Product Description
The S.O.L Survive Outdoors Longer 70% Reflective Escape Emergency Bivvy is nothing less than a revolution in survival gear. The complaint with most ultra-light survival 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 bag like a traditional sleeping bag. The low-visibility OD green color with repeating black logos is ideal for those times when survival means you don’t want to be seen. This reflective blanket is a survival tool you can rely on when the adventure gets rough.

I have the Escape Bivvy light in orange, but I really wanted something that didn't stand out so much. So I got this Escape Bivvy in green, and relegated my orange Escape Light to my car. The fabric is noticeably stiffer and feels like it will be more durable than the light version, although I have used my Escape Light for years and never had a tear or puncture. At first I thought it might be too stiff, but after a couple night's use it has softened up. While you could put a very light sleeping bag inside it, it would be a tight fit. What I do, and find it works better, is that I use this as a liner to my sleeping bag, and put it inside. That way this bivvy is closest to my body and reflecting that 80% of my body heat back to me first thing, then the sleeping bag is an insulated layer outside it to catch and retain what body heat escapes the bivy as well as insulating from outside cold.
I did an experiement the past two nights since the temperature has been pretty stable. First I slept in my Helikon-Tex Swagman roll, and slept on the coldish side, but still within my comfort range, until early morning when the cold woke me. Our body temp naturally dips at some point early morning, which I think also coincides with the lowest air temp at night. I had to put my quilt inside the swag roll to get back to sleep. Last night, with the same base layers, I used this Escape bivvy sack inside my swag roll and slept toasty warm all through the night. I was not too hot, bu much warmer than the night before. It makes a huge difference. It packs down so small, and is so light weight there is no reason not to bring it. I think it should be in every backpack, every bug out bag, every car.
If the weight is an issue, try the Escape Bivvy Light, it's a little less durable, but I've been using it for years and it's never torn or punctured, but I don't put it directly on the ground.
I encourage any prepper/backpacker/outdoor enthusiast to keep one of these in their arsenal of gear!
Pros:
1) Very well constructed
2) Quality zipper w/drawstring hood
3) Breathable so to avoid condensation buildup
4) Substantial thickness of protective and heat reflective fabrics used in construction.
5) Warm
6) Easily packable and comes with a great stuff sack.
There are a few downsides to this unit that are specifically related to the overall size.
I am 6' 250lbs with a muscular build and this unit was a bit too snug for my comfort. I felt pretty confined when attempting to zip it all of way up. Needless to say I was unable to pull the backside of the unit over my head to engage the drawstring/mummy cord. Also, I would not be able to fit in this at all if I had on my outdoor gear (ie coat & boots). The material has almost no give to move around in. It should be big enough to fit at least the clothing that you are wearing comfortably.
Cons:
1) Narrow fitment
2) Could use a few added inches in height and width to the entire unit.
Ultimately:
I believe that this unit is fully able to help protect from the elements in a modified capacity (due to my size and the fitment of the respirant). And I honestly was thinking of returning it because it didn't really fit me as I thought, and believed that it would. But I appreciate the construction so much that I will keep it and use it as a foot print for my sleep pad, which should greatly increase the R value of my entire sleep system.
With that said, I do recommend this product but advise that if you have a larger build that you should sample one before your purchase.

Provides peace of mind on fall hunting trips here in Canada. Only downside is material is rather noisy when inside it .
