We now have a Wychwood account and have had the first batch of products in, they all look good quality and value for money. So what have we got? well first up we have the  Wychwood Flexi Rib Shelter  which has a registered design on its unique erection method. So what is it? The Flexi Rib Shelter is a lightweight pramhood style bivvy. It is easy to erect due to its two break pole system and its’ revolutionary erection system. The erection system is simple but brilliant, the poles are fixed at one end and then you flex the poles and pop them into the receiving rings at the opposite end. The Flexi Rib has some nice attention to detail as well, the chromed steel joints when the shelter is erected are hidden behind the pole retention sleeves, so no shiny metal to give you away.

We also have the Wychwood Equinox 12K Big Pit Reel and Wychwood Riot 65 Big Pit Reel in as well. The Equinox 12K Big Pit Reel looks good and has a massive 13 ball bearings making it incredibly smooth and fantastic value. Check the rest of the specs for yourself I’m sure you’ll be impressed. The Riot 65 Big Pit Reel hasn’t got quite as many bearings as the Equinox but 5+1roller bearing is still impressive for a reel at this price point. The Riot has huge cranking power and is a pretty good looker also, have a look.

In The bite alarm department the Wychwood Extremis VTS Bite Alarm and Extremis V Bite Alarm are now in stock.

I’ve got masses more coming in from Wychwood and will keep you updated.
