SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Tips and advice
- All telescopic poles can be left extended, this makes for a faster setup as length is pre-set to your preferred height and tension.
- Side organisers can be left threaded onto the side poles, just roll up together and pack away.
- Height of the brolly can be adjusted by using the multiple height pegging points and also widening and narrowing the front pole.
- All Pole cam locks can be tightened by rotating the cam-lever clockwise.
- Do not over-tighten any of the cam locks or thumbscrews. Minimal force is required to stop pole inserts from slipping
Internal Vapour Skin Installation
1)
Remove the vapour skin from its carry bag and locate the central zip, this is orientated towards the centre back of the brolly
and allows access to the rear vent. Ensure the two centre storage pockets are facing inwards to allow access.
2)
Locate the elastic toggles into the small plastic rings. Start from the base at the rear of the brolly working forwards.
Plastic clips also attach to the brolly ribs.
3)
Central clips closest to the brolly mechanism should be attached to the lower brolly ribs. This allows the vapour skin to be
kept in place when packing away the brolly. Ensure it is dry when packed away to prevent mould growth.
Tips & Advice
- The Vapour skin can be unzipped and rolled back to gain access to the rear vent
- Use the vapour skin in extreme cold and hot conditions to help keep internal temperature more comfortable
- Use the vapour skin in conjunction with the vent spacer bars (both front and back) to help control excess condensation
Care & Maintenance
Storage
If your brolly is packed away wet, damp or dirty, it must be completely dried out at the earliest opportunity. Prolonged exposure to
moisture can cause the PU coating to breakdown, delaminate and seam tape to lift. Storing a wet bivvy for as little as 24hrs in warm
weather can also start the process of mildew forming on the fabric. Mildew will cause your bivvy to stain, smell and will lead to the
premature breakdown of the waterproof coating. Mildew and moisture damage are not covered under the warranty.
If mildew occurs (identified by black marks and a mouldy smell), then sponge the affected area with mild soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly. (DO NOT USE DETERGENTS) If not caught early enough, permanent damage to tent fabric and proofing will occur.
