The Bivvy Whisperers
Your Guide to Shelter & Sanity
Welcome to Which Bivvy, where we take the mystery (and misery) out of choosing the perfect bivvy!
Whether you’re braving the great British drizzle, seeking solitude in the wilderness, or just escaping the in-laws for a peaceful night under the stars, we’ve got your back.
Our Mission
To help you find a bivvy that keeps you dry, comfortable, and only slightly questioning your life choices when the wind howls across the lake at 3 am.
With expert reviews, real-world testing, and a splash of humour, we make sure you’re well-equipped before you hunker down in your lakeside hideaway because let’s face it, the fish might not bite, but the weather definitely will
1 Man Bivvies
Looking for a bivvy that’s just big enough for you, your gear, and possibly your questionable life choices?
Welcome to our 1-man bivvy reviews, where we break down the good, the bad, and the downright claustrophobic.
We’ve tested, poked, and sometimes battled the elements to bring you real insights on comfort, durability, and how well these bivvies hold up when Mother Nature decides to throw a tantrum.
2 mAN bIVVIES
So, you’ve decided that solitude is overrated and sharing a bivvy is the way to go? Brave.
Whether you’re bringing along a fishing buddy, your significant other, or just need extra space for your ever-growing collection of gear (we don’t judge), our 2-man bivvy reviews will help you find the perfect shelter for two.
Day Shelters
Let’s face it—British weather has a habit of turning a promising fishing session into an unplanned endurance test.
That’s where day shelters and fishing umbrellas come in: your first line of defense against a sudden downpour, surprise gusts, and that one waterfowl that always seems a little too interested in your bait.
Whether you need quick protection for a short session or a sturdy shield for an all-dayer, we’ve got the details that matter!
Tackle Reviews
We all know the drill – you spot a shiny new piece of gear, convince yourself it’s the one, and then promptly watch it underperform like a dodgy football transfer.
That’s where we come in.
Our fishing tackle reviews cut through the marketing fluff and get straight to what matters: durability, practicality, and whether it actually helps you catch more fish or just drains your wallet.

Bedchair Reviews
A good bedchair can mean the difference between waking up refreshed and waking up feeling like you’ve spent the night twisted up like a badly tied rig!
Since your bivvy is basically your home away from home, the bedchair inside it needs to be comfortable – because let’s face it, if your back goes, so does your session.
We’ve tested, stretched out, and even attempted a few mid-session naps (all in the name of science, of course) to bring you real insights on comfort, durability, and whether these bedchairs actually keep you from feeling like a human pretzel by morning.
Sleeping Bag Reviews
A proper sleeping bag is the unsung hero of any bivvy setup—because no one wants to spend the night shivering like a neglected rod pod or sweating like they’ve accidentally bivvied up in the tropics.
We’ve zipped in, stretched out, and tested these bags in the real conditions carp anglers face: damp mornings, chilly nights, and the occasional regretful snack session mid-slumber.
From insulation and comfort to packability and those all-important zips (because nobody has time to wrestle their way out when the alarms scream), we’ve got you covered!
Fishing Boots
Fishing boots aren’t just about keeping your feet dry – they’re about avoiding that dreaded ‘soggy sock syndrome’ while trudging through mud, wading the margins, or braving the banks in miserable weather.
The right pair can mean the difference between staying warm and comfortable or spending the session regretting every step.
We’ve tested, stomped around, and even intentionally stepped in a few questionable puddles to bring you real insights on durability, waterproofing, grip, and whether these boots hold up when the banks get slippery.
Headtorches
A solid headtorch isn’t just a luxury for night fishing – it’s a necessity unless you enjoy fumbling for tackle, misjudging the bank edge, or unintentionally reenacting a horror movie scene in the dark.
Whether you’re rigging up at midnight, navigating your way back to your bivvy, or trying not to blind yourself (or your fishing buddy) with a badly aimed beam, the right headtorch makes all the difference.
So before you find yourself lit up like a landing strip or struggling in total darkness, let’s find the perfect headtorch for your next session
