecting rainfall. Not only is it suitable for any length of time, but this bivvy is also suitable for any weather conditions. Constructed from 100% waterproof fabric,as i use this bivvy myself i know that it's capable of even the most extreme weather conditionswith very high wind and rain. Extra strong petting points, with heavy duty pegs, and its two rib metallic frame ensures that this bivvy won’t be going anywhere were the wind to pick up on one of your carp fishing overnighters. In fact, the Prologic Firestarter even comes supplied with its own overwrap, so should you require an extra level of protection in the cold winter months and i must say adds a lot of warmth inside and condensation free all night and for longer sessions ,so you don’t have to go out and buy an additional wrap as its comes within the fantastic price of the bivvy.
Its understood when pro logic designed this bivvy they aim was to make a bivvy that had all the features that budding anglers would require for a top quality bivvy . However, throughout the process Prologic were determined to keep it good quality and a good price in mind for the more anglers who enjoy fishing on a lower budget .
This is because the company was tired of seeing decent bivvies on sale for extortionate prices and so wanted to create a bivvy that could exceed the angler’s expectations at every level. Prologic’s solution to this was the Firestarter: a fantastic value for money all weather shelter solution, perfect for the dedicated angler. as a user myself ,this bivvy will ensure you have a peaceful nights sleep every time.
The firestarter is also a nice height for the taller anglers so there no bending in half to get out just a slight bend of the neck which is great if your my height at 6'2 so a lot less back strain when up and down specially for the busy angler who likes to keep their swims active with baiting up etc.
The only issue i found with this bivvy was not a major issue for myself was the wrap has the open door section (no zipped door) which could be a problem for some anglers who prefer full wrap with zip doors mesh and clear window feature but for me its ideal as i find its still as warm as a bivvy with these features.
And also a bad point for me which i find rather annoying it has no rod straps on the wrap which is more than ideal in hazardous conditions keeping rods secure whist you set up inside the bivvy.
So as an overall the bivvy is an excellent addition to a carp fishing kit which i agree and i will continue to use myself for the foreseeable future.
With a reasonable size once packed down easy to transport and not to heavy if going light .
So i would highly recommend this bivvy to suit many anglers alike as i would give it a 5* Rating.
