Bivvy Bags
We make bivvy bags for people who actually sleep in them: on mountain ledges, at the end of long rides, and under open skies when a tent would be one thing too many. The Hunka is the starting point: tough, simple, proven. The Kloke is for when weight is everything: 285g, 20,000mm waterproof rating, 30,000 MVTR breathability. One of the lightest performing bivvies on the market. The Elan is for when you want more than a bivvy bag but less than a tent: hooped construction, weather protection closer to a backpacking tent, in a bivvy-sized package. All made with PFAS-free fabrics and DWR treatments.
Bivvy Bags
If you choose to bivvy you've chosen a minimalist approach to camping or are moving fast and light. You want your bivvy bag to be lightweight, you want it to pack small and you want it to be as tough as you are. Our best-selling Hunka and Hunka XL are made from ripstop nylon for rugged micro adventures. Kloke is our super lightweight option coming in at a hardly-know-you're-carrying it 285g.
Waterproof bivvy bags
Our bivvy bags have a hydrostatic head rating of at least 10,000mm - well above the 1,500mm required to call something "fully waterproof". So you can sleep dry and easy in the knowledge your bivvy won't turn into a wet one if bad weather blows in.
Hooped bivvy bags
Elan takes things up a notch with its hooped construction giving wet weather performance comparable to a backpacking tent but in a bivvy-sized package. It's for ultimate protection from the elements.
