Replacement poles for a dutch army hooped bivvy XL pref

[hogstable]

Hi,

I have a Dutch hooped bivvy bag but without the poles. I've tried normal replacement poles but no joy as they just crack.

Does anyone know where I could get replacement poles that can do the job, preferably aluminium? My mate has got the normal hooped bivvy so he can use them if too small.

Thanks

H

Have a look at terra nove hooped bivvi's, if they are the same hoop size, then you can buy replacement hoops from them.

Contact Carinthia, since the Dutch bivy is a DPM version of the Explorer 2.They sell aluminium poles for their bivy bags. AFAIK it retails at ca 15 Euros.

I suppose the pole of the "Micro Tent" has the same dimensions as with the "Explorer 2"

For the double hooped "Observer" you can buy it from here

Hi there: I notice that various people seem to be looking to purchase Poles for their Dutch army bivi bags. I had the same problem myself about 12 months ago so decided to make some myself. I had to buy some decent material & make all the fittings myself too & they now work perfectly.

Due to the fact I'd plenty of material left i made some extra sets to sell & sold the majority back to the guy on ebay that I'd bought the bag off!
But still got a few sets left if anyone's interested

£20.00 a set
