SOL Escape Bivvy with Hood – Orange

The SOL Extreme Weather Escape Bivvy with Hood is a lightweight emergency shelter designed to protect you from wind, rain, snow and cold when you need reliable backcountry protection. Its breathable ThermaShell™ fabric helps retain your radiant body heat while allowing moisture vapour to escape, providing significantly more comfort than a basic emergency blanket or bivvy.

The waterproof seams, drawstring hood and side zip help seal out the elements, while the high-visibility orange exterior makes you easier for rescuers to spot. Use it as an emergency bivvy in challenging conditions or as a lightweight sleeping bag when conditions are warmer.
