Solar Worldwide Spider 2.0 FS

Solar Worldwide Spider 2.0 FS

The “Mansion” of the Bankside – Complete with Skull Cap!

If you are looking for a shelter that offers maximum space, rapid setup, and total climate control, look no further. The Solar Worldwide Spider 2.0 FS is a beast of a bivvy, designed for the angler who refuses to compromise on comfort during long sessions or continental adventures.

First things first: the size. At 4 meters wide, this shelter is huge. The clever Flat-Back Design means you can push your bedchair right to the rear wall, opening up acres of floor space for your bags, table, cooking gear, and even a guest chair. Despite its size, setup is a breeze thanks to the TRS (Tension Reduction System). This smart feature takes the tension out of the poles when packing away or setting up, meaning no more wrestling matches with your bivvy at the end of a tiring session.

But what seals the deal is the value. This isn’t just the bivvy; it comes supplied with a Heavy Duty Zip-In Groundsheet AND the matching World-Wide Camo Skull Cap. You get the complete full-system package right out of the box, giving you double-skin protection against condensation and heat without spending an extra penny.

Key Features & Specifications

• Massive Footprint: Approx dimensions of 400cm (W) x 250cm (D) x 185cm (H). That’s enough height to stand up in and enough width for two bedchairs if needed.

• Complete Bundle: Includes the 10,000mm HH Camo Skull Cap free of charge, instantly converting it into a twin-skin shelter for winter warmth and summer cool.

• TRS System: The Tension Reduction System makes separating the poles easy, preventing that “snap-back” and making pack-down smooth and frustration-free.

• PermaVent Airflow: Solar’s unique Rear PermaVent system allows you to keep air circulating even when it’s raining, reducing condensation without letting water in.

• Internal Vapour Shield: A built-in roof liner further eliminates condensation drips—essential for cold mornings.

• Versatile Front: The Removable Infill Panel allows you to run it open-fronted for summer or fully sealed for winter.

• Built to Last: Features a Robust Metal Bivvy Block and 10,000mm HH World-Wide Camo material that looks the part and handles the worst weather.

• Storage: 4 Internal Mesh Pockets keep your receiver, phone, and keys off the floor and handy.

• Heavy Duty Extras: Supplied with a heavy-duty Zip-In Groundsheet, pegs, and an oversized Camo Carry Bag.

Ideal Scenarios for Use

• The Week-Long Session: With this much space, you won’t get “cabin fever.” You can organize your cooking station, bait, and clothes comfortably inside.

• Fishing with a Partner: At 4m wide, you can easily fit two standard bedchairs in a “V” shape or parallel, making it a great social shelter.

• Tall Anglers: The 1.85m height means no more stooping. You can get changed standing up, which is a luxury on the bank!

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“Make sure you install the included Skull Cap before you fully tension the bivvy pegs. It’s much easier to hook it on when the frame has a little ‘give’. Once it’s on, the Skull Cap creates a pocket of air between the layers that keeps the bivvy significantly cooler in the summer sun—don’t leave home without it, even in hot weathe
