Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an outstanding piece of equipment.None of us fully expects to be caught in a bad situation; they EMERGE upon us, and we'd better be prepared.
I ordered this for my daily emergency kit (something that would fit in a small shoulder pouch or Camelbak M.U.L.E.If you're looking for a sleeping bag for regular use, by all means, buy the doggone sleeping bag.This isn't it.For good lightweight bags, check out SnugPack. They're great.But I honestly don't want to carry around even a compact 3 lb. sleeping bag every day "just in case" I get caught needing shelter.This little bivvy foots the bill perfectly.
The Heatsheets Emergency Bivvy in the "stuff sack" is about half the size of a soda can and weighs mere ounces.I didn't weigh it, but it's negligible.The stuff sack is ultralight nylon with a cheap but sufficient drawstring.
The Bivvy itself is made of reflective mylar with a hi-viz orange coating on the outside.The material is THIN!But it's warm.You'll retain 90% of your body heat from the bag alone, which is good in case your clothes get soaked and you have to hang them out to dry.The mylar in this product is a bit better than in the cheaper fold-up space blankets you see at most big-box stores.It's got a bit of flex/stretch to it and is slightly more tear resistant.It WILL tear, of course, but it's not as disastrous as in the other options.Tears can be repaired with duct tape in a pinch.
If you're serious about building an emergency kit, you need to add this piece of gear.It's better for personal insulation than a space blanket, as it's a bag.You can still pack the "blanket" and use that as a tarp/shelter.For the price, the size, the weight and the added tech above the older blankets, it's hard to go wrong with this for a short term emergency.
