Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag WGTE
The Snugpak® SF Bivvi Bag WGTE is perfect for UK weather conditions and is the ideal choice for fast and light ventures, adventure races, bushcraft and emergency survival. With a small volume and exceptional light weight, it can be folded or packed away as a stalwart item in your outdoor kit, with or without a sleeping bag.
The 5000mm hydrostatic head waterproof and windproof material keeps you warm and dry by trapping heat and preventing moisture loss. Plus, the non-locking 1/2-length front zip allows rapid egress when you have to move fast, and every second is critical.
The bivvi bag is short for bivouac, a French term meaning 'temporary encampment.' You can use it alone for lightweight summer races or pair it with an Adventure Race Sleeping System for harbour areas and longer excursions all year round. The SF Bivvi Bag WGTE can protect against bad weather in emergencies and is helpful if you're stuck in less-than-ideal circumstances.
The Snugpak SF Bivvi Bag WGTE is made of a special fabric called Paratex Dry. This fabric allows moisture to escape, keeping you warm, dry and comfortable.
Paratex Dry moves moisture out of the sleeping system at an impressive 7.5L per m² per 24 hours. Stay dry and confident in any weather with the Snugpak SF Bivvi Bag WGTE. It has advanced features to protect you and your sleeping bag during outdoor adventures.
Snugpak Bivvi Bags come in standard and extra-long sizes. They can be used with 4-season or Expedition (Polar)-based sleeping bags and the Special Forces System.
Please Note: Snugpak Bivvi Bags have a solid coating, and although designed to be breathable, sufficient air cannot pass through the fabric to sustain breathing. To prevent suffocation, do not seal any Bivvi Bag system completely.

Spend the money and get the right kit.
Great bit of kit , does what it says , proven in the field , if your on the floor and there is a chance of moisture get yourself one of these .
Good quality light and compact
Good quality bivvi . Seems well made and very light and compact. Not overly large so will be fine for me in my sleeping bag but no spare space for kit.
Lightweight Bivi Bag
I pitched the Snugpak SF Bivi Bag to use on a long distance walk instead of my heavier military gortex one. It was very lightweight and packed down extremely small. I just thought it was a little on the small size. The central zip made it extremely easy to get in and out of not sure if rely on it in poor weather as my only shelter system. If rain was likely I always deployed a tarp too. Nice bit of kit just needs to be a bit more generous in size. I’m 5’10 and prefer side sleeping so found it a little bit restrictive.
