Fox Royale Euro Dome 2 Man Skin
No one starts angling because they want to get so cold they can’t remember what extremities they had, let alone feel them anymore, so hot they’re tempted to join the fish in the water or so wet they’re soggier than a badly-dunked Rich Tea biscuit, but the fact is it comes with the territory. For those times when your session is expected to be cold, hot or wet, there is the fishing bivvy and shelter. For those times when it is especially cold, hot or wet, there is the overwrap.
This is where the Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Skin comes in. Designed only for use with the Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Bivvy, it creates a double-layer of skin that can be crucial if you’re planning a long session in more extreme winter elements with a mate.
Fox International is established as one of the leading manufacturers of fishing tackle in Europe, with thousands of anglers across the world using Fox products every time they go fishing. Growing from humble beginnings in a small workshop in Essex in the 1960s, the county in which its headquarters are still based, Fox is now Europe’s largest privately-owned fishing tackle company, offering over 3,000 unique products designed by anglers, for anglers.
The Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Skin takes the Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Bivvy to the next level. By adding this skin to the Fox bivvy, it upgrades it from being a single-skinned structure that is already capable of protecting you and your gear from heavy rainfall and strong sunshine to a dual-skinned one that will retain heat during winter sessions, keeping you and anyone you’re sharing it with warmer, and keeping you cooler should you venture to warmer climes for a fishing holiday.
Combining this specially-designed skin with the Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Bivvy will also reduce condensation, which occurs when water vapour touches a cold surface, resulting in droplets that then drip onto you, your bivvy-mate and your gear. The double-skin provided by the Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Skin prevents the outer layer and inner dome of the bivvy getting so cold, reducing condensation and protecting you from damp generated inside, as well as outside.
The Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Bivvy is based on the Fox Royale Euro Dome 1-Man Bivvy, but has a larger footprint and thus more internal space, making it ideal for overnight sessions with a friend at home or for angling adventures abroad when you want to take more gear with you and need somewhere to store it. The outer layer is made from a breathable polyester with a hydrostatic head rating of 2,500mm, meaning its able to resist 25% more water pressure than the 1-Man Bivvy.
The Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Bivvy is an excellent example of a classic enclosed bivvy with a host of features, and it is well worth checking out if you are looking for a bankside home you can share with a buddy or take abroad that provides a great balance between comfort, protection and practicality.
If you decide it’s the bivvy for you, and you’re looking to keep fishing no matter what the elements throw at you, then consider investing in the Fox Royale Euro Dome 2-Man Skin to upgrade a truly solid piece of kit to be able to keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer, as well as reduce the discomfort caused by condensation no matter what the conditions outside.
