Avid EXO 2 Bivvy official video - YouTube
The Avid Carp EXO 2 Man Bivvy System is the largest model in the EXO shelter range, built for two anglers or one angler wanting maximum space. It is a premium fast-setup system rather than a budget pram-hood bivvy.
Official specification pages list a 270cm width, 260cm depth and 150cm height, with 10.9kg bivvy-only weight and 20.2kg total system weight. The shelter uses 20,000mm hydrostatic-head khaki brown EX material, self-positioning corner blocks and Avid's patented boss design for fast pitching. The storm cap is included, improving coverage and insulation straight out of the bag.
The EXO 2 also includes four camo mosquito vents, flat-back extra-headroom shape, solid infill panel with oversized split door, heavy-duty groundsheet, internal mesh storage pockets, storm poles, heavy-duty pegs and carry bag. It is best for anglers who want a complete two-person session shelter with fast setup. The downside is weight and packed size, so barrow anglers will get the most from it.
For shared campaigns, long French-style sessions or anglers carrying bulky bedchairs, the space and included system parts justify the weight and packed size. It is less suited to quick solo overnighters where a smaller shelter would be easier.
