1. Adventure Medical Kits Sol Escape Bivvy
The SOL Escape Bivvy is an ultra-lightweight, compact bivvy bag that’s breathable, highly waterproof and wind resistance, that is designed to be used as an emergency survival bivvy or as an alternative to a traditional sleeping back in temperatures upward of 9 degrees centigrade.
Made from a proprietary fabric, the SOL Escape bivvy is designed to let moisture escape, whilst at the same time keeping our wind, rain and snow on the outside. This fabric is also highly reflective, preventing your body heat from escaping, helping to keep you warm.
The bag can either be sealed completely, using it’s drawstring hood closure and side zip, although it can also be left open, turning it into more of a traditional sleeping bag. It’s only comes in high-visibility orange, making it easy for rescuers to spot in an emergency situation, even in areas with lots of tree cover.
All in all, the SOL Escape bivvy is a great bit of kit, and the best product in the Adventure Medical Kits bivvy bag range, that is perfect to take with you on all outdoor activities due to it’s low carry weight and small pack size. In our opinion this is the best-in-class emergency bag currently on the market, definitely worth a buy for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
2. Adventure Medical Kits Heatsheets Emergency Bivvy
The Adventure Medical Kits Headsheets Emergency Bivvy is constructed from the very same proprietary, ultra-light heat-reflective polyethylene material as the company’s world-famous emergency blankets, a material that reflects as much as 90% of your body heat back to you. However, unlike an emergency blanket, this bivvy can be sealed shut, providing protection from the wind, rain and snow, in addition to the protection it offers from the cold.
Just like it’s more expensive cousin, the SOL Escape Bivvy, it can be used as a stand-alone bivvy bag in temperatures above 9 degrees centigrade, or as an alternative to a traditional sleeping bag, being used with or without an additional bivvy. It is also only available in bright, high-visibility orange, due to it’s primary use as an emergency bivvy.
In conclusions, the Heatsheets Emergency Bivvy is a great bit of low-cost, essential kit for anyone who loves the great outdoors, making it one of the products we most highly recommend.
