SOL – Escape Bivy

SOL Escape Bivy, warm, protective and practical

The SOL Escape Bivy is the kind of kit you always want in your pack. It’s seen a lot of use on ultra races (remember that photo of the three front-runners huddled in a portaloo during the Tour Divide?). Compact, light and a lifesaver when it counts. This bivy keeps you warm and, when you need it, offers protection from rain, snow and wind (though it’s no picnic in those conditions).

The breathable, waterproof material lets moisture escape reasonably well so you don’t wake up clammy, while reflecting 70% of your body heat back at you. So you stay warm, even in cold or wet conditions.

The enlarged hood adds extra protection and comfort, and the durable, tear-resistant material can take a knock. Even if it gets punctured, it won’t tear further.

At 213 x 78 cm the Escape Bivy gives you enough room to lie comfortably, while staying small enough to carry everywhere.

In short, a reliable and durable emergency bivy for anyone who heads out prepared.
