Hatte das Vergnügen das Bivvybag nur zusammen mit dem Sea to Summit Thermolite Reactive Liner bei morgendlicher Tiefsttemperatur von 12 Grad zu testen (also ohne Schlafsack 🤦♀️). Es war in der Früh schon kalt aber es war erträglich. Hatte aber auch Leggins, Socken, Merino Unterhemd, Merino Langarmshirt und langärmliges Trikot an 😉Gelegen bin ich auf einer Isomatte mit R3,5 Rating und in einem leichten 1 Mann Zelt.

Ottima la tenuta termica capace di valorizzare, proteggere e migliorare qualsiasi sacco a pelo. Se la temperatura cambia da un giorno all’altro la protezione aggiuntiva fornita permette di adattare il comfort del riposo mantenendo costante il calore, senza bisogno di cambiare sacco a pelo. Ottimo il peso basso, la possibilità di piegarlo senza difficoltà anche dopo una notte di utilizzo. Eccezionale la traspirabirabilità: nessuna condensa, nessuna umidità, ho dormito asciutto tutto il tempo!

This is absolutely worth the weight and the money. It's a game changer. I would recommend to anyone, but especially to UL hikers. It has a quarter zip, right hand side, drawstring that pulls the hood tight around you. Just be sure that your nose and mouth are positioned so that you are breathing outside of the bivvy, otherwise you will produce condensation inside. I have never had an issue with condensation inside from the rest of my body though, only when I had my head completely covered over and was exhaling inside the bivvy. This is not some cheap thin mylar emergency blanket material. It's durable and meant to be used over and over. The fabric itself is very similar to Tyvek. At first it may feel a bit stiff, but just use it a couple of nights and it will soften up and I find it's actually a nice fabric feel once it does. I have also machine washed this and the Escape Bivvy Light and they come out fine. The reflective side doesn't seem to flake off and is also long lasting. It may lose a bit of it's reflective value over time, but that's over a long period of use. The price made me hesitate to buy for a while. But after my experience I do not hesitate to recommend it and I will definitely buy another if this one ever gets damaged or lost. I think these should be essential items in every car, for every person, in every bug out bag, in every hikers backpack.I have the Escape Bivvy light in orange, but I really wanted something that didn't stand out so much. So I got this Escape Bivvy in green, and relegated my orange Escape Light to my car. The fabric is noticeably stiffer and feels like it will be more durable than the light version, although I have used my Escape Light for years and never had a tear or puncture. At first I thought it might be too stiff, but after a couple night's use it has softened up. While you could put a very light sleeping bag inside it, it would be a tight fit. What I do, and find it works better, is that I use this as a liner to my sleeping bag, and put it inside. That way this bivvy is closest to my body and reflecting that 80% of my body heat back to me first thing, then the sleeping bag is an insulated layer outside it to catch and retain what body heat escapes the bivy as well as insulating from outside cold.I did an experiement the past two nights since the temperature has been pretty stable. First I slept in my Helikon-Tex Swagman roll, and slept on the coldish side, but still within my comfort range, until early morning when the cold woke me. Our body temp naturally dips at some point early morning, which I think also coincides with the lowest air temp at night. I had to put my quilt inside the swag roll to get back to sleep. Last night, with the same base layers, I used this Escape bivvy sack inside my swag roll and slept toasty warm all through the night. I was not too hot, bu much warmer than the night before. It makes a huge difference. It packs down so small, and is so light weight there is no reason not to bring it. I think it should be in every backpack, every bug out bag, every car.If the weight is an issue, try the Escape Bivvy Light, it's a little less durable, but I've been using it for years and it's never torn or punctured, but I don't put it directly on the ground.
