Summary: 5 Stars
Great bag for emergency warmth or as supplement to sleeping bag for unplanned low temps. One of my favorite outdoor products.Customer Review: Not quite as advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently purchased this item and I was initially impressed with the material and design. I used the bivy as a sleeping bag during a summer backpacking trip instead of taking my normal down bag along. It was super light and it didn't take up alot of space in my backpack. The temp dropped into the upper 60's at night and all I needed to do was cover myself with the bivy. I didn't even get into the bag. There were no condensation problems. I was totally comfortable. The material isn't crinkly like a space blanket.
The two problems I encountered were the bivvies I purchased did not have the foot vents, even though Adventure Medical Kits advertises there are. The thread used for the velcro is weak. Some of the stitching is unraveling from the velcro and I've only opened the bag portion a few times. That's the reason for the 3 star rating.
Otherwise, it's a good product and it definitely could save your life in a survival situation. Be gentle on the material though. If you want a cheap, featherweight summer sleeping bag, this is the way to go also.
