Bivy bags / sleeping bag covers

Looking for a hiking shelter that's much lighter and more compact than a traditional tent? Discover our sleeping bag covers and bivy bags for your minimalist survival adventures!

Sleeping bag covers: extra warmth with minimal bulk

The sleeping bag cover, also known as a bivy bag, bivi, or bivvy, is a true alternative to the classic hiking tent. While bivy bags don't offer the same level of protection as a tent, they have a major advantage: their extremely lightweight design! Even the lightest tent in the world can't compete with the ultra-light weight of bivy bags, which are barely noticeable at the bottom of your backpack, tucked between your water bottle and rain gear. A sleeping bag cover is a sleeping solution with minimal bulk, helping you stay warmer and providing extra insulation so you can sleep comfortably-even without a traditional shelter. But a bivy isn't just an alternative survival shelter: it can also be used with your tent for extra warmth, acting as an emergency layer if the cold suddenly sets in during your bivouac!

The bivy bag: an improvised survival shelter

While a bivy bag is a minimalist and lightweight way to add warmth inside your sleeping bag, it can become a true emergency shelter when paired with a tarp. Again, you save on weight and space-even compared to an ultralight tent! With your telescopic poles or even your own trekking poles, tarp, sleeping bag, cover, and mat, you're ready for a comfortable night outdoors without overloading your hiking backpack with a full bivouac kit.

For reliable protection, choose a sleeping bag cover!

The sleeping bag cover is the ideal extra layer for your bivouac trips. Waterproof, water-resistant, and breathable, the bivy bag gives you added protection from rain and ground moisture! But the sleeping bag cover doesn't just protect against rain: it also shields you from the wind, making it the ultimate bivouac accessory. The bivy is shaped to fit your sleeping bag along its entire length, completely preventing wind from getting inside your sleeping bag. Plus, its low profile means it can't be blown away by a gust of wind! The sleeping bag cover is an accessory that enhances your bivouac gear, improving both comfort and protection.
