Solar Worldwide Spider 1.5 FS

The Goldilocks of Bivvies Not Too Big, Not Too Small, Just Right.

If you find a standard 1-man bivvy a bit claustrophobic but a 2-man dome too bulky for tight swims, the Solar Worldwide Spider 1.5 FS is the shelter you have been waiting for. This is the ultimate One-Man-Plus fortress.

The FS stands for Full System, and Solar hasnt held back. Unlike other brands where you have to buy the extras separately, this bivvy comes supplied with the 10,000mm HH Camo Skull Cap, giving you a twin-skin setup straight out of the bag for maximum heat retention and condensation banishment.

Built around the ultra-durable Metal Bivvy Block and the clever TRS (Tension Reduction System), it sets up rapid and packs down even fasterno more fighting with tension poles when your hands are cold. The smart Flat-Back design allows you to push your bedchair right to the rear, opening up a huge amount of floor space at the front for your bag, table, and cooking gear. It is spacious, tough, and looks the absolute business in the World-Wide Camo pattern.

Gerrys Pro Tip

When setting up, always zip the groundsheet in before you peg out the front ribs fully. This ensures the bivvy sits perfectly square and pulls the material taut without over-straining the zips. Also, leave the rear PermaVent open slightly even in winterit works with the Vapour Shield to push moisture out, keeping your sleeping bag dry.
