This essential overwrap is specifically engineered to transform your existing SLX V3 one-man bivvy into a high-performance, triple-skin shelter.

Pro Tips for Your Bivvy Setup

• Condensation Control: Even in the depths of winter, ensure the rear vent is slightly open if you are cooking or using a heater inside. This promotes airflow between the skin and the wrap, which is the secret to staying condensation-free.

• Efficient Pegging: For the best possible fit and to prevent the wrap from flapping in high winds, ensure your base bivvy is pegged out symmetrically before applying the wrap. Once the wrap is on, peg the corners out taut to create the correct tension.

• Portech Usage: Use the front porch area to keep your unhooking mat and damp items under cover but outside of your sleeping area. This helps keep the interior of your bivvy clean and free of mud.

Where to Use

• Autumn & Winter: The primary use for this wrap is in colder conditions, where the added layer provides the essential insulation needed for overnight success.

• Extended Sessions: If you are planning 48-hour+ trips, the wrap adds that vital extra space and protection from the elements, making long sessions significantly more enjoyable.

• Adverse Weather: Whether it’s driving rain or heavy frost, the 10,000mm hydrostatic head material ensures you are protected from whatever the UK climate throws at you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is it difficult to put on alone?

A: Not at all. Because it is designed specifically for the SLX V3 footprint, it fits easily over the top. Once you have the frame set up, simply throw the wrap over, line up the velcro points, and peg it out.

Q: Does it add much weight to my kit?

A: At just under 4.5kg total, it is a very reasonable weight trade-off for the massive increase in comfort and thermal protection it provides, especially during the colder months.

Q: Can I use the clear window with this wrap?

A: Yes, the wrap is fully compatible with the Trakker Clear Window (203200), which allows you to keep an eye on your rods during rain without having to open the front of the shelter.
