Go Time Gear Life Bivy Emergency Survival Sleeping Bag Thermal Bivy - Use as Emergency Bivy Sack, Survival Sleeping Bag, Mylar Emergency Blanket

We bought these LIFE BIVY to keep in our vehicle in the event of an emergency on the road. We travel a lot during the winter and like to be prepared with extra blankets, shovel, flashlight, snacks, etc. Although that emergency hasnt happened, thankfully, we tested the bags by wearing them over simple clothing and shoes and sitting outside in PA's 30'F winter. We were still warm and dry after an hour. My husband tucked his coffee mug inside his bag but that produced condensation which made him cold sooner. I could have stayed out there for much longer. The bags pack up very small so they dont take up much space at all, are a comfortable, roomy fit, light and surprisingly very warm. I'll be ordering several more for our children who also drive in the winter. Great addition to our safety kits during storms of all kinds too. I only wish I could convince our cat to sit still inside it with me! Great find!

I bought this just in case of an emergency (SHTF) where I would really need a survival bag, to save my life. I'm not gonna just take it out and play with it and chance ruining it. This manufacturer has some pretty reliable products so I will chance that it's just as great as other items they have. Remember, it's not stated to be used as an everyday sleeping bag. It supposed to save your arse in case you get into trouble or a SHTF situation. I think I'm gonna have to buy 11 more and keep 2 in every vehicle and 1 in each "get-the-heck-out-of-town" bags. So to sum it all up, I believe I got an excellent product at a really great co$t.

This emergency bivy could definitely be a life saver. It is lightweight and compact and won't take up much room in a pack. I plan to keep it in my hunting pack at all times. Like my emergency medical supplies, and bear spray, its something I hope I'll never have to use, but if I need it, I will be very glad to have it. If I ever get lost or injured, the orange color could help search and rescue personnel find me faster too. I took the bivy out of its stuff sack to check it out and when I got inside it, I immediately could feel my body heat being reflected back. I'm 6 foot tall and I was able to lay down and pull it up over my head if I curled up a little and bent my knees. When I lay straight, it easily came up over my shoulders. The bag isn't super roomy, but it does the job. I was able to fold it back up and get it back into the stuff sack, but it took a little time because the material is slippery and it was hard to keep air from getting trapped in the folds. That was probably just poor technique on my part. The material seems fairly tough, but because it is thin I'd imagine that sharp rocks or sticks might poke a hole or rip it, so I wouldn't expect it to stand up to frequent use. But that's not what I bought it for anyway. I'm keeping it for emergency use only and because its only weighs about 4 ounces, I won't mind carrying it with me. The price is reasonable too and won't break the bank if I need to replace it if it got damaged. If you are a hunter, backpacker, or hiker, I would recommend you consider getting this bivy. Put one in your pack and keep it there, because its cheap insurance against hypothermia and might just save your life.

Compact warming bag that can be carried in a backpack or pocket to protect you from hypothermia in extreme emergency situations. Hiking out west in wilderness desert locations the temperatures between night and day can vary drastically and present the ever-present danger of hypothermia at night if unprotected. I bought a friend (and myself) one of these after he wandered off and got lost in the desert of southern Utah wearing only a T-shirt and was unable to find his way back to our truck. Being unable to locate him he was forced to spend a night in sub-zero conditions. He only just survived to be located by a rescue helicopter the following day. There won't be a next time for him but this could save a life in a similar emergency.

I have carried a bivy in my glove compartment for several years since I live in the northeast and it is handy for emergencies if I get stranded in a snow storm. My son got a job where he will be travelling on snowy upstate New York roads. I bought him this for his Christmas stocking. It looks well made and I will feel better knowing he will be prepared and warm if he gets stuck in a snow storm. He also likes to hike in the Adirondacks and I am going to suggest he pop this in his daypack when he hits the trail. Excellent product in a small compact size.

If you are considering an "emergency" bivy sack, this is a good one to purchase. But note, this is for emergencies and survival. This is not something to carry around figuring that you would use it on a daily basis. Based on reviews, too many folks think that this is a substitute for carrying a sleeping bag. It is NOT. This item is lightweight and packaged in a convenient sack. Yes if you take it out to inspect, it does take a while to fold back up and to put in the sack. Also note, do not stick a sleeping bag inside this bivy unless in an emergency and you are getting drenched. This sack does not "breath" and you'll get condensation build up. I can't stress enough, this bivy sack is for emergencies and to keep you alive. It will protect you from precipitation and retain body heat. An item such as this is essential to any "bug-out" kit or back pack. I keep one in my truck and carry one whenever packing in the back country. IF I ever have to use this bivy sack, I plan to use it only once! Highly recommended.

It's small and compact, very light weight. I have one right now but will buy more to put in different locations as needed for emergencies. The Bivy is about 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. I'm sure everyone reading this knows of Milar Space Blankets. The bivy is waterproof on the outside and has the same heat reflective material inside. It's essentially a waterproof, milar body bag for emergencies. There is plenty of room for most people to get inside the Bivy. Excellent piece of gear that everyone should have in their bags, cars, and anywhere else! I suggest getting more than one.

Perfect must have. I use for hiking but also keep Thank you.in the car for emergencies!

Purchased for hunting backpack in case I get stuck while out in the mountains while hunting. Hoping I never have to use it!! Super small and light, does not take up much critical space in the backpack or add weight.

Utilisé souvent en rando au sol pour éviter de cailler la nuit; bien pratique mais assez fragile: il se déchire un peu partout sur les bords et je le rafistole au scotch d'électricien; du coup qualité médiocre

I bought the Life Bivvy and Life Tent together both are by the same maker and Both are incredibly good, easy to use and easy to put back into the tiny stuff bags that they come in. I hope that I never have to use these but its good to know that I have them in my day sack when I go hill/mountain walking. These are bright orange on the outside and silver on the inside they also have a whistle but that to be honest isn't to great, get yourself a Referee type its louder.
