Prologic Inspire Slr – Full System 1Man

Prologic Inspire SLR – Full System (1 Man)

The Revolution of Speed: Spring-Loaded Reflex Technology.

Four years in the making, the Prologic Inspire SLR (Spring Loaded Reflex) is the definitive answer to the “quick-erect” bivvy challenge. At Gerry’s, we’ve seen every frame design on the market, but the SLR’s unique aluminium profiled frame changes the game. It combines lightning-fast setup times with a radical “peak” design that solves the age-old problem of rainwater pooling at the entrance.

Built from the flagship Pro-Tex fabric, this system offers a massive 20,000mm hydrostatic head while remaining fully breathable. This “Full System” doesn’t just give you a shelter; it provides a complete environment, including a condenser wrap and a heavy-duty zipped-in groundsheet, ensuring you are protected from rain, condensation, and ground moisture.

Why the Inspire SLR is a Market Leader:

• SLR (Spring Loaded Reflex) Frame: Provides near-instant deployment. The spring-loaded mechanism snaps into position, offering superior tension and structural rigidity with minimal effort.

• Pro-Tex 20,000mm Fabric: A high-performance, lightweight, and breathable material that ensures you stay dry in the most extreme conditions without the “sweat” associated with cheaper fabrics.

• Pro-Vent 360-Degree Ventilation: Features four extra-large rear and side mosquito windows. This ensures maximum airflow and panoramic views—vital for fish spotting and staying cool during summer heatwaves.

• Condenser Wrap Included: This bespoke wrap shields the top of the bivvy, allowing hot air to cool slowly and naturally, virtually eliminating condensation while providing a layer of thermal insulation for winter.

• Pro-Tect Zipped Groundsheet: A heavy-duty groundsheet that zips into place 10cm above ground level. This creates a “tub” effect that prevents surface water and insects from entering your living space.

Key Features for the Serious Angler

1. Optimized Internal Headroom:

Unlike many quick-erect shelters that feel “cramped” at the back, the SLR’s profiled aluminium ribs are designed to maximize vertical space. You can sit comfortably on a high-spec bedchair without your head touching the ceiling.

2. Intelligent Rain Management:

The radical front peak isn’t just for looks; it is shaped to channel water away to the sides of the bivvy. This ensures the doorway remains a “dry zone” even when you are entering and exiting during a storm.

3. Total Adaptability:

The front infill panel can be completely removed for a wide-open “day shelter” feel, or swapped for the included mosquito mesh front. When combined with the four rear/side vents, it offers the best ventilation of any bivvy in its class.

4. All-Weather Protection:

The combination of the Pro-Tex fabric and the included Condenser Wrap means this bivvy is a true 4-season home. The wrap allows you to keep the vents partially open even during rain, allowing the bivvy to “breathe” without letting water in.

Gerry’s Verdict: The Inspire SLR is Prologic’s masterpiece. The 20,000mm Pro-Tex fabric feels incredibly premium, and the speed of the SLR frame is staggering. If you want the ultimate quick-erect bivvy that doesn’t compromise on space or breathability, the SLR Full System is the one
