The benefits of a JRC bivvy
JRC bivvys are an extremely handy item to take along with you when you are going angling. Shops readily supply JRC bivvys, and they are recognised as one of the UK angling scene's best and most popular brands. JRC bivvys are particularly useful for anglers who are looking to stay on the river bank or lake side overnight, providing shelter, warmth and security.

Keeps your clean, dry and secure
Clean
JRC bivvys come with a thick, durable flooring that you lay down flat and affix to the river bank, lake side or ground prior to setting up the rest of your bivvy.
This helps to keep the mud and moisture away from the bivvy floor. Moreover, provided that you manage and clean your footwear properly as well as clean and properly dry your bivvy each morning, you can be sure of a grub, grit and odour free stay inside your JRC bivvy.
Dry and secure
When properly set up, following the bivvy's handbook or guidelines, you have an effective shelter that will keep you dry and secure in all, but the fiercest of weather. JRC bivvys are highly waterproof and designed so that rain and river water "beads up" on its surface, so you can shake it clear of your bivvy's exterior. Your JRC bivvy also provides you with a basic level of security, as you can fasten and close its entrance which makes any unwanted visitors very conspicuous if they attempt to enter your bivvy.
