Survival Frog Tact Bivvy 2.0 Emergency Sleeping Bag with Stuff Sack, Carabiner & Survival Whistle – Compact, Lightweight, Waterproof, Reusable Thermal Bivy Sack Shelter Kit

This is essentially a long plastic bag of reasonable quality. Seams are reinforced. I could easily scoot into the thing with ample room-length and width - at 5'10", 170lbs. Quality stuff sack, working emergency whistle with built in d-ring. I opted to use this product for my day pack / car e-kit with the assumption of addressing short-term emergencies (inside of 5 days). Based on the assumption of addressing a short-term emergency: LIKE: sturdy for intent, lightweight, small, repackable (I took it out for fit and to see if a fleece sleeping bag would fit in it & vice versa) DISLIKE: super-noisy (not ideal for BOB when you may need to be quiet even when your tossing & turning at night), a bit pricey even though I like the thing I feel like the components are pretty inexpensive to have a lower price point For my BOB, I chose a SOL Escape (more money) in combination with a cheapo flannel Coleman sleeping bag. The BOB means you're probably not coming back home and may need to be wherever for an extend period of time. While the Tact Bivvy is a thin polyester plastic to maintain lightness and packability, I am not convinced it would hold up to pulling it in and out of the bag for extended periods of 'wandering.' While I am pleased with the purchase, I think it could be a bit less expensive hence 4 stars.

I purchased this product to round out my Get-Home bag, which doubles as an emergency kit for my Jeep. I was surprised how lightweight and compact this product is. After having read many reviews - both positive and negative - I decided to remove the bag from its pouch. While the material is very thin, I expected it to be more so, making it likely to be a one-time, disposable bag. Instead, if treated properly, should last for several uses - should anyone experience the misfortune of finding themselves in an emergency situation more than once... Being nearly 6’ and 230 lbs, I wanted to make sure the bag could accommodate me so I opened it up, stepped into it and pulled it up over my head. Very quickly, I noticed it’s heat-retaining qualities. It seems entirely capable of performing as advertised, tho laying on my living room floor is far different from huddling under a makeshift shelter on a temperature-plummeting night; I hope I’ll never need to put this product to the test. Keep in mind this product is wind and waterproof, meaning it is a moisture barrier inside AND out. As the directions state, condensation will occur inside the bag if you don’t allow for occasional ventilation. It’s like being in a giant trash bag. Use common sense and one can stay warm and dry for the extent of its need. Many complained in their reviews of not being able to refold and roll the bag tightly enough to get it back to its original size and into the pouch. While it did take about ten minutes to be sure all the air was removed from it as it was folded, I assure you it is entirely possible to get it back into its pouch exactly as it was received. In my opinion, this was money well-spent and recommend it for any emergency need.

If you want something for emergency and something to get you out of the elements, this will do it. Its plenty long for even the tall people of the world. The bag is nice with the addition of the a whistle and paracord. Small extras that may help if needed. I gave this 4 stars for only 1 reason. They claim its thicker than the others. Not really. Feels about the same as a regular mylar blanket that I have. I chose a bivvy over a regular blanket due to extreme cold we get during the winter. Overall, great product for what I bought it for. Good to keep in the car.

I bought this to put in my bag in case I ever needed it and at The Gathering Of The Juggalos, I very much needed it. It was storming for the week I was there, even though our tent was water resistant, condensation would drip in and a couple tears formed so our tent had some decent puddles. I opened this bivvy up on top of a puddle in the tent, and it completely kept out all the water. Very very warm too, not the most ideal for an Ohio summer night but it’ll keep you toasty. Upon waking up, the inside was totally coated with my sweat, so I decided to just use it as a “dry” bag to keep my stuff in for protection from the rain. I put in 2 heavily-stuffed backpacks and a garbage bag of clothes into the bivvy, I was immediately impressed, the material is strong, didnt show any signs of ripping or tearing while I picked it up and allowed the weight of my backpacks to hang in it. TLDR: 1. I slept in a rain puddle and stayed dry, although the inside got coated in sweat. 2, very thermal insulating, kept me very warm, hence the sweat. 3, strong material that wont rip under normal circumstances. Although I was not in a “survival” situation, this bivvy came in handy in a rainy tent at a music festival when we had no car to stay dry in. I would buy again, its very compact and light, you can keep multiple in a bag and it will serve its purposes

Good quality, fast delivery

Ich war erstaund! Ich schlief bei ca. 8grad Aussentemperatur nur mit dem "Schlafsack" und ohne Schuhe im Wald. Also die Kälteisolation ist sehr sehr gut, nichteinmal die Füße wurden recht kalt! Der Biwaksack ist einfach gesagt ein lebensgroßer Olivgrüner Müllsack mit der innenbeschichtung einer Rettungsdecke. Leider bekam er am Waldboden einige Löcher, daher würde ich sagen das er eher als einweg biwaksack zu verwenden ist. Trozdem ist er kinderleicht wider zusammemzulegen und passt auch wider problemlos in die Tasche! Alles in allem spreche ich eine absolute Kaufempfehlung aus!

Ideal for rucksack camping but can take a while to warm up.

Medida idónea para saco emergencia muy recomendable

Molto bello, veramente piccolo!! Ideale per chi non vuole portare troppo peso nello zaino! Ma per fortuna non l'ho ancora provato, spero di non doverlo fare visto che l'ho presso in caso di emmergenza. Se dovessi provarlo modificherò la recensione.

Be careful with the marketing spin on this one - this is nothing more than a space blanket fashioned into a sleeping bag. Check the other 1 star reviews...
