The Gear Junkie: Top 10 Gear of the Year - Best Selling Survival Gear! The Survive Outdoors Longer Escape 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 Longer 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, and the high-visibility orange exterior makes it easy for rescuers to spot you even in areas with high tree cover. Packs into your palm in a nylon stuff sack. Ideal Uses: Backcountry Skiing Emergency Shelter Snowmobiling Summer Sleeping Bag Summit Attempts Hiking alpine bushwalking kayak resus work
