Unlike most waterproof/windproof emergency shelters, the Adventure Medical Kits SOL Escape Lite Bivvy has a breathable fabric that combats condensation while reflecting back 70% of your body heat to help keep you warm. A wonderful option for ounce-counters looking for a back-up shelter for an emergency, the SOL Escape Lite Bivvy weighs just 5.5 ounces and packs down small to stow easily in a backpack or survival kit.
Most ultra-lightweight emergency shelters are made from fabrics that allow condensation to build up inside as you get warm, leaving your clothes and skin damp and clammy. The SOL Escape Lite Bivvy eliminates concerns of staying dry and warm because the proprietary fabric lets moisture pass through while keeping rain, snow, and wind on the outside and reflecting your body heat back to you on the inside. Waterproof seams and a simple drawstring hood closure with a short, side zipper allow for easy access while sealing out the elements. These features make the SOL Escape Lite Bivvy suitable for use as a traditional ultra-lightweight, warm-weather sleeping bag or as an over-bag in cold climates. The SOL Escape Lite Bivvy is made from a high-visibility orange exterior which makes it easy for rescuers to spot you even in areas with tree cover.
A useful add-on to any survival pack, the Adventure Medical Kits SOL Escape Lite Bivvy is also a great addition for cold weather camping, summer backpacking or general travel.
