Wholesale fishing umbrellas, bivvies and ice tents

Buying guide

A shelter decides whether an angler stays on the bank through a wet night, and it is the item customers complain about first when a seam leaks. Own-brand bivvies are usually offered only by large tackle brands; we make them available from a factory minimum. We work with partner factories on factory-direct supply, but we are an importer rather than a carp bivvy manufacturer: what you get from us is the sourcing, the inspection and the EU paperwork around the product.

What is in the range

Single-person fishing umbrellas with side walls on steel or aluminium frames; 2.5 m carp brollies in PA-coated 190T fabric with an aluminium pole; carp shelter tents of 365 × 210 × 127 cm in camo or olive green; insulated ice-fishing tents from 150 × 150 cm for two to three people to 250 × 250 cm cubes for four, most with fibreglass auto pop-up frames; a hexagonal hot tent for five to six people; a UPF50+ sun shelter and a pop-up changing tent.

What we ask for

Waterproof rating of the fly and of the floor as separate figures, how it was measured, seam taping, fabric denier and coating, pole material and diameter, and the packed size and weight. Ratings shown in the catalogue are the supplier’s, for example 1,000–1,500 mm on umbrellas and 2,000–3,000 mm on the brolly. Water-repellent coatings fall under the EU PFAS (PFHxA) restriction, and we request PFAS-free coatings where needed. GPSR labelling applies to every consumer model.

Ice tents and season timing

Ice-fishing shelters sell from December to February, so orders must be placed by September to arrive in time. Insulated tents are bulky for their price, which makes carton volume the main cost driver. A hot tent used with a stove needs the stove jack and any warnings agreed with the supplier and printed in the language of the country of sale.
