This is one of those things that your emergency kit - whether in your car, for camping, or backpacking - should not be without. It is lightweight but effective and packs down incredibly small, about the size of a 4 fluid ounce bottle. The bivvy sack comes in it's own small bag with a drawstring and there is still room inside to include additional small emergency supplies. It is so light and so inexpensive, there really isn't a good reason not to have one of these as an emergency backup shelter. It is especially good for dayhikes, where you don't want to pack a lot; there is ALWAYS a possibility of a dayhike going wrong when you hike far and are remote (getting lost or injured) and if you absolutely have to spend the night when you didn't expect to, you'll be glad you tossed this little guy in the pack.
While the material is reasonably strong, it can still be torn by shoes, keys, and other sharp objects, greatly reducing its effectiveness as a survival shelter. This is something that you have to climb into and there is only room for one, so take that into account if you are seeking to provide emergency shelter provisions for more than one. I personally feel this is superior to other emergency blankets as it is basically a tube rather than a sheet, and the material seems more durable than others I have looked at.

I can't praise the Adventure Medical Kits Sol Emergency Bivvy, enough. It's small, lightweight, and works great. I used it one night on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia during a Thunderstorm. It got down to the 30's as well. I won't say I was comfortable and warm in it (It's made to keep you alive only), But I made it through the night, completely dry too!, also there wasn't any condensation build up in side it either. Great Product.

Will disintegrate if stored in the heat.. I've tried a few of these as they work great for back packing lite.. but they just don't last very long in the Arizona heat.

Good
I keep one of these in my car ghb, and plan to get another one when budget permits. I like the fact that it's light weight and small so if I have to run I am not weighted down.

Small wonder
This is of course bulkier than the standard emergency blanket, but it is also funcionally superior. So, while it won't fit in your pocket, it's smaller than larger bivvys and will... Read more
