S.O.L. Survive Outdoors Longer S.O.L. 70% Reflective Escape Bivvy, Orange
February 2, 2020 - Comment
The S.O.L Survive Outdoors Longer 70% Reflective Escape Emergency Bivvy is nothing less than a revolution in backcountry shelters. The complaint with most ultra-light emergency shelters is the same: condensation builds up inside as you get warm, leaving your clothes soaking wet. With the Escape Bivvy, condensation is no longer an issue, and you never again have to choose between staying dry and staying warm. The proprietary fabric lets moisture escape at the same time that it keeps rain, snow, and wind on the outside – all while reflecting your body heat back to you. Waterproof seams plus a drawstring hood closure and side zip mean you can seal out the elements entirely or use the bivvy like a traditional sleeping bag. The high-visibility orange exterior makes it easy for rescuers to spot you even in areas with high tree cover.
Product Features

- Reflects 70% of your body heat back to you to prevent heat loss and trap warm air
- Waterproof seams and drawstring hood let’s you seal out the elements

Saved my bacon. Recently went on a backpacking trip to Desolation Wilderness. It was the first time I have used a few of the pieces of equipment in my pack. One of them being a 35* rated quilt. Well I thought the forecast had said overnight lows in the upper 30’s. Turns out the lows were in the low 20’s. At the last moment before I left my car I grabbed this bevy out of my car’s emergency kit. So glad I did. Had three layers of thermals on top and bottom and I was still cold under the quilt. I got out the…
Bivvy Best Backpacked the Zion Narrows and packed the SOL escape bivvy instead of my usual sleeping bag. At 8oz, my friends were jealous of the light weight. We arrived at the campsite along the Virgin river with rain. I set up my Big Agnes fly creek UL1 tent, thermarest trekker pad, and unrolled the bivvy. I changed my wet clothes for a light fleece jacket and Smartwool long johns. After dinner I crawled into my tent and bivvy for well-deserved sleep.I awoke later to more rain and cold, so…
Cool Light weight bivy, pretty strong too I have a regular bivy but rarely use it as my tent is only 24 ozs. I picked this up as a light weight way to crank up warmth of a lighter bag and to carry on extreme day hikes (just in case). I am 6-1 188 lbs and I fit in this bivy in street clothes. I also found that I could use my Mountain Hardwear Lamina 45 inside. Not constricted, but not much extra room. Also at 40 degrees it was way too hot inside. The draw cords allow the hood and shoulder openings to be closed to the “nose only”…
