Avid Screen House XT Compact

The Avid Screen House XT Compact is a feature-rich, versatile social shelter designed to provide a comfortable and protected base camp for anglers on extended fishing trips. It is a smaller, more manageable version of the full-sized Screen House XT, making it a popular choice for anglers who need a balance of space, portability, and robust construction.

Key Features and Specifications

• Fabric and Weatherproofing: The shelter is made from a high-performance khaki fabric with a 10,000mm hydrostatic head. This high rating ensures excellent protection against even the most torrential rain. The roof is equipped with a special blackout fabric that reduces light penetration, helping to keep the interior cooler during hot, sunny weather. The fabric also features a subtle “distortion camo” pattern.
• Ventilation and Bug Protection: To ensure comfort in warmer conditions and to prevent insects from entering, the shelter has full-size mosquito mesh panels on the sides. Additionally, it features a 3-way rear window with options for solid infill, clear PVC, and mosquito mesh, allowing you to fine-tune the ventilation and visibility.
• Structural Stability: The Screen House XT Compact is designed for quick and easy setup. It features four quick-up, fast-erect frame poles that significantly reduce the time and effort required. For maximum stability in adverse weather, it is equipped with four heavy-duty corner blocks with carabiner attachments and 2-way heavy-duty guy ropes.
• Bivvy Integration: A standout feature of the Avid Screen House range is the side door configuration. This design allows you to position a bivvy directly against the shelter, creating a seamless, integrated living space and an extended porch area.
• Improved Zip-Off Tunnel Porch: The shelter includes an improved zip-off tunnel porch that gives you extra coverage from the elements and a designated staging area for gear, or for changing out of wet boots.
• Included Accessories: The shelter comes as a complete package, including a durable groundsheet, a heavy-duty carry bag for convenient transportation, guy ropes, and pegs.
