Ortovox - Bivy Single - Bivvy bag tested

Hi Anna,

A bivy bag is not a sleeping bag, does not have any insulation and is not tested for comfort temperature etc. It is for emergency use only to protect against wind and rain.

"Whether on a day tour or during a multi-day alpine tour in the mountains: A Bivi bag is a vital piece of equipment for every mountain climber. Whether you’re bivouacking out of choice and using the bivi bag as a protective cover for your sleeping bag, or if the bivi bag is actually providing critical protection in an emergency – the BIVY SINGLE protects you!

Thanks to the PU coating it is water and dirt resistant. We have also kept the windproof one-person bivi bag’s bright orange color: This means you will be spotted more quickly in an emergency situation. The compressed stowaway bag with rolltop also ensures that the BIVY SINGLE takes up as little space as possible in your backpack."
