I share the opinions of other users—this sleeping bag is rather for short-term survival or for longer periods with reduced comfort. Despite its flaws, the advantages definitely prevail. I recommend it.

Badger Outdoor Ultralight Bivy Bag NRC Thermal Sleeping Bag
The thermal sleeping bag is a crucial component of survival gear and an integral part of first aid kits.

It offers insulation from the cold ground and shields against adverse weather conditions like wind or rain.
Durable material, double-sided metallized coating
Crafted from thin yet sturdy and waterproof polypropylene film, this product features a dual-sided metallized finish in silver and orange. The film is highly effective at reflecting heat and its vivid, reflective color provides easy visibility of the injured individual.
Compact dimensions and low weight
When unfolded, the sleeping bag measures 90 x 220 cm, offering ample room to shelter an adult and their gear. Once folded, it becomes compact enough to fit in a backpack or jacket pocket. Its lightweight design ensures it doesn't add extra weight to your gear.

I added the thermal sleeping bag to my bug-out bag because it provides extra warmth to a sleeping bag, takes up little space, and the price is attractive. Additionally, an emergency whistle in the set is a big plus.
-
First impression is very positive: the sleeping bag is extremely small, packed in a practical pouch with a drawstring, it's extremely light and practically takes up no space in a backpack. I also appreciate the included emergency whistle. I believe that combined with an emergency tent, it allows you to survive the night safely in tough conditions.

A thermal sleeping bag is a very useful piece of equipment, especially for people who care about their safety during difficult expeditions. In my opinion, it was a great purchase! Made from heat-reflective material, it provides effective protection against the cold, which is extremely important in a crisis situation. It is lightweight and takes up little space, so it's easy to pack into a backpack – perfect for survival gear. During a cold night, it provided an extra layer of insulation. However, you need to remember that this is a solution for emergency situations and will not replace a classic sleeping bag. The material is durable, although you can hear its rustling, which might bother some people. For little money, you get a product that can protect your health or even your life. I definitely recommend it to anyone who goes on outdoor trips or wants to have an emergency backup.

The NRC Badger Outdoor Ultralight Bivy Bag thermal sleeping bag is good protection for an overnight stay in tough conditions. I tested it while sleeping in a drafty conference room during a trip and it protected very well against the draft. Definitely recommend.
-
A very practical and compact item for emergencies. Lightweight, doesn’t take up much space—ideal in my opinion for a BOB or demanding expeditions where anything can happen.
-
This "sleeping bag" or bivy sheet made from NRC foil is really tiny when packed—it fits in one hand. Once unfolded, one person can easily fit inside even with a sleeping bag, so you can get a minimalist “tent” for sleeping under the open sky, in a cave, or in the forest. I recommend it.
-
Small product, very handy. Despite its size, it is very effective and useful. I planned to use it while sleeping in a snow cave, but I haven't had that opportunity yet. In other tests, it met my expectations.
-
The product is packaged in a small pouch. After use, you can put it back, but it requires the right technique to remove all the air. It is airtight. The connection with the black tape could be done more carefully, but overall, it is fully functional. Of course, it has some drawbacks – this solution is meant for emergency situations, and using it daily or as external insulation for a sleeping bag is an exaggeration.
-
It's worth having on hiking trips or while traveling as a backup—it doesn't take up much space and is very light, sure to come in handy in an emergency.
-
The product works well as a bivy bag—it's light and easy to carry.
-
Really useful both for the car and while camping.
-
Very good quality and attractive packaging. Essential in any backpack, especially in winter.
-
I carry this as a just-in-case solution, but it really works for use as a bivy. Pay attention to the dew point and you'll be fine.
-
It's worth carrying this product in the car.
