Trakker A Lite Bivvy System.

[Comus]

Hi Guys,

 

Just as I've managed to squirrel £120 from the joint account to buy a Dave Lane STi brolly, (thanks for the advice Andrew) I've been sent an e mail from Bennets of Sheffield about this new Trakker item.

 

I'm a real novice when it comes to bivvies, I only need a day session / overnight system that is relatively portable.

 

Is Trakker a good make, do these look any good, they're £20 cheaper than the Dave Lane.

 

Ta,

I'm not up to speed on all the latest models, but my Trakker Big Z brolly/bivvy system thingy is the dog's doo-dahs!

Personally if it's only for days sessions and the occasional overnighter I would go for the A-Lite. I have seen this and it's another armo-type designed bivvy. The price is good and trakker are a hgood make, it some circumstances better than JRC so I would be inclined to look at the A-lite rather than the Dave Lane, somthing which I will be doing!

Thanks for the advice guys.

Bennets describe the A Line as coming out in January so I'll wait for it to come out.

Personally, I would look at another dealer than bennetes, someone like Climax, Billy Clarke...etc will provide better service and products at better prices.

Dave Lane STI Brolly system is brilliant value for money. Check out Bowlers, they're knocking them out @ £99.99. I've just bought one from Angling Direct in Norwich who matched Bowlers price.

Ah but,

The Dave Lane Brolly is just that, a brolly.

The Trakker Alite is a single skin bivvy ,meaning it has a front which you can peg down in extreme conditions or you can roll back out of the way if not needed. Just like a brolly.

I know which one i would rather take of they are about the same weight or , as the name of it implys, is lighter.

Both go up the same way but at the end of the day it is your choice.

And don't buy from Bennets unless you want to pay full whack that is!!!!

Thanks for the advice.

 

Does anyone know if the Trakker will fit in a quiver? I do like the look of the Trakker and the Dave Lane but whatever I choose needs to fit in a Wychwood quiver.

Will fit in the quiver, but not as strong in wind, easy to erect...etc
