I used this on a bivvy trip for 2 nights in the highlands of Scotland in May - my first time using a bivvy bag as part of my sleep system under a tarp. Temperature was ~2C overnight (including snow).Combined with a good down sleeping bag and decent inflatable sleep mat, this helped keep me warm with a reflective inner surface, but without my expected moisture/condensation problem, as it is made from a breathable fabric.I would note that the fabric is quite noisy/crinkly. This did not bother me as I had good earplugs, but companions on any trip may find it disturbing during the night.It is a mummy shaped bag and it is (relatively) close fitting. If you're on the larger side (>185cm >110kg) then you definitely want to check how this will work with the other elements of your sleep system.The bag comes out of it's storage all neatly rolled up - I just stuffed it back in again and, while it was a squeeze, it went back in okay.A good bit of kit.

Das Ding ist einfach genial! Superleicht, dabei sehr klein aber sehr große Wirkung. Habe sie ein paarmal getestet und man spürt deutlich die Wärmereflektion. Absolute Kaufempfehlung für Ausflüge mit offenem Ende!!!

Excellent item to have in an emergency kit or BOB.Well worth the few dollars the cost instead of the standard space blankets, you can crawl inside of those and stay warm. These are an excellent addition to your sleeping bag if cold weather is a concern. By using one of these INSIDE the sleeping bag you greatly increase the effectiveness of the bag by a good 20 degrees F. Even on their own with your clothes on these can make the difference between staying alive or becoming a grizzly’s popsicle. This is an important item, use this inside the sleeping bag. If you put the sleeping bag inside any perspiration will soak into the bag and reduce its insulation properties. When using the bivvy inside the sleeping bag you limit perspiration soaking into any clothes you wear keeping the sleeping bag dry. Even though the material allows some moisture to escape which will find its way into the sleeping bag the majority of it will stay within the bivvy. This literally can make the difference between staying alive and becoming that popsicle.You can easily pull the head cover back over the top of your head and pull everything together so that no warm air inside escapes. I’m just over 6 feet and found that there is still enough length to keep everything covered if I get into a bit of a fetal position, oh how I envy short people sometimes.The material is far better than the average space blanket as well, far more durable. And while it seems to have some fluff to it there is no insulating value in that, it’s all in how well it reflects heart back at you. That said, this isn’t made for long term regular use, hence the fact that it’s an emergency item.

Pros: This bivvy is light and it compacts to a small volume. It kept me VERY warm when I used it with my 28 F down sleeping bag in the Rockies when nights got down to the high 30s. It was also waterproof when it rained. It kept my sleeping bag dry, when my friend's $150 bivvy leaked water in. So bottom line... You will survive in this sleeping bag. This bivvy is also a pretty good value option.Com: I had the worst nights sleep ever in this thing. I slept in it for 10 nights straight (with no shower I might add). This bivvy does breathe to an extent so that your sleeping bag isn't soaking wet from your sweat during the night, but I smelled myself for every minute during those nights and that alone made me sleep pretty bad. Also, I would get so hot in this bivvy. I probably didn't even need a sleeeping bag most nights. I probably would've been just fine wearing a couple layers in this bivvy. Another downside of this bivvy is that the bag that you're supposed to store the bivvy in starting splitting at the seam after like 3 times using it.

This also does exactly what the manufacturer sells it as. I keep this in my day-pack when I go day-hiking in the deep woods. I wouldn't want to bring my whole overnight kit for day-hikes, so this is a great part of my emergency shelter kit that solves the need to separate yourself from wind and moisture during the night (if it came to that). At some point I will likely add a few of these to each of our family's cars just in case we find ourselves stuck somewhere.Here are some useful thoughts:- The size of the packed product is small, though not as small as I had thought. I'd say it's a little larger than the size of a Fosters beer can.- Mine weighs 8.75 ounces packed inside it's bag.- I'm 5'10" and the bag does pull up over my head.- I have very wide shoulders that don't normally fit into most sleeping bags. I fit into this just fine.- I slept in this in the house and there were no issues with moisture build-up, so the manufacturer's claims seem to be accurate - at least at 68 F in a home.- I think this probably would work fine as an ultralight sleeping bag / Bivy for warmer temps. Perhaps 50F and up.- I think the quality is great, but if you use it as a sleeping bag on a regular basis I can't imagine that it would last. I'm not saying that it's cheap. I just don't think it was built for prolonged use (and I don't think the manufacturer is trying to sell it that way either, so I don't see that as their fault).- the seams are not sealed (not that AMK said they would be). This means that someone trying to use this product as a regular sleeping bag will find that they get moisture inside the bag through the seams. I don't see this as an issue if you want to use this for it's intended purpose, but for those that are thinking of this as a sleeping bag replacement you might want to know that the seams will fail you in this regard.Happy adventuring!

Backpacked the Zion Narrows and packed the SOL escape bivvy instead of my usual sleeping bag. At 8oz, my friends were jealous of the light weight. We arrived at the campsite along the Virgin river with rain. I set up my Big Agnes fly creek UL1 tent, thermarest trekker pad, and unrolled the bivvy. I changed my wet clothes for a light fleece jacket and Smartwool long johns. After dinner I crawled into my tent and bivvy for well-deserved sleep.I awoke later to more rain and cold, so slid further into the bivvy, zipped it all the way up and tightened the hood cord... ahhhh, nice and warm again. At 5'7", I fit perfectly in this bivvy with some room to spare. If I had expected less than 55-60 degree temps, I would have worn socks and a fleece hat or balaclava, which could take this down to a comfortable 45 degrees. The bivvy stayed dry, no condensation build up. As I moved around in my sleep, it was quiet and held in my body heat. As I warmed up and cooled down, I would zip or unzip as necessary.I am careful with all my equipment, so I expect this bivvy to last a long time. It will be my go to on all 3-season backpacking trips. I have to wear warm clothes in camp anyway, so I might as well use them as a shell for sleeping in the bivvy. This is great for ultralight backpackers!I also take it in my first-aid kit during day hikes.
