Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Two anglers sharing a swim. There’s enough floor area for two beds and the usual session kit without everything being piled in the doorway.
- Solo carp anglers who like space. Use one side for the bed and keep the other side free for tackle, clothing, cooking kit and a proper bit of wriggle room.
Maybe skip if
- Roaming anglers fishing tiny swims. The footprint is substantial, so it can be awkward where banks are tight or platforms are compact.
- Anglers chasing the lightest possible shelter. At 9.5kg, it’s not a dainty overnighter shelter for long walks between swims.
The lowdown
Introducing the Prologic C-Series 2 Man Fishing Bivvy
A roomy two-man shelter with a sensible spec, manageable pack size and enough weather protection for proper sessions on the bank.
- Two-man bivvy measuring 305cm x 300cm x 155cm.
- 190D fabric with an 8,000mm waterproof rating.
- Lightweight two-rib frame with included tension-pole set.
- Removable groundsheet, rear mosquito-mesh vent and two Velcro rod restraints.
Quick verdict
A proper roomy bivvy without silly faff
The Prologic C-Series 2 Man Fishing Bivvy looks like a cracking option for anglers who want genuine space for two, or loads of room for one angler and a mountain of kit. Its two-rib frame keeps the design fairly straightforward, while the 190D fabric and 8,000mm waterproof rating give it the sort of weather protection you’d expect for regular UK carp sessions.
It’s not the lightest shelter around, and a 2.1m-plus footprint needs a decent swim. But with a removable groundsheet, rear mesh ventilation, a roll-up peak and included tension poles, pegs and carry bag, it’s a pretty bob-on package for the money bracket.

The fabric, frame layout and included accessories make this a well-equipped shelter for regular coarse and carp sessions.
The 8,000mm waterproof rating, rear mesh vent, peak and letterbox door cover the main jobs on the bank.
A comfortable, organised shelter helps you stay focused through longer sessions, although it won’t directly improve your rigs or tactics.
The two-rib design, tension poles and included peg set keep setup reasonably straightforward, with no need to buy the basics separately.
You get generous two-man space, a removable groundsheet and a useful bundle of included kit without the design becoming needlessly complicated.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Prologic C-Series 2 Man Fishing Bivvy
The Prologic C-Series 2 Man Fishing Bivvy is aimed squarely at anglers who want proper room on the bank without dragging a full-on palace around the lake. It’s a two-man shelter, but there’s nothing stopping you using it solo and enjoying the luxury of not having your bed, bags and bait crammed together like a rucksack after a rainy night.
First things first, this is a generously proportioned bivvy. The footprint measures 305cm by 300cm, with a height of 155cm. That gives two anglers a decent amount of floor space for beds and kit, while a solo angler gets room to spread out, sort rigs and keep wet gear away from the sleeping bag. Always check the swim before you commit, though. This isn’t a tiny shelter you can squeeze into every little corner.
The frame uses a lightweight two-rib design. That keeps the layout fairly uncomplicated, which is handy when you’re setting up in fading light or trying to get shelter up before the heavens open. It’s the sort of arrangement that should feel familiar to anyone used to a traditional carp bivvy: position the ribs, get the fabric sitting properly, tension everything and peg it down securely.
Weather protection comes from the 190D fabric and its 8,000mm waterproof rating. That’s a useful level of protection for the usual British mix of drizzle, heavy showers and proper downpours. As ever, the pitch matters. Get the bivvy tensioned, keep the doorway managed and make sure water has somewhere sensible to run, rather than pooling against the fabric.
The front door uses a two-way letterbox-style design. That gives you options when the weather is a bit moody: keep things more closed up during a sideways shower, or open the upper section for a look out towards the rods. It’s also useful when you want a bit of airflow without fully opening the front and inviting half the lake into your living quarters.
Ventilation comes from the large rear mosquito-mesh vent/window. That should help shift stale air and condensation, especially when two anglers are sleeping inside. The mesh also gives you a way to keep some air moving while keeping the creepy-crawlies on the outside. On a warm summer night, that’s a small feature that can make a proper difference.
Up front, the roll-up peak adds a bit of extra cover around the doorway. It helps keep rain off the entrance and gives you a more sheltered spot for getting in and out. There are also two Velcro rod restraints, which are dead handy when you need to keep rods secure while you’re sorting the bivvy, dealing with bait or getting a fish safely under control.
The removable lightweight groundsheet adds flexibility. Use it when you want a cleaner, more comfortable base, or take it out where swim rules or conditions make a bare floor more practical. Just remember that a removable groundsheet isn’t an excuse to be careless with wet kit or muddy boots — a bit of bank discipline still goes a long way.
At 9.5kg, the C-Series 2 Man isn’t featherweight, but that’s a fair trade for the amount of shelter you’re getting. The 115cm x 30cm transport size is reasonably manageable for a two-man bivvy, and the package includes the tension-pole set, peg set, peg pouch and carry bag. So, for a two-night session, a longer campaign or a solo angler who likes a bit of elbow room, this looks like a sensible and properly usable shelter rather than a flashy faff-fest.

Our take
Why this bivvy makes sense on the bank
The C-Series 2 Man is all about usable space rather than flashy extras. At 305cm by 300cm, there’s room to get two beds in without playing bivvy Tetris every time you need to reach a rucksack. Fishing solo? You can spread out properly, keep tackle organised and still have a bit of living space when the weather turns naff.
The 155cm height won’t turn it into a standing-room palace, but it’s practical for sitting up, sorting rigs and getting yourself ready for a screaming take. The two-rib layout should also appeal if you prefer a shelter that doesn’t involve a full-on construction project before bite-time.
Closer look
A roomy two-rib shelter with the useful bits covered
The headline here is space. At 305cm x 300cm, the C-Series 2 Man gives two anglers a sensible amount of room for beds and tackle, while solo users can create a much more comfortable camp. The 155cm height is practical for sitting up and sorting gear, rather than pretending you’re in a garden gazebo.
The 190D fabric and 8,000mm waterproof rating are suited to regular UK weather. Add the roll-up peak, two-way letterbox door and large rear mosquito-mesh vent, and the design covers the everyday jobs: keeping rain out, letting air circulate and making the entrance a bit more civilised.
Worth knowing. The 305cm x 300cm footprint is generous, so measure the swim before unpacking. Two Velcro rod restraints are included, but they’re a handy security feature rather than a substitute for keeping rods properly supported and the area tidy.
Who it suits
Best for comfortable sessions, not tiny swims
This is a strong fit for two anglers sharing a swim, especially when the session involves beds, clothing bags, bait and the usual pile of carp tackle. It also makes sense for the solo angler who hates feeling boxed in and wants space to keep the living area organised.
The 9.5kg weight means it’s better suited to planned sessions than constant swim-hopping. If you’re carrying everything a long way across rough banks, you’ll notice it. For an established swim, a barrow job or a longer stay, the manageable transport size and included carry bag make more sense.
Worth knowing. Pitch it with the door positioned away from the prevailing wind where possible, tension the fabric evenly and use the rear vent when conditions allow. That’ll help with airflow and reduce the clammy feel that can build up overnight.
FAQs in full
The questions you’ll want answered before buying
Is it genuinely a two-man bivvy? Yes. The capacity is two anglers, and the footprint is large enough to accommodate two beds and session kit. Exact comfort will depend on the bedchairs and how much luggage you both bring, so don’t fill every spare corner with tackle you won’t use.
Can one person use it comfortably? Absolutely. A solo angler gets loads more room for kit and can keep the entrance clear. That’s especially useful on longer sessions, when wet clothing, cooking gear and spare layers tend to take over a smaller shelter.
What comes in the package? You get the bivvy, removable lightweight groundsheet, tension-pole set, peg set and peg pouch, plus the carry bag. The two Velcro rod restraints and rear mesh vent are built into the shelter rather than separate accessories.

Worth knowing
