I was surprised by how small and light this bivvy roll was when it arrived (I ordered two), and I immediately opened it up and tried it out. It is roomy enough for a 6' tall 200# man, and you could probably fit two in here in a dire pinch. I pack these with me, essentially as emergency sleeping bags/shelters on all outings, since they're so small and light. You would be VERY glad for this if you were SOL without a traditional blanket or had to remain over night in the woods unexpectedly. This does not replace a tent and sleeping bag for sure, but it will probably keep you from dying of exposure in pretty low temperatures, and you may have this when you forget to pack a safari tent when your car breaks down in the snow.In a wilderness setting, I would insulate under this bag with whatever brush I could find and then around the bag with dried leaves and then wrap up in a second bag, which I also bring along, and that would be VERY effective to keep you warm and dry at night. Ideally, you would want to get under cover of shelter and off the ground. Still, this bag would help cut the wind and at least keep the wind from evaporating all of the moisture from your skin and chilling you further. It might even help if trapped on a ski lift for a week with wolves roaming below, just don't take your glove off and freeze your hand to the safety bar. Even in warm weather, this would be helpful for someone going into shock, if their core temperature began falling.This product is far superior to an emergency blanket, because if you've ever had to use one, you know it's like covering yourself with a 4' square of tissue paper in gale force winds. Drafts get under the blanket and it's not nearly as water resistant since you are exposed where your undoubtedly poor wrap job "seals" around you.These would also work wonders to prevent hypothermia on a hiking in the cold, if someone fell into water. You could get into this bag skin to skin with someone to save their life, or just get frisky. You could use this bag to: carry light important items, like food; collect water; signal to rescuers; cut open to create a heat reflector for a fire (why it's good to bring a sucky emergency blanket along also); create a water still or rain collector; reflect heat AWAY from you when you need shade shelter in open sun; line your pack and place clothing for some water proofing when crossing a stream/river; cover an amputation stump to prevent blood loss or seal a sucking chest wound; create a cheesy Halloween costume as the orange ghost; or make a wind sock in your yard.5 stars for value, good strong material for what it is, design/roominess, superiority to an emergency blanket, re-useability, extra space in stuff sack for quick roll job or extra items, and life saving potential for low cost/space/weight.

I'm a big fan of this little bivvy. It is about 2/3 the size of a soda can and only weighs a few ounes, which means it's not much bigger and doesn't weight much more than a regular emergency blanket. But, it covers your entire body and head and therefore provides a lot more protection than a regular emergency blanket. I personally own two of these. I always keep one in my day pack which I use for everything ranging from short casual hikes to hiking rim-to-rim at the Grand Canyon. I also keep one in my emergency kit in my car. I've since purchased at least a half-dozen of these to give as gifts to my fellow hiker and disaster preparedness friends.I'm also a fan of the (I have bought two of these for our two bug-out-bags for emergencies that might happen while we are home). But, it costs more and takes up about 6 times the space. And, while I would recommend this one for overnight hikes in areas with nice weather, more serious emergencies, or longer-term use, it is not suitable for a day pack given its size and weight, or cost effective if you need more than one or two.But, this little bivvy has a high cost/benefit ratio for those sorts of things. It is a small, light weight, inexpensive, and worthwhile addition to any day pack or emergency kit.

This is one of those things that your emergency kit - whether in your car, for camping, or backpacking - should not be without. It is lightweight but effective and packs down incredibly small, about the size of a 4 fluid ounce bottle. The bivvy sack comes in it's own small bag with a drawstring and there is still room inside to include additional small emergency supplies. It is so light and so inexpensive, there really isn't a good reason not to have one of these as an emergency backup shelter. It is especially good for dayhikes, where you don't want to pack a lot; there is ALWAYS a possibility of a dayhike going wrong when you hike far and are remote (getting lost or injured) and if you absolutely have to spend the night when you didn't expect to, you'll be glad you tossed this little guy in the pack.While the material is reasonably strong, it can still be torn by shoes, keys, and other sharp objects, greatly reducing its effectiveness as a survival shelter. This is something that you have to climb into and there is only room for one, so take that into account if you are seeking to provide emergency shelter provisions for more than one. I personally feel this is superior to other emergency blankets as it is basically a tube rather than a sheet, and the material seems more durable than others I have looked at.

Le Bivvy de la marque SOL est un sac de couchage d'urgence, fin comme une couverture de survie mais en forme de sac pour s'y glisser tout en conservant davantage la chaleur. De plus, il est réutilisable et plus solide.Il existe en version 1 place : https://amzn.to/2LIkU5dou en version 2 places : https://amzn.to/3e3RpXzIl est ultra léger et ultra compact, rien à voir avec un sac de couchage classique. Evidement, c'est un équipement de survie et non de confort ! Vous passerez certainement une mauvaise nuit mais vous passerez la nuit. :) Pour plus de confort il faudra le compléter avec un sac de couchage classique ou léger et enfiler les deux.J'aime sa couleur orange afin de pouvoir être vu en cas d'urgence (et c'est justement sa fonction car en camping on privilégiera un sac de couchage ordinaire plus lourd et volumineux).Le packaging est en anglais et en français (c'est assez appréciable !) et donne quelques conseils d'utilisation.Je l'ai acheté pour me constituer un kit d'abri de secours transportable dans un sac à dos, composé comme ceci :- 12 sardines orange : https://amzn.to/2LLI7Dv ou https://amzn.to/3e3ScrA- Bâche DD Hammocks 3x3m dotée de points de fixation : https://amzn.to/36gejIm (il existe aussi un modèle 40% plus léger mais plus cher : https://amzn.to/2LLjir7 )- 2 bâtons télescopiques DD Hammocks (servant de mâts à la bâche) : https://amzn.to/2LFPH2x- Cordelettes pour fixer la bâche à des arbres : https://amzn.to/3e1fez3 ou https://amzn.to/2WMtoyt- 1 ou 2 sacs de couchage de survie orange de la gamme Bivvy : https://amzn.to/2LIkU5d (version 1 place) ou https://amzn.to/3e3RpXz (version 2 places)GregPour me suivre ou voir mes autres avis --> https://amzn.to/2QMwmij

Buon prodotto, leggero e utile in caso di emergenza: sarà sempre nel mio zaino.Apprezzo moltissimo il servizio che Amazon dà ai suoi clienti, ma finirò col rinunciarci e con me molti altri se non migliorerà il rapporto di Amazon con i suoi dipendenti: qualità globale è anche questo.

This is not S.O.L. original brand, it's a cheap fake. Poor quality and damaged, can see two finger prints with coating damaging.Came not in original packing.

Una evolución de la manta térmica de supervivencia. 108 gramos de peso y unas dimensiones de 7 cm. de alto por 6 de diámetro plegado, y desplegado 90x210 cm.Ideal para un imprevisto, como funda de vivac o como protección de un accidentado.Su color naranja facilita la visibilidad.No esta pensado para un uso continuado sólo es para una emergencia o un uso ocasional.Frente a la tradicional manta térmica tiene la ventaja de ofrecer más protección, al tratarse de un saco no tiene el inconveniente de envolverse como con la manta con lo que se evita las perdidas de calor por los diferentes pliegues.El saco no tiene cremallera sólo una abertura por uno de los extremos.Yo lo utilizo en travesÃas de montaña en entornos nevados, aunque forma parte permanente de mi botiquÃn en cualquier actividad al aire libre.

To say these units are superior to old style space blankets is like saying that light is brighter than dark.I have used space blankets, and equipped my preparedness kits, survival kits, and bush gear with such for over two decades now. I had the SOL products recommended to me and am so glad I was. I don't know where to begin when it comes to the superiority of this product over old style ones.From blankets to bivies they thought this stuff out. I ordered blankets, one person, and two person bivies and have already ordered more. Let me start with the packaging this company uses.The blankets come in a durable, larger than the blanket, resealable ziplock style bag. The bivies are in a drawstring cloth like bag that is around twice the size of the bivy. Now, to me, this shows forethought. It is clear that it might be hard to get a blanket or bivy folded exactly into the manufacturer size after use;anyone who has use one of these sorts of things knows that. Making the bags that hold these things both durable and larger means it will be easy to get them back contained for reuse.The material is softer, more durable, and far less noisy (crinkle crinkle of the old style ones ring bells for anyone?) than the old style. I have tried them out already and love their capabilities in all those areas.I also like that one side is metallic and the other is blaze orange. This gives many more options.Flat out, I love them. I am ordering enough to not only replace all my current space blankets in all survival, first aid, and prep kits.I highly recommend them.
