Bivouac sack

Sick of my tent and fancy going for one of these.

Any recommendations peeps??

British army issue goretex number will see you right, you're looking at around 900g though

As shewie has stated above - army issue is the biz - just not particularly lightweight. Although if you're ditching your tent, that shouldn't be a problem!

Sweet thanks lads.

I'm so torn about the way to go... I'm a bit of a newbie so I'm in the process of finding my best outdoors setup. I went away two weeks ago in a tent and had a horrible nights sleep, just didn't feel right!

Was initially thinking Tarp and Hammock but I figured the Bivvi bag would be useable in more situations.

+1 for the army bivvy bag

+1 for the army bivvybag. I use mine with a tarp and it's a superb combo.

yep as above, relatively cheap and if you like that setup you can always upgrade to something lighter or with zips etc as and when

Dutch army bivvy. As the british one but with some headroom & mosquito netting.

If you get a DD Travel hammock, you can either hang it as a hammock or sleep in it as a bivvy. Best of both worlds!

I've got the Alpkit Hunka XL - it's light but top entry only so not the easiest to get into perhaps but performs well
