Fjord Nansen Lenvik Bivy Bag - Green

I took this bivvy bag as insurance for trips when the weather can deteriorate suddenly. In fact, it really gives peace of mind: the sleeping bag doesn’t get wet from damp grass and light rain, and at night you don’t feel like you’re lying on a wet rag. The green colour is practical and does not attract attention. But you need to understand that the bivvy has its minus – condensation can collect inside, especially if everything is tightly closed and it’s cold. I try to leave at least minimal ventilation, then it's much better. Also, there isn’t as much space in it as in a tent, so changing clothes or "moving around" isn’t pleasant – this is an emergency/minimalist option. Overall, as protection for your sleeping bag and for overnight stays without a tent, it is a very useful thing.

I have this product and have been using it for ten years. I knew it wasn’t vapour-permeable and wouldn’t work as a bivy. I use it as a large, fully waterproof bag to protect my gear during camping trips, and in this function it works brilliantly. I recommend this product and the shop Military.

I've been using it for 6 years mainly as a mattress protector. Unfortunately, due to the condensation of steam inside, I wouldn't recommend it for down sleeping bags or quilts – the effect is similar to covering yourself with plastic film. Pluses are lightness, compactness and total waterproofness. Minuses: lack of breathability and intense condensation during sleep.

Review for model:

It doesn't work well in the field – it's better to invest a bit more and buy something better.

A very light and compact bivy sheet, however the material doesn't breathe well.
