CHUB were particularly excited when they launched this feature packed bivvy because its breathability cracked a lot of the condensation problems single skin bivvy users suffer from.
Chub’s top spec Vantage system uses a high performance fabric called Climatex, which also comes with an impressive 10,000 mm Hydrostatic Head waterproof rating.
The bivvy is a split pole design, which provides a squarer footprint, so there’s more usable space inside.

The dual zip system on the front panel is particularly useful for unzipping just enough from the top to provide a full panoramic view of the water
And there are loads of door and front panel options, beneath that enlarged storm peak.
A fully protective all year round bivvy with the option of a Vantage Overwrap, and one and two man shelters.
