Condensation is one of the least glamorous parts of overnight carp fishing.
The Fox Frontier XD Vapour Peak is designed as an additional cover around the upper section of the shelter, giving extra protection above the bivvy and helping create another layer between you and the weather.
This type of accessory can make a noticeable difference during colder conditions.
You’re effectively putting another barrier between the warm, damp air inside your bivvy and the cold outer surface.
A peak can also provide useful additional protection around the front of the bivvy when rain is blowing towards the door.
Whether it’s worth buying depends on how you fish.
If you’re mostly doing summer overnighters, you might use it very little.
If you’re out throughout autumn and winter and constantly battling condensation, accessories like this start making considerably more sense.
The downside is obvious: it’s another piece of kit to buy, pack and carry.
Before ordering one, make absolutely sure you’re buying the version designed for your exact Frontier model. Fox has produced several Frontier sizes and accessories aren’t necessarily interchangeable.
Anyone using the Vapour Peak on a Frontier XD? Did it noticeably improve condensation?
