Winter skins, overwraps and front extensions turn a summer bivvy into a warmer, drier base for long sessions, and each one here is priced live at reputable online tackle shops.

About Bivvy Overwraps & Extensions

Most are cut for one bivvy model, so check that the name on the listing matches the shelter you own.

An overwrap is a second skin that pegs out over the main bivvy, leaving an air gap between the two layers.

That gap cuts condensation and keeps more warmth in, while an extension adds covered room at the front for kit.

How to Choose a Bivvy Overwrap

Fit comes first, because an overwrap or extension is made for the frame and pegging points of one bivvy. A wrap made for a different model will sag, flap or leave gaps in wind and rain.

Weight and pack size matter on venues with a long walk. A wrap adds to the load, so some anglers only take it from autumn to spring.

A full overwrap covers the whole bivvy and usually has its own door panels, so the front can be opened up or closed down. The extra layer helps most on cold, damp nights when the inside of a single skin would run with condensation.

An extension clips or zips to the front of the bivvy to give a covered area for bags, rods and boots. It keeps wet kit out of the sleeping space without needing a bigger bivvy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will any overwrap fit my bivvy?

Most overwraps are made for one bivvy model and will not fit others properly. Check that the model name on the listing matches your bivvy before buying.

Does an overwrap stop condensation?

It cuts condensation a great deal by trapping a layer of air between the two skins. Some moisture can still form on very cold, still nights, so venting the doors helps.

Do I need an overwrap in summer?

Most anglers leave the wrap at home in warm weather to save weight. It earns its place from autumn through to spring, when nights are cold and damp.

What is the difference between an overwrap and an extension?

An overwrap covers the whole bivvy as a second skin. An extension only adds covered space at the front.
