Like a lot of anglers out there looking for a quality product for an affordable price is not easy, I had heard of Koala Products a while back and decided to look deeper into them I found the Swim Hopper Pro 1 man met my budget and requirements, it arrived quickly and was well packaged. I set it up in my garden and after about 10 mins had it all set up, it was very easy and simple, I thought the ground sheet was a little bit over sized until I re adjusted the ground tension strap then it fit in to place perfectly. I found it quite roomy for a 1 man and could fit my bed and other personal kit in side with ease, I found the front pram hood extends far enough to give plenty of protection, when the front panel is removed and makes a perfect day shelter, this is easily reattached with the zip. Second time setting up was much quicker after being familiar, next on the list is the purchase of the winter skin for the colder months overall I am very impressed with the construction of the bivvy and haven't a bad word to say about it, its definitely a great value for money piece of kit thank you Koala for meeting the needs of the budget angler !!!!!
I purchased the bivvy initially as an alternative to using a brolly for day sessions as for the money I was not sure how sturdy it would be for longer /week sessions.When it arrived however I was massively surprised the bivvy is huge plenty big enough for 2 (1 on a bed 1 on a chair) it goes up quickly between 5-10 mins and is perfectly stable even in the windiest of conditions thanks to the brace bars that go in between the ribs of the bivvy and the hood is a fantastic feature.I did read a number of reviews mentioning the fact that it does not have a sewn in groundsheet which it doesn't but if you don't have 2 mins to velcro in a groundsheet carp fishing probably isn't for you anyway!In the depth of winter would possibly suggest the twin skin version for extra warmth but to be perfectly honest I cannot recommend this product highly enough
Having decided to purchase a new pram hood style bivvy I chose the Adobe Swim Hopper because of its good looks and excellent value for money.
Having now used it a couple of times I have found it easy to erect and 100% water proof and there is loads of room inside..I would have rated 5 stars but gave 4 stars due to no sewn in ground sheet.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this bivvy.
